Gas Line FAQs
We don't recommend homeowners install gas lines themselves. In Highlands Ranch and throughout Colorado, gas line installation requires permits and must comply with strict local building codes. Most municipalities require licensed professionals with proper certification to perform this work.
Gas line installation involves specialized knowledge of pressure requirements, proper materials, and safety protocols. Improper installation can lead to dangerous gas leaks, which pose serious fire and explosion hazards. Additionally, DIY gas work may invalidate your homeowner's insurance and create liability issues.
At Southside Plumbing, our technicians are fully licensed, insured, and experienced in safely installing gas lines for all applications. We handle the entire process, including obtaining permits, performing the installation to code, and coordinating with inspection authorities. This ensures your gas system is safe, legal, and reliable. For your family's safety and peace of mind, we strongly recommend leaving gas line installation to qualified professionals.
We recommend several practices to maintain your gas lines properly. First, schedule regular professional inspections—we suggest annual checks to detect potential issues before they become hazardous. Our technicians can test for leaks, inspect connections, and verify proper pressure levels.
Watch for warning signs between inspections. These include the smell of rotten eggs (from the added odorant), hissing sounds near gas lines, or unexplained increases in your gas bill. If you notice dying vegetation above buried gas lines, this may indicate a leak.
Keep gas meters and exposed pipes clean and free from debris. Avoid storing flammable materials near gas lines or appliances. Ensure all gas appliances are properly maintained according to manufacturer guidelines.
Never attempt to move, modify, or repair gas lines yourself. If you're planning renovations or landscaping, know the location of your gas lines to avoid accidental damage. At Southside Plumbing, we can help map your system and provide guidance on safe practices to maintain your gas lines in optimal condition.
Yes, gas lines can be repaired, but this work should only be performed by licensed professionals. At Southside Plumbing, we have the expertise to safely repair various gas line issues throughout Highlands Ranch homes.
The repair approach depends on the nature and location of the problem. Small leaks at connection points might require simple tightening or replacement of fittings. Sections of damaged pipe often need to be cut out and replaced with new material that meets current code requirements. For older systems, we may recommend more extensive replacements to ensure safety and compliance.
If you suspect a gas leak, immediately turn off your gas at the meter if it's safe to do so, evacuate your home, and call your gas company from a safe location. Once the immediate danger is addressed, we can assess the damage and make necessary repairs.
We handle all aspects of gas line repair, including proper permitting and post-repair inspection. Our work ensures your system operates safely and efficiently. Remember, even minor gas line repairs should never be attempted without professional training and certification.
Gas Lines Are A Matter Of Comfort & Safety
A leaking gas line is no joke. As carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, it can be a silent killer. If you think you’ve got a leaking gas line on your hands because you hear hissing, smell a strange odor, or notice broken gas lines, it’s safest to evacuate your home before calling a certified technician for gas line repair.
Here are some signs you need to call for repair of your gas lines:

- Rust, corrosion or water damage
- Gas lines more than two decades old
