Gas work is not a DIY project and not a job for a generalist handyman. A gas leak is a life-safety issue, and every line we install or repair is permitted, pressure-tested, and inspected. If you smell gas, leave the home first and call from outside — then call us.
We run and repair gas lines for water heaters, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, generators, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens and grills. Whether you are adding a gas cooktop during a remodel or chasing down a suspected leak, our licensed plumbers size the line correctly, install to Michigan code, and verify it holds before we leave.
New line, repair, or a leak check?
Gas work is not a DIY project. Every line we install or repair is sized, permitted, installed to code, and pressure-tested before it goes into service.
Smell gas? Leave first. If you smell gas, leave the home immediately — don't flip switches, light anything, or use your phone inside. Call your gas utility and us from outside.
New gas line
A properly sized, permitted line for a range, dryer, standby generator, pool heater, or outdoor grill and kitchen.
Best for: Adding or relocating a gas appliance
Repair or replace piping
Corroded or aging gas piping evaluated and, where needed, replaced before it becomes a hazard.
Best for: Old, corroded, or damaged gas lines
Leak detection & test
For a suspected leak or a pilot that will not stay lit, we locate the source with detection equipment and pressure-test the system.
Best for: A gas odor or persistent pilot problems
How we do gas work safely

When to call us for gas line service
You smell gas
A rotten-egg odor means leave the home, avoid switches and flames, and call us and your utility from outside.
Adding a gas appliance
A new range, dryer, generator, pool heater, or outdoor grill needs a properly sized, permitted gas line.
A pilot that will not stay lit
Persistent pilot or supply problems can indicate a gas-delivery or line issue worth inspecting.
Corroded or old piping
Aging or corroded gas piping should be evaluated and, where needed, replaced before it becomes a hazard.
