If You Smell Gas: Leave Home, Call 911, Then Call Us

Natural gas contains mercaptan, which smells like rotten eggs. If you detect this odor: Leave immediately, do NOT use lights or phones inside, call 911 from outside, and only re-enter once cleared by authorities. Then call Pro Plumber Georgetown at (737) 252-6326 for expert leak repair.

Gas Leak Safety: Know the Dangers

Natural gas (methane) is naturally odorless. Gas utilities add mercaptan, a pungent chemical, to make leaks detectable. It smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. Most people recognize it immediately.

If you smell natural gas, do NOT:
• Turn on lights or appliances (electrical spark can ignite gas)
• Use your phone inside the home (static discharge risk)
• Light a match or candle
• Start your car in the garage
• Try to locate the leak yourself

DO:
1. Leave the home immediately
2. Call 911 from outside or from a neighbor's phone
3. Do NOT re-enter until authorities clear the scene
4. Call Pro Plumber Georgetown at (737) 252-6326 after authorities are done

Fire/police will verify the leak is not dangerous (gas dissipates quickly in open air). Once cleared, we locate and repair the leak.

Common Gas Leak Symptoms:
• Rotten egg smell (mercaptan odor)
• Hissing sound from a pipe or appliance
• Dead vegetation around a gas line (gas can kill plants)
• Visible cracks or corrosion on metal pipes
• Bubbles in soapy water on a gas line (escaping gas)
• Unexplained higher gas bills
• Pilot light on appliances won't stay lit (gas supply issue)

Health Symptoms of Gas Exposure (If Exposure Is Prolonged):
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea or fatigue
• Chest pain
• Throat irritation

Note: Small leaks don't typically cause health symptoms quickly, but accumulation over hours can be dangerous. If you smell gas, evacuate and report immediately.

When to Call for Gas Line Repair

Don't wait — gas line issues can be dangerous. Call us if you notice any of these warning signs.

Suspected Gas Leak

Smell mercaptan (rotten egg smell), hear hissing, or suspect a leak. This is URGENT. Evacuate and call 911, then call us.

Pilot Light Issues

Your water heater, fireplace, or stove pilot light won't stay lit. Could indicate a gas pressure issue, a failed thermocouple, or a gas supply leak.

Visible Corrosion on Gas Lines

Metal gas pipes corrode over time (galvanized steel is especially vulnerable in Georgetown's hard water environment). Corrosion can lead to leaks.

Low Gas Pressure

Your gas stove doesn't heat efficiently, or the water heater takes forever to heat water. Could indicate a leak or a faulty regulator.

Upgrading to Tankless Water Heater

Gas tankless units require proper gas line sizing and a professional hookup. Undersized lines reduce performance.

Installing Outdoor Gas Features

Outdoor kitchen, fire pit, grill, heater, or generator requires gas line extension from the meter. This requires permitting and certification.

Our Gas Leak Detection & Repair Process

We follow a proven 7-step process to ensure your gas line is safe and compliant.

Emergency Response

You call 911 first. Once firefighters/police clear the scene and confirm it's safe, you call us. We respond 24/7 for suspected leaks.

Inspection & Detection

We arrive with specialized gas leak detection equipment: combustible gas detector, soapy water solution, pressure test equipment, and odorant sensors. We methodically inspect all visible gas lines, connections, meter, and regulator.

Locate the Leak

Once we narrow down the location, we identify exactly where gas is escaping.

Repair the Leak

Depending on the cause: tighten a loose connection, replace a corroded fitting or section of pipe, replace the regulator, or reroute the line if damaged.

Pressure Test & Certification

After repair, we pressure-test the entire line to confirm no leaks remain, gas pressure is correct, and the system is safe to use.

City Inspection & Permits

For significant repairs or new installations, we obtain permits from the City of Georgetown and arrange inspections. We handle all paperwork and coordination.

Documentation

We provide detailed invoice, pressure test results, permit/inspection paperwork, and certificate of compliance.

Gas line installation for outdoor kitchen and fire pit Georgetown TX

Gas Line Installation for New Appliances & Outdoor Features

Whether you're upgrading to a tankless water heater, adding an outdoor kitchen, or installing a whole-home generator, proper gas line installation is critical for safety and performance.

Tankless Water Heater Installation
Many Georgetown homeowners upgrade to tankless systems. Gas tankless requires proper line sizing. We assess current gas line capacity, run new lines from the meter if needed, connect the tankless unit with proper fittings, pressure-test, and certify. Cost: $500–$2,000 depending on distance and complexity.

Outdoor Gas Features (Kitchen, Fire Pit, Grill, Heater)
Growing trend in Georgetown: outdoor living spaces with gas features. We assess location and distance from meter, run new gas lines underground or along exterior, install outdoor regulator/shutoff valve, connect appliances, and pressure-test. Cost: $1,000–$3,000+ depending on distance and features.

Whole-Home Generator
Backup generators require gas lines if not propane-powered. We assess generator location, run gas line from meter to generator, install proper shutoff and regulator, connect generator, and coordinate with electrician. Cost: $1,500–$4,000+ depending on line length.

Furnace or Dryer Installation
Relocating or replacing gas furnaces or dryers requires proper gas line hookup. Cost: $200–$800 depending on complexity.

Gas Service Providers & Georgetown Specifics

Atmos Energy: Georgetown's Gas Provider
Most Georgetown homes receive natural gas from Atmos Energy. We work closely with Atmos for inspections, meter work, and coordination. We know their requirements and codes.

Hard Water & Pipe Corrosion
Georgetown's hard water (limestone-rich) accelerates corrosion of galvanized steel gas pipes. Iron oxide buildup (rust) can clog or damage fittings. If your home is 30+ years old with galvanized gas lines, we recommend inspection for corrosion.

Gas Line Sizing for Tankless & Modern Appliances
Newer, higher-demand appliances (tankless water heaters, large furnaces, outdoor gas kitchens) need properly sized lines. Undersized lines result in low pressure and poor performance. We size lines correctly during installation.

Permits & City of Georgetown Requirements
Gas line work requires permits from the City of Georgetown. We obtain them and coordinate inspections. Improper work can void insurance coverage, so proper permitting is critical.

Outdoor Living Trend
Georgetown homeowners increasingly build outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and entertaining spaces. Gas lines for these features must be properly installed and certified. We handle the full project.

Gas Line FAQs

Leave your home immediately. Do not turn on lights, use appliances, or light a match. Call 911 from outside or a neighbor's phone. Once firefighters clear the scene, call Pro Plumber Georgetown at (737) 252-6326 to locate and repair the leak.
Natural gas itself is odorless. Gas companies add mercaptan (rotten egg smell) to make leaks obvious. However, if a leak is very small or if your sense of smell is impaired, you might not detect it. That's why we use electronic detection equipment during inspections.
For older Georgetown homes (40+ years) with galvanized steel lines, we recommend every 2–3 years due to corrosion risk. For newer homes or homes with known good lines, every 5 years. If you have concerns or suspect a leak, call us for inspection.
Copper can be used but is less common (corrosion risk in hard water areas). Steel (black iron) is standard for main gas lines. Yellow or orange flexible tubing is sometimes used for appliance connections. We use code-approved materials for all installations.
Simple appliance hookup: 1–2 hours. Running a new line 50+ feet: 4–8 hours or longer depending on obstacles. We provide a timeline estimate during the consultation.
Yes. Any gas line repair or installation requires City of Georgetown permits and inspection. Unpermitted gas work can void insurance coverage and create safety/legal liability. We handle all permitting to ensure compliance.
