If you smell gas, leave the house first. Do not flip switches, start a car in an attached garage, or use a phone inside. Once you are outside, call your gas utility or 911. The utility can shut off service and check for leaks. After that, a qualified plumber can find and repair the problem in the home's gas piping.
Gas line work also includes jobs that are not emergencies: running a line for a new range, dryer, water heater, fireplace, outdoor grill, or generator, replacing old flexible connectors, or repairing piping damaged during a remodel. In many areas this work requires a permit and must be done by someone licensed for gas work, so it is not a do-it-yourself job.
Haygood Plumbing connects you with an independent plumber in Dracut, MA who handles gas piping. The plumber who takes your job will typically locate the problem, repair or replace the affected section, and pressure test the system before the gas is turned back on. For new lines, they will size the pipe for the appliances it needs to serve.
Not every plumber does gas work, so when you call, tell us clearly that the job involves gas so we can look for a plumber who takes it on. Mention which appliances are involved, whether the utility has shut off service, and whether the line is inside or outdoors.
Ask the plumber for their license number for gas work, whether a permit and inspection are required in Dracut, MA, and whether the utility needs to be involved to restore service.
