Safety

Smell gas? Do this first

If you smell gas right now, stop reading and get out. Do not flip a light switch, use an appliance or look for the leak first.

Leave the house with everyone in it, pets too.
Do not use switches, lighters or a phone inside.
From outside or from a neighbor's house, call 911 or your gas company. If you have propane, call your propane supplier's emergency line.
Once you are outside, call or text Ryan about the repair. Do not go back in until it has been cleared.

The full walk-through is on our page about what to do when you smell gas in your house.

Gas Work

What Ryan does with gas lines

Ryan is a licensed Master Plumber (Georgia license MPR108473). Gas piping is part of that work. He installs new gas lines, extends existing ones, repairs lines that leak or were done badly, and checks for gas leaks. It works the same for propane and for natural gas.

Most calls are one of these:

A gas range or cooktop going in where there was electric.
A gas dryer, which needs its own line to the laundry room.
A gas fireplace, fire feature or logs.
A gas water heater or a tankless unit that needs a bigger line. Our water heater service covers the heater itself.
A standby generator that has to be fed from your propane tank or gas meter. Read how a propane line for a standby generator works before you buy.
An old or damaged line that smells, hisses or was never finished.

Every job starts with a free estimate. There is no trip fee and no diagnostic fee, and you know the price before any work starts.

Planning a new gas appliance?

Text Ryan the appliance and a photo of the spot. He can tell you what the line job looks like before he drives out.

Warning Signs

Signs you need a gas line looked at

A rotten egg smell near an appliance, the meter or the tank. Gas companies add that smell on purpose so you can notice a leak.
A hissing sound near a gas pipe or fitting.
A pilot light that keeps going out, or a flame that burns yellow or orange instead of blue.
Dead grass or plants in a strip over a buried line in the yard.
A new appliance with no gas connection within reach.
A flex hose or fitting behind an appliance that is old, kinked or corroded.

The first four can mean a leak. If you smell gas, follow the steps at the top of this page. For the rest, call or text and describe what you see. A gas smell is never something to wait on.

Where Ryan Works

Gas in a North Georgia mountain home

Natural gas lines do not run up every mountain road. Many homes around Ellijay, Jasper, Blue Ridge and Blairsville cook, heat water and run generators on propane from a tank on the property. Others are on natural gas from a utility meter. Ryan works with both.

That changes the job. With propane, the line runs from the tank to the house, so the distance, the trench and the tank position all matter. With natural gas, the meter and the size of the line you already have decide whether a new appliance fits. Adding a range, a dryer and a generator to one line can ask more of it than it was built for, so the line size has to be checked before the work starts.

Rural lots also mean long runs, rocky ground and tanks that sit a good way from the house. Ryan is based in Ellijay and drives to homes across North Georgia. Many of those homes are in places where cell service drops, which is why he asks you to text: a text can reach him when a call does not.
