Gas Line Repair in New Britain, CT

Smell gas? Your first job is getting everyone outside. Don't flip switches, use the phone indoors or try to find the leak yourself. Call 911 or your gas company's emergency line once you're outside. After the utility has made things safe, we fix whatever is leaking downstream of the meter.

Gas Piping Repairs

In an older New Britain house the gas piping may be a mix of original black iron and newer additions put in as appliances changed over the decades. Threaded joints can loosen, old valves can seep, and pipe in a damp basement can rust. We test the system, locate the leak and replace what is failing, then confirm the whole system holds pressure.

• Leak testing and repair on interior and exterior gas piping
• Replacing rusted pipe, leaking unions and worn shutoff valves
• New flexible connectors for ranges, dryers and water heaters
• Sediment traps and drip legs where appliances need them

New Gas Lines

Many Connecticut homes that once heated with oil have switched to natural gas, and each change adds load to the piping. A new boiler, furnace or tankless water heater, a gas range in a remodeled kitchen, a dryer or a standby generator each needs a line that can deliver enough gas while everything else is running.

• Boiler and furnace gas piping
• Gas range and cooktop lines for kitchen remodels
• Dryer hookups
• Standby generator lines
• Larger supply lines for water heater upgrades

Permits and Safety

Gas work generally requires a permit and inspection through the local building department, and any outdoor trenching starts with an 811 call so buried lines get marked. In multi-family buildings we coordinate shutoffs so the other units are without gas for as little time as possible.
