Gas Line Repair & Installation — Done Safely, Done Right
Leak repair, new gas line installation, and appliance hookups throughout the Triad.
Gas Work Requires a Licensed Professional
Gas leaks are dangerous. Improper installation is dangerous. This isn’t work for handymen or DIY projects — it requires a licensed plumber who understands gas systems, pressure testing, and code requirements.
All-Star Plumbing handles gas line repair and installation throughout High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and the Triad. Whether you smell gas and need an emergency repair, or you’re adding a gas line for a new stove or dryer, we do it safely and to code.
According to the American Gas Association, natural gas serves more than 187 million Americans in over 76 million homes. It’s efficient and cost-effective — but only when installed and maintained properly.
Signs of a Gas Leak or Gas Line Problem
Gas leaks are serious. Know the warning signs.
Rotten Egg Smell
- What it means: Natural gas is odorless, but utility companies add mercaptan — a sulfur compound that smells like rotten eggs — so you can detect leaks.
- What to do: If the smell is strong, leave the house immediately. Don't flip light switches or use electronics. Call 911 or your gas company from outside. Once cleared, call us to repair the leak.
Hissing Sound Near Gas Line or Appliance
- What it means: Gas escaping from a pipe, fitting, or appliance connection.
- What to do: Don't ignore it. If you can safely turn off the gas at the appliance, do so. Call us to inspect and repair.
Dead or Dying Plants Near Gas Line
- What it means: Underground gas leak killing vegetation. Natural gas displaces oxygen in soil.
- What to do: Call your gas company to investigate. If confirmed, call us for repair.
Higher Than Normal Gas Bills
- What it means: Could indicate a leak in the system — you're paying for gas that's escaping, not being used.
- What to do: Call us to inspect your gas lines and connections.
Pilot Light Keeps Going Out
- What it means: Could be thermocouple issue, draft, or gas supply problem.
- What to do: If it happens repeatedly, have it inspected. Could be the appliance or the gas line.
Physical Symptoms (Headaches, Dizziness, Nausea)
- What it means: Possible gas exposure. Natural gas in high concentrations can cause these symptoms.
- What to do: Get fresh air immediately. If symptoms are severe or persist, seek medical attention. Have the home inspected before returning.
Gas Line Services We Provide
Gas Leak Detection & Repair
We locate gas leaks using specialized equipment and repair them properly. This includes leaks at fittings, valves, appliance connections, and in the line itself. All repairs are pressure tested before restoring gas service.
Gas Line Installation
Adding a gas stove, dryer, fireplace, outdoor grill, or generator? We run new gas lines from your existing supply to the new appliance location. Properly sized for the BTU demand, properly supported, and properly connected.
Gas Line Replacement
Older homes may have corroded, undersized, or outdated gas lines. We replace deteriorated sections or upgrade the entire system as needed.
Appliance Hookup & Disconnection
New gas appliance that needs connecting? Old one that needs disconnecting safely? We handle the gas connection properly — including the flexible connector, shut-off valve, and leak testing.
Gas Shut-Off Valve Installation
Every gas appliance should have an accessible shut-off valve. If yours doesn’t — or the valve is old and hard to operate — we install new ones.
Common Gas Line Projects
Here’s what homeowners typically call us for.
- Gas Line for New Stove/Range
Switching from electric to gas cooking? We run a new gas line to your kitchen and connect the range. Gas cooking provides instant heat control and is preferred by many home cooks.
- Gas Line for Dryer
Gas dryers are more efficient than electric and dry faster. If you’re switching or adding a gas dryer, we run the line and make the connection.
- Gas Line for Outdoor Grill
Tired of running out of propane? A natural gas line to your outdoor kitchen or grill means unlimited fuel. We run the line from your home’s gas supply to your outdoor cooking area.
- Gas Line for Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters often require larger gas lines than traditional tank heaters — they have higher BTU demands. We size and install the proper line to ensure adequate gas flow.
- Gas Line for Generator
Standby generators run on natural gas or propane. We connect them to your home’s gas supply so they start automatically during outages.
What’s involved: Running dedicated line to generator, proper sizing for generator demand.
Gas Line Safety & Code Compliance
Gas work isn’t something to cut corners on. Here’s how we approach it.
- Pressure Testing
Every gas line repair and installation is pressure tested before gas is turned on. We pressurize the line and monitor for drops — any pressure loss indicates a leak that must be fixed.
- Proper Materials
We use approved materials — black iron pipe, CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) where appropriate, and proper fittings. No substitutions, no shortcuts.
- Code Compliance
Gas line work must meet state and local codes. We understand the requirements and ensure our work passes inspection. Permits are pulled when required.
- Proper Sizing
Gas lines must be sized for the BTU demand of the appliances they serve. Undersized lines cause poor appliance performance. We calculate the load and size lines correctly.

Gas Line Questions
How much does gas line installation cost?
It depends on the length of the run, complexity, and what’s being connected. Simple appliance hookup with existing nearby line: a few hundred dollars. Running a new line across the house or outside: more. We quote before starting.
How much does gas leak repair cost?
Depends on the location and extent of the leak. Minor fitting repair is on the lower end. Replacing a section of corroded pipe costs more. We diagnose first and quote before repair.
Do you need a permit for gas line work?
Often, yes. New gas line installations typically require permits and inspections. Repairs may or may not depending on scope and local requirements. We handle permits when required.
Can I install a gas line myself?
We don’t recommend it. Gas work requires proper materials, techniques, and testing. Improper installation creates explosion and carbon monoxide risks. This is work for licensed professionals.
How do I know if I have a gas leak?
Rotten egg smell is the most common sign. Hissing sounds near gas lines, dead vegetation over buried lines, and unexplained high gas bills are other indicators. If you suspect a leak, call us to inspect.
What should I do if I smell gas?
If the smell is strong: leave the house immediately, don’t operate electrical switches or devices, and call 911 or your gas company from outside. Once cleared, call us to locate and repair the leak.
Can you convert my electric stove to gas?
Yes — if you have natural gas service to your home. We run a gas line to your kitchen, you purchase a gas range, and we connect it. You’ll also need the electric outlet capped.
