Gas work is not a place to cut corners. A gas line runs fuel under pressure through your home, and a bad joint or an undersized run isn't just an inefficiency — it's a safety problem. This is licensed, permitted, pressure-tested work, and that's exactly how we do it.
Most gas calls fall into two buckets. The first is running a new line: a gas range in a kitchen that only had electric, a dryer, a garage heater, a pool heater, a standby generator, or a line out to the patio for a grill. The second is service and safety: repairing an aging line, tracking down a suspected leak, or bringing an older setup up to current code.
Sizing is where a lot of amateur work goes wrong. A line has to deliver enough volume for the appliance at the far end, and this matters even more with high-demand equipment like a tankless water heater or a whole-house generator. Undersize it and the appliance starves.
If you ever smell that rotten-egg odor, leave the house and call the gas utility first, then call us. For planned work, we pull the proper permits and test every line before it's put into service.
When you need a gas line pro
The smell of rotten eggs
That odor is the warning agent added to natural gas, and it means a leak. Leave the house, avoid switches and flames, and call the gas utility first — then call us to find and fix it.
Adding a gas appliance
A new range, dryer, garage heater, or pool heater needs its own properly sized line and shut-off. This is planned, permitted work, not something to improvise with a flex kit.
Installing a standby generator
A whole-house generator draws a lot of gas. It needs a line sized for that peak demand alongside your other appliances, or it won't run right when you need it during an outage.
A hissing sound or dead vegetation outside
A hiss near a gas line or a patch of dead grass over a buried line can signal an outdoor leak. Treat it seriously and get it checked rather than waiting to see if it worsens.
An old or corroded gas line
Aging black iron can corrode, and older installations may not meet current code. If you're renovating or noticing problems, it's worth having the system inspected and updated.

How we handle gas line work
- 1
We plan and size the line
We calculate the gas demand of the appliance and the total load on the system, then size the pipe so every appliance gets the volume it needs at proper pressure.
- 2
We pull the permit
Gas work is permitted and inspected for good reason. We handle the permit through the city or township and schedule the inspection so the job is fully to code and on record.
- 3
We run and connect the line
We install the line with quality materials and a dedicated shut-off at the appliance, routing it safely and securing it properly, whether it's a short kitchen run or a line out to a generator.
- 4
We pressure-test for leaks
Before any gas flows, we pressure-test the new line and check every joint. Nothing goes into service until it holds and passes. This is the step that keeps your home safe.
- 5
We connect, verify, and pass inspection
We connect the appliance, confirm it runs correctly, and see the work through inspection. You get a safe, permitted installation backed by our workmanship guarantee.
What Affects the Cost
Gas line pricing depends on the run and the load, not a flat menu. A short range line and a buried run to a generator are worlds apart. Here's what determines your written quote — always after we've scoped it.
- The length and routing of the new or repaired line
- The appliance's gas demand and required pipe size
- Pipe material and whether it runs indoors, underground, or both
- The total load on the system and any needed upsizing
- Permit and inspection fees through the city or township
- Access, including opening walls or trenching to reach the route
- Adding shut-off valves and connecting the appliance
We always give you a written, upfront price before any work begins — no surprises. Call (207) 419-2600 for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
I smell gas. What should I do right now?
Leave the house immediately, don't flip switches or light anything, and call the gas utility from outside. Once they've made it safe, call us to locate and repair the source of the leak.
Do I need a permit to add a gas line?
Yes. Gas work requires a permit and inspection through the City of Flushing or your township. We pull it and handle the inspection, so your installation is legal, safe, and on record.
Can you run a line for my generator or patio grill?
We do both. A standby generator needs a line sized for its heavy demand, and a grill or patio line is a common add. We size and route each one correctly for the appliance it serves.
Why does my new appliance seem starved for gas?
Usually the line feeding it is undersized for its demand, especially with high-draw equipment like a tankless heater. We check the sizing and correct the run so the appliance gets full volume.
Do I need a permit to add a gas line?
Yes — new gas lines and most extensions require a permit and inspection, and for good reason. We handle the permit through the City of Flushing or your township and pressure-test the line so you know it's safe and up to Michigan code.
I think I smell gas — what should I do?
Treat it as an emergency: don't flip switches or light anything, get everyone out of the house, and call 911 or your gas utility first. Once you're safe, call us and we'll locate the leak and make a proper repair.
