Natural gas is a fossil fuel, made up mostly of methane, delivered to homes and businesses through a network of underground pipelines. It powers furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, and other appliances. Because gas lines carry a combustible fuel under pressure, working on them requires licensed expertise and strict adherence to plumbing and fuel gas codes.
PPS Plumbing provides the full range of gas line services: new installations, pipe fitting, line extensions, replacements, appliance connections, leak detection, and repairs.
We evaluate your existing gas system (or the location for a new line), including gas company supply, pipe routing, and appliance requirements.
We determine pipe sizing, material, and routing, and pull any required permits.
Our technicians run, fit, extend, replace, or repair the line and connect appliances as needed.
Every line is pressure-tested before it's put into service to confirm there are no leaks.
Work is completed to code and ready for local inspection where required.
Gas line pricing depends on the scope of work. A single appliance connection is a different job than running a new line through an unfinished basement or extending service outdoors. We provide upfront pricing after assessing the specific job, with no surprise charges.

Licensed plumbers usually work on gas lines, though depending on the state or municipality, it may also fall under HVAC contractors or dedicated gas fitters. Many states require a specific gas fitting license or certification in addition to a general plumbing license. In Utah, licensed plumbers commonly handle gas line installation, repair, and appliance connections.
In most areas, no. It’s not safe or legal to. Gas line installation almost always requires a permit, and the work has to be done (or at least inspected) by a licensed professional to pass code. Beyond the legal side, incorrect pipe sizing, bad joints, or improper venting on a gas line can cause leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Yes. Licensed plumbers are one of the primary trades that install, extend, repair, and connect gas lines. This includes running new lines and hooking up appliances like ranges, dryers, water heaters, and fireplaces. That said, licensing requirements vary by state, so it’s worth confirming a given plumber holds the specific gas fitting credential required in your area.
Black iron pipe is a rigid steel pipe threaded together at joints; it’s been used for gas lines for decades. CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is a flexible pipe that can be run through walls and floors with fewer joints, often speeding up installation. Both are code-approved when installed correctly. The right choice depends on the application.
Common signs include a rotten-egg smell near a gas line or appliance, a hissing sound near a pipe or fitting, dead or discolored vegetation over a buried gas line, or an unusually high gas bill. If you suspect a leak, leave the area immediately, avoid switches or open flames, and call your gas utility and a licensed plumber.
