Gas Line Service From Our Shop Right Here in East Canton

What to Do the Moment You Smell Gas

Gas leaks are the one plumbing problem where the first call should not be to a plumber. If the odor is strong, safety comes first, and the utility is set up to respond to leaks and shut off service. Here is the order we recommend:

• Get everyone, including pets, out of the house. Leave the door open behind you.
• Do not flip light switches, unplug anything, light a match or use a phone indoors.
• Do not start a car parked in an attached garage.
• Once you are well away from the house, call the gas utility or 911.
• Stay out until the utility or fire department says it is safe.
• Call us to locate and repair the leak on the house side of the meter.

After the Utility Leaves

When a utility responds to a leak, they usually shut off the meter and may tag it or the affected appliance. The gas stays off until the problem is repaired and tested. That is where we come in.

We find the source with leak detection equipment, repair or replace the failed pipe, valve or connector, and then pressure test the system to confirm it is tight. After that, service can be restored according to the utility's process, and we relight pilots and check that your furnace, water heater and other appliances are running properly. Please do not turn a tagged meter back on yourself.

Village Homes and Township Properties

East Canton's village streets are lined with older homes, many with basements and piping that has been added to over the years. Out in the township, properties are more spread out, and some have natural gas while others run on propane. Farm buildings, detached garages and workshops often need their own gas line, which usually means a buried run from the house.

We see a wide range of jobs close to home:

In town

Leaking valves and unions, rusted pipe in damp basements, outdated brass connectors, and new lines for ranges and dryers.

Out in the township

Underground lines to garages and outbuildings, gas unit heaters for shops, and help deciding between natural gas and propane. For tank-fed systems, see our East Canton propane line service.

New Gas Lines and Appliance Hookups

Adding a gas appliance starts with a quick look at your existing piping and meter. We figure out whether the current lines can carry the extra load, plan a protected route, and install a shutoff and sediment trap at the new appliance. Common requests include gas ranges, dryers and fireplace inserts. If a new heater is part of the plan, our gas water heater installation work covers it.

Everything we install is tested before it goes into service. For a fuller explanation of materials and sizing, see our Stark County gas line overview.
