Gas Piping Work
Gas Pipe Installed, Tested and Repaired Correctly
Gas feeds the water heater, furnace, range, dryer, fireplace and backyard grill. Piped correctly it stays out of sight and out of mind; piped badly, it becomes a hazard.
Whether you are adding an appliance, swapping out old pipe or chasing a suspected leak, confirm the plumber’s license with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners first.
Highland Village Plumbing provides gas line installation and repair in Highland Village, TX, with attention to pipe sizing, pressure testing and local code.
This is not a do-it-yourself project. Gas work calls for training, a permit where the city requires one, a pressure test and strict safety steps, and a mistake can put the whole household at risk long after the job looks finished.

Gas Line Questions
Is a permit needed for new gas piping?
Usually, and the city can say for sure. A generator permit, for instance, asks for the gas meter size and a one-line diagram of the new gas run.
