This is licensed work, and that matters
Gas line work is the one area of plumbing where doing it right is not just about avoiding a callback. A gas leak is a safety issue, so this work is done by licensed plumbers, permitted, and pressure-tested and inspected before it is put into service. That is not red tape; it is the process that confirms a line holds and will not leak into a home. We do gas work to the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), the fuel-gas companion to the International Plumbing Code (IPC) that North Texas jurisdictions enforce, and we test every line we run or repair.
The jobs range from repairing a suspected leak, to running a new line for a range, a water heater, a pool heater, or an outdoor kitchen, to extending gas for an addition. In every case the line is sized for the appliance's demand, run in approved materials, and tested under pressure before it carries gas.
What to do if you smell gas
- Leave the building first; do not stay to investigate.
- Do not switch anything electrical on or off, and do not light a flame.
- From a safe distance, call your gas utility's emergency line, and 911 if needed.
- Then call a licensed plumber to locate, repair, and test the line.
- Do not turn the gas back on yourself until the line has been tested.
New runs and connections, sized and tested
Adding gas for a new appliance is common as Rockwall homes are remodeled and outdoor living spaces are built out, from ranges and tankless heaters to grills, fire features, and pool heaters. The work that makes it safe is invisible: sizing the line so the appliance actually gets the volume it needs, using approved pipe and fittings, supporting and protecting the run correctly, and pressure-testing it before the appliance is connected. A line that is undersized starves the appliance; a line that is not tested is a risk no one should carry.
Because gas work is permitted and inspected, you get an independent confirmation that the line is right, which is exactly what you want on something this consequential. If you are adding a gas tankless water heater or connecting a range during a plumbing installation, we handle the gas side to code as part of that work.
Smell gas? Leave the building first and call from outside. Gas work is never a DIY job.

Gas Line Installation & Repair in Rockwall: common questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building first. Do not switch anything electrical on or off, do not light a flame, and do not stay to investigate. From a safe distance outside, call your gas utility's emergency line, and 911 if the smell is strong. Once the immediate danger is handled, a licensed plumber can locate, repair, and test the line. Do not turn the gas back on yourself.
Is gas line work something a handyman can do?
No. Gas work in Texas is licensed, permitted, and inspected work for good reason, because a mistake is a safety hazard rather than an inconvenience. It has to be done by a licensed plumber, run in approved materials, and pressure-tested and inspected before it carries gas. That process is what keeps it safe, and it is not optional.
Can you run a new gas line for a range or outdoor kitchen?
Yes. We run new lines for ranges, water heaters, pool heaters, grills, fire features, and outdoor kitchens, which are increasingly common as Rockwall homes add outdoor living space. The line is sized for the appliance's demand, run in approved pipe, and pressure-tested and inspected before anything is connected.
Do I need a permit for gas work in Rockwall?
Yes. Gas line installation and repair are permitted and inspected work here, and that inspection is a safeguard, not a formality. It confirms the line holds pressure and meets the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) the city enforces before it is put into service. We handle the permit and the testing as part of the job.
How do you test a gas line after working on it?
The line is pressurized and monitored to confirm it holds without loss, which proves there are no leaks before it carries gas, and the work is inspected. Only after it passes that pressure test and inspection is the line put back into service. Testing every line we run or repair is standard, not an extra.
