We take safety seriously, explain every step, and give you upfront pricing before the work begins.

If You Smell Gas, Act First

Your safety comes before any repair. If you smell gas, hear hissing near a gas line, or suspect a leak:

• Leave the building right away and keep others away
• Do not flip light switches, use phones, or operate anything that could spark indoors
• Do not try to locate the leak yourself
• Once you are safely outside, call your gas utility or propane supplier and 911
• After the area has been made safe, call us to repair the line

Our team offers 24/7 emergency service, so you do not have to wait until business hours to get the repair completed once the immediate danger is handled. Learn more about our emergency plumbing services.

Signs of a Gas Line Problem

Not every gas issue is dramatic. Watch for these warning signs:

• A rotten-egg or sulfur smell near appliances, the meter, or outdoor lines
• Hissing or whistling sounds near gas piping
• Dead or yellowed patches of grass along a buried gas line
• Bubbles in standing water or wet soil over the line
• Gas appliances with weak, yellow, or flickering flames
• Unexplained increases in your gas or propane bill
• Corroded or damaged piping and fittings

One local note: some Marion County well water has a natural sulfur smell. If the odor is only at the tap, it is likely your water, not gas. If it is in the air near appliances, treat it as a possible gas leak.

Why Gas Line Work Needs a Professional

Gas piping must be sized correctly for every appliance it serves, joined with the right materials, supported properly, and tested before it is put back into service. A line that is too small can starve appliances and cause poor combustion. A bad joint can leak slowly for months. That is why we never recommend do-it-yourself gas work.

Ocala's conditions add a few considerations. Older homes in the historic districts may still have aging steel piping that has corroded over the decades. Outdoor lines and meters can be affected by settling soil in karst areas. And many newer homes in the SR 200 corridor are adding gas appliances or upgrading to tankless water heaters, which often need a larger supply line. We evaluate each situation and recommend repairs that fit your home and appliances.

Storm season is another reason to keep gas piping in good shape. More Ocala households are adding standby generators to ride out summer storms and power outages, and those generators need a properly sized, well-supported gas or propane supply to start reliably when the lights go out. We can inspect the existing line, confirm it can handle the added load, and make the connection so your generator is ready when you need it.

Our Gas Line Repair Process

• Safety check. We confirm the area is safe and the gas supply is shut off as needed.
• Locate the problem. We use leak detection tools and pressure testing to pinpoint the issue.
• Explain your options. We describe the repair in plain language and provide upfront pricing.
• Complete the repair. We replace or repair the affected section with proper materials and fittings.
• Test and restore. We pressure test the line, restore service, relight pilots, and check appliance operation.

Larger replacement projects may qualify for financing.

Gas Line FAQs

Do you work on propane lines?

Yes. Many rural Marion County homes use propane, and we repair and install propane piping to appliances. Your propane supplier handles the tank itself.

Can you run a gas line for a new range or outdoor kitchen?

Yes. We size and install new lines for kitchen appliances, grills, fire features, and pool heaters.

How do I know if my gas line is too small?

Weak flames, appliances that underperform when others are running, or a tankless heater that shows errors can all point to an undersized line. We can measure and evaluate it.
