If you smell gas, do this first
Leave the house, do not flip switches or light anything, and call your gas utility’s emergency line or 911 from outside. The utility shuts the gas off at the meter at no charge. Then call us at 404-637-9017 to find and repair the leak and get the gas back on safely. A real person answers 24 hours a day.
Gas line work, done by a licensed master plumber
Gas piping is not a handyman job and it is not a do it yourself job. Performance Plumbing is licensed for gas work under Georgia master plumber license MP210684, based on Valley Street in Ball Ground, running Canton, Holly Springs, Woodstock, Waleska and the rest of Cherokee County every day. Every gas job we do is pressure tested before the gas goes back on, and permitted and inspected where the county requires it.
What we handle:
- Gas leak detection and repair, inside the house and on the yard line
- New gas lines and extensions for additions, outdoor kitchens and detached buildings
- Appliance hookups: gas ranges and cooktops, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, fireplaces and log sets
- Outdoor lines for grills, fire pits, patio heaters and pool heaters
- Standby generator gas lines
- Propane to natural gas conversions and propane tank lines
- Replacing old or corroded black iron and flexible lines
- Pressure testing and leak checks when you buy or sell a home
Leaks and repairs
Most gas leaks we find are at fittings and connections: a dryer or range flex line that was never tightened right, a corroded joint on an older black iron run in a crawl space, or a yard line nicked during landscaping. We locate the leak with a detector and a pressure test, repair or replace the section, and test the whole system before the meter goes back on. If the utility shut your gas off for a leak, the repair has to pass our pressure test, and often a county inspection, before they will relight it, and we handle that paperwork.
New lines and appliance hookups
A new gas range, a tankless water heater, a fire pit on the patio or a generator pad all need a line sized for the load, run and supported correctly, and tested. Undersized lines are the most common problem we find on jobs someone else did: the new tankless water heater starves when the furnace kicks on. We size the line for everything on the system, not just the new appliance. Outdoor runs are buried to code depth and sleeved where they cross hardscape. For additions and outbuildings we pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Tankless water heaters and gas
Going from a tank to a tankless water heater usually means a bigger gas line, because a tankless unit burns several times the gas of a tank while it is running. We handle the gas line and the water heater as one job, which is one reason Cherokee County homeowners call us for the conversion instead of splitting it between two companies.
Where we do gas line work
Cherokee County is home: Ball Ground, Canton, Holly Springs, Waleska, Woodstock, Hickory Flat and BridgeMill, from our shop on Valley Street in Ball Ground. We also run to Cumming on the Forsyth side, Jasper and Big Canoe in Pickens County, and Kennesaw. We do not run service routes to Atlanta, Dallas, Peachtree City or anywhere south of the metro, so if you are searching from there, a plumber closer to you will be faster.
