If you smell gas — act now

  1. Leave the house — don't light anything or smoke.
  2. Don't touch switches, plugs, or phones inside (sparks ignite gas).
  3. Call NW Natural or 911 from outside to report the leak.
  4. Then call (971) 399-8934 — we locate and repair once it's safe.

A rotten-egg odor, hissing near a line, or a dead patch of grass over a buried line are all warning signs.

Find it, fix it, prove it

Gas leak detection & repair

We confirm and locate gas leaks with electronic detectors and a pressure test that isolates the system — so we know whether the leak is at a fitting, a length of pipe, or an appliance connection before we open anything.

Then we repair the exact spot, re-test the whole system to verify it holds, and document it under permit and inspection. No "probably fine" — gas work is verified leak-free or it isn't done.

Older Portland homes often have aging black-iron lines, corroded fittings, or past DIY work that doesn't meet code — all of which we bring back to standard.

Why gas work needs a licensed plumber

Gas piping isn't a DIY or handyman job — in Oregon it must be installed and repaired by a licensed contractor under permit and inspection. The reasons are simple: an undersized line starves appliances, a bad fitting leaks, and an unbonded CSST run is a lightning hazard.

We size every line for the appliance's BTU demand, use the right material (black iron or properly bonded CSST), pressure-test the system, and pull the permit so the work is inspected and documented.

  • Correctly sized for total appliance load
  • Proper material, bonding, and protection
  • Pressure-tested and verified leak-free
  • Permitted and inspected to Oregon code

Signs of a gas line problem

  • A rotten-egg or sulfur smell
  • Hissing near a line or appliance
  • A dead patch of grass over a buried line
  • Higher-than-normal gas bills
  • Appliances that won't stay lit or burn weakly
  • Physical symptoms (dizziness, nausea) that ease outdoors

If you suspect a leak, evacuate and call your utility first — then call us.

Safety first, always

If you smell gas, the order matters: get out, don't touch anything electrical, and call your utility or 911 from outside before anything else. Once the gas is shut and the area is safe, we locate and repair the line so service can be restored properly — not patched.

Verified, not assumed

Every gas job we do is pressure-tested and inspected. With gas, "looks fine" isn't good enough — the system either holds pressure with zero loss or it's not finished. That standard is what keeps your family and home safe.

Gas work we handle

Licensed for the full range of residential gas piping across the metro:

  • Gas leak detection and repair at pipe, fittings, and appliances
  • New lines for ranges, dryers, furnaces, and water heaters
  • Fireplaces, inserts, BBQs, fire pits, and pool/spa heaters
  • Standby generator gas supply
  • Black iron and bonded CSST, sized to load

Why aging Portland gas piping fails

Many older homes have black-iron gas lines with corroded threads, undersized runs that can't feed a modern range or tankless unit, or past unpermitted work that never met code. We bring it all up to standard — correctly sized, properly bonded, pressure-tested, and inspected.

A gas issue can't wait for business hours, which is why a live dispatcher answers around the clock. For an active leak, your utility shuts the gas; then we locate and repair the line so it can be safely turned back on — at the same flat rate, day or night.

Every repair and installation is performed by an Oregon-licensed, background-checked plumber, pressure-tested, and permitted — no after-hours surcharge, and the paperwork to prove the work was done right.

Gas Lines, Answered

More gas line questions in Portland

Can a gas leak make you sick?

Yes. A natural gas leak can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and trouble breathing, and in an enclosed space it displaces oxygen and becomes an explosion risk. If symptoms ease when you step outside, treat it as a possible leak: leave the house, call NW Natural or 911 from outside, and don't touch switches or anything that could spark. A separate hazard is carbon monoxide from a poorly venting gas appliance — every home with gas should have working CO detectors.

Why might I need a bigger gas line for a new appliance?

Gas lines are sized to deliver a specific volume, measured in BTUs, and high-demand appliances can outstrip an older line. A tankless water heater, a commercial-style range, or adding several appliances on one line can starve them of gas — causing weak flames, pilot problems, or short cycling. We calculate the total BTU load and upsize the line or meter where needed so every appliance runs correctly and safely.

How long do gas lines last?

Black iron gas pipe can last for decades, but it isn't permanent — threaded joints corrode, exterior sections rust, and older or DIY-modified runs may not meet current code. Flexible CSST is durable but must be properly bonded and protected. During any gas work we inspect the existing piping, pressure-test the system, and flag sections that are corroded or improperly installed before they become a leak.

Can you run a gas line for an outdoor BBQ or fire pit?

Yes — outdoor gas lines for grills, fire pits, patio heaters, and outdoor kitchens are a popular project. A dedicated line means never swapping propane tanks again. We size the line for the appliance, route it safely, use materials rated for outdoor and buried use, and pressure-test and permit the work just like any indoor gas line. See our commercial page for restaurant and patio installs.

Is flexible CSST gas piping safe?

Yes, when it's installed correctly. CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is widely used and code-approved, but it must be properly bonded and grounded to protect against damage from a nearby lightning strike, and routed where it won't be abraded. We install CSST to manufacturer and code requirements — including the bonding many older or amateur installations miss — and can inspect existing CSST if you're unsure yours was done right.

FAQ

Gas line questions

Leak, new line, or appliance hookup? Call any hour — and for a leak, call your utility first.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the house right away without touching light switches, electronics, or phones — anything that could spark. From outside, call your gas utility's emergency line (NW Natural) or 911 to report it. Once the area is safe, call us to locate and repair the line.

Are you licensed to work on gas lines in Oregon?

Yes. Gas piping must be installed and repaired by a licensed contractor under permit and inspection in Oregon, and we're a licensed Oregon plumbing contractor experienced with black iron, CSST, and appliance connections.

How do you find a gas leak?

We use electronic gas detectors and a pressure test that isolates the system to confirm and locate the leak — telling us whether it's at a fitting, a section of pipe, or an appliance connection, so we repair exactly the right spot.

Can you install a gas line for a new appliance?

Yes — ranges and cooktops, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, fireplaces and inserts, outdoor BBQs and fire pits, pool and spa heaters, and standby generators. Sized correctly, pressure-tested, permitted, and inspected.

What gas piping materials do you use?

Traditional black iron pipe and flexible CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing), choosing the right one for the run, with proper bonding and protection. We also repair and replace failing or improperly installed gas piping.

How much does gas line repair or installation cost in Portland?

A gas leak repair typically runs $250–$800 depending on access and location. A new appliance gas line runs roughly $400–$2,000+ depending on distance, material, and finishes. We quote a flat rate before work, with no after-hours surcharge.

Do you pressure-test and permit gas work?

Always. Every gas repair and installation is pressure-tested to verify no leaks, permitted, and inspected per Oregon code — both a safety requirement and your documentation that the work was done right.

Can you respond to a gas issue at night?

Yes — a live dispatcher answers 24/7. For an active gas smell, evacuate and call your utility or 911 first; then call us to locate and repair. We keep licensed plumbers on call, at the same flat rate with no after-hours surcharge.
