Gas Line Installation & Repair in Fort Collins, CO.
Gas line work isn't something to guess at. Fort Collins 24/7 Plumbing installs and repairs gas lines for appliances, fireplaces, and new construction across the service area, with every job pressure-tested before it's signed off as complete. Whether it's a new range that needs a properly sized line or an older line that needs evaluation before a new appliance gets connected, we handle it under the same licensed standard every time, with no shortcuts on testing.
Common Gas Line Calls We Get.
Most gas line calls fall into two categories: a new appliance or fireplace install that needs a properly sized line run to it, or an older line that's showing signs of corrosion or a suspected leak. Older homes in Fort Collins' historic neighborhoods sometimes have gas lines that predate current code and need evaluation before a new appliance can be safely connected. We treat both categories with the same level of care regardless of how routine the job might seem. The two problems are related closely enough that Commercial Plumbing is worth a look too.

How Gas Line Work Gets Verified.
Every gas line job, new or repaired, gets pressure-tested before being signed off, confirming there are no leaks anywhere along the line under real operating pressure. For a suspected leak, a technician uses a gas detector to pinpoint the exact location rather than guessing based on smell alone. This same testing standard applies whether the job is a small appliance connection or a full new-construction gas line run.

Ongoing Gas Line Safety.
Gas lines need very little ongoing maintenance once properly installed, but it's worth having any line inspected if you smell a faint odor even intermittently, rather than waiting for it to become constant. If you're planning any digging or landscaping work in your yard, it's worth having us mark the gas line's path first, since accidental strikes during unrelated yard work are a genuinely common cause of gas line damage. A quick call before you dig is far cheaper than an emergency repair afterward. If the cause turns out to be broader than expected, Plumbing Repair is usually the next relevant page.
Common Questions.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the area if the smell is strong, don't operate switches or open flames, and call us or your gas utility immediately.
Do you pressure-test every gas line job?
Yes, every new install and repair gets pressure-tested before we consider the job complete.
Can you run a gas line for a new outdoor fire feature?
Yes, that's a common request, and we'll size the line correctly for the feature's BTU rating.
Do you handle gas line work for a full kitchen remodel?
Yes, relocating or resizing a gas line for a range or cooktop move is a routine part of kitchen remodel plumbing.
