If You Smell Gas, Act First
Leave the building right away. Do not flip light switches, use a garage door opener, light anything, or use a phone inside. From outside or a neighbor's home, call 911 or your gas utility emergency line. Once officials clear the scene, call us at (615) 583-1830 for testing and repair. No repair is worth staying in a building that smells strongly of gas.
Symptoms First
Signs a Gas Line Needs Attention
A rotten-egg smell is added to natural gas on purpose so leaks are noticed. Treat any gas smell as urgent, every time. Other signs are quieter: a hissing sound near a fitting, a pilot that will not stay lit, an appliance that burns with a lazy yellow flame instead of a steady blue one, or a gas bill that rose without more use.
Planned gas work is different from an emergency. Adding a gas range, replacing an electric water heater with a gas model, or running a line for an outdoor fireplace all need correct sizing, shutoff valves, and a pressure test before the appliance is used. Undersized lines starve appliances and oversized claims about what a line can feed cause real problems, so we calculate the load from the appliances you actually have.
- Rotten-egg or sulfur smell anywhere in the home
- Hissing near a gas fitting or appliance
- Pilot light that repeatedly goes out
- Yellow or flickering burner flame instead of blue
- Gas bill rising with no change in use
- New gas appliance planned: range, dryer, heater
- Old flexible connector that is kinked or corroded
- Dead grass or plants above a buried gas run
How We Fix It
How We Handle Gas Line Work Safely
Every gas job follows the same order: make it safe, test it, then do the work, then test it again before anything is lit.
Make the area safe and shut off gas
For a suspected leak, gas is shut off at the appliance or meter as appropriate and the space is ventilated. No testing happens until the area is safe.
Pressure-test and locate the issue
We pressure-test the line and check fittings with approved leak detection methods to find exactly where gas is escaping or where capacity falls short.
Repair or install to code
We replace failed sections, fit correct shutoffs and connectors, and size new runs for the total appliance load, following Tennessee code and permit requirements.
Retest, relight, and verify
The finished line is pressure-tested again, appliances are relit, and burners are checked for a clean, steady flame before we leave.
Why Homeowners Call Us
Why La Vergne Calls Us for Gas Line Work
Safety steps stated plainly
We will tell you to leave and call 911 or the utility first if you smell gas. That advice costs us a rushed job and it is still the right order.
Tested twice, on record
Lines are tested before work and after work. You see the gauge hold before any appliance goes back into service.
Sized for real loads
A tankless water heater plus a range plus a furnace is a real calculation. We size for the combined draw so nothing starves at peak use.
No certification claims we cannot back
We describe the work, the test, and the permit steps honestly and do not invent credentials. Ask us anything about the process before we start.
Making the Call
Gas Line Situations: What To Do First
The first step depends on whether anyone may be in danger. When in doubt, treat it as an emergency and get out first.
| Situation | First Step | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Strong gas smell, headache, or dizziness | Leave immediately, call 911 from outside | Call the gas utility, then call us once the scene is cleared |
| Faint gas smell near one appliance | Leave, avoid switches, call the utility or 911 | We test fittings and connectors after clearance |
| Pilot keeps going out, no smell | Stop relighting it repeatedly | Book a visit to test the line, valve, and appliance |
| Adding a gas range or dryer | Do not connect it to an untested line | We size, install a shutoff, and pressure-test first |
| Replacing a water heater with gas | Confirm venting and gas capacity | We run or extend the line and test before install |

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas in my La Vergne home?
Leave right away, avoid switches and flames, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Do not try to find the leak yourself or relight anything. Once the utility or fire department clears the home, call us for testing and repair.
Can you add a gas line for a new range or dryer?
Yes. We calculate the load, run the line, fit a dedicated shutoff valve, and pressure-test everything before the appliance is connected. Permit requirements are followed for the work involved.
How do you test a gas line for leaks?
We pressure-test the isolated line with a gauge and check fittings with approved leak detection solution. A line that cannot hold pressure is not put back into service until the failed section is found and repaired.
Why does my gas water heater pilot keep going out?
Common causes are a failing thermocouple, a draft problem, a dirty burner, or low gas supply from a partly failed valve or undersized line. Repeated relighting is not a fix. We test supply and the appliance together.
Do gas lines need permits in La Vergne?
Gas line installation and major alterations generally require permits and inspection under Tennessee and local code. We explain the permit steps for your specific job before work begins so there are no surprises.
Can you run a gas line for an outdoor fireplace or grill?
Yes, planned outdoor runs are common. The line is sized for the appliance, buried or routed to code, fitted with an accessible shutoff, and pressure-tested before first use.
