If you smell gas: leave first, call 911, then call us
Gas Line Repair & Installation in Katy, TX
Gas work is not a handyman job — Texas law requires a licensed plumber or gas fitter, and for good reason. Every job we do is permitted, pressure-tested and inspection-ready.
Safety and code compliance come first
All gas line work in Texas must comply with the Texas Plumbing License Law and local municipal codes — proper permitting, pressure testing after installation or repair, and inspection sign-off where required. We handle the permitting process and ensure every job passes inspection, protecting your home, your insurance coverage, and your family's safety. We never cut corners or skip steps to save time.
Buying a home in Katy or Cypress? We offer pre-purchase gas line inspections to identify potential issues before they become your problem after closing.
What to do if you suspect a leak
Do not use light switches, open flames, or any electrical devices. Exit the building immediately, move a safe distance away, and call 911 — then call us at (281) 601-1513 once you are safely outside. We respond to gas emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Natural gas is colorless and nearly odorless on its own; utilities add mercaptan to give it the 'rotten egg' smell precisely so leaks can be caught. Even a faint smell warrants immediate action.

281-601-1513What should I do if I smell gas in my house?
Leave immediately. Don't flip light switches, use open flames, or touch electrical devices. Move a safe distance away, call 911, and then call us at (281) 601-1513 from outside. We respond to gas emergencies 24/7.
Can a handyman legally repair a gas line in Texas?
No. Texas law requires gas piping to be installed and repaired by a licensed plumber or gas fitter, with proper permitting, pressure testing and inspection sign-off. Unlicensed gas work risks your safety and can void insurance coverage.
Can you run a gas line for my grill or generator?
Yes — new line installation for ranges, dryers, outdoor grills, fire pits, generators and pool heaters is routine work for us, done to code with a pressure test before handoff.
How do you find an underground gas leak?
Pressure testing plus electronic leak detection locates leaks accurately without unnecessary digging — including buried line leaks that show up as dead vegetation or bubbling in standing water.
Do you offer gas line inspections before a home purchase?
Yes. A pre-purchase inspection with pressure testing identifies corroded pipe, faulty valves and code issues before closing — much cheaper to know beforehand.
