How the Job Works
Total the gas load
We add up every gas appliance so the pipe is sized to feed them all.
Plan the route
We map the shortest safe path through the crawl space, attic or wall to the appliance.
Run and connect the pipe
We install the pipe, add a shut-off at the appliance and seal every joint.
Pressure test and light
We pressure test the line for leaks, then light the appliance and check the flame.
What Affects the Price
| Length of the run | Longer runs from the main line take more pipe and labor. |
|---|---|
| Access | Open crawl spaces are simpler than finished walls or ceilings. |
| Pipe size | High-demand appliances like tankless heaters need larger pipe. |
| Distance to Charlotte | About 33 miles from our Landis base, roughly 45 minutes south on I-85. |
Gas Lines Questions from Charlotte
Yes. Commercial cooking equipment often needs more gas than a home range, so the line must be sized for the full load. We check your existing pipe and meter capacity, run the new line, pressure test it and handle the permit through Mecklenburg County.

Signs include a rotten egg smell, a hissing sound near a pipe, or dead grass along a buried line. If you notice any of these, leave the house and call your gas company from outside. Do not try to find the leak yourself. A plumber repairs the line once the gas company makes it safe.
