Gas Line Installation & Repair around Fort Collins
A meaningful share of Old Town homes still have original black iron gas piping from decades before PEX and CSST became common, and while black iron can last a very long time when it's in good condition, threaded joints that were never quite tight or have corroded over the decades are the most common source of a gas leak we're called out for.
New gas line installations, for a range, a fireplace insert, or an outdoor grill, come up often as part of the same remodel wave driving basement finishes and kitchen updates across the city's older housing stock, and running the new line correctly the first time avoids a failed inspection that delays the rest of the project.
Colorado 811 requires a locate request before any digging for a new underground gas line, and skipping that step is both a safety risk and, in many cases, a legal requirement we won't bypass regardless of how minor the dig looks.
IS THIS AN EMERGENCY?
Any gas smell is treated as urgent
If you smell gas, especially a strong sulfur or rotten-egg smell, leave the house and call from outside. Don't operate switches or search for the source yourself. We treat every reported gas smell as urgent.

What a gas line installation & repair visit looks like
For a suspected leak, we use a combustible gas detector to pinpoint the exact location rather than guessing from a general smell, and we treat any active leak as an immediate priority.
For new installations, we size the line to the appliance's BTU rating and the total run length, then pressure test the completed line before it's ever put into service.
For an appliance connection specifically, we also verify the flexible connector, if one is used, is rated for the appliance and hasn't exceeded its service life, since old flexible gas connectors are a commonly overlooked failure point.
Cost depends on the line's length, whether it's buried or interior, and how many fittings and appliances it serves, and any active leak repair is prioritized as urgent work regardless of scheduling considerations.

QUESTIONS
Questions about gas line installation & repair
I smell gas near my stove. What should I do first?
Leave the gas on only if it's safe to do so while calling immediately; if the smell is strong, shut off the gas at the meter if you know how, leave the house, and call from outside. We treat any reported gas smell as urgent.
Can you add a gas line for an outdoor grill or fire pit?
Yes, and it's a common addition alongside the kind of backyard and patio projects that pick up every spring here once the weather turns.
Is old black iron gas pipe automatically a problem?
Not automatically. Black iron in good condition can last decades. The concern is specifically at threaded joints that have loosened or corroded, which is exactly what we check during an inspection or leak investigation.
Do you call in a utility locate before digging for a new gas line?
Yes, always, through Colorado 811. It's both a safety requirement and standard practice before any underground work, regardless of how small the dig appears to be.
Is a longer gas line run always significantly more expensive?
Generally yes, length and whether the run is buried both add cost, though we'll give you a clear number before starting rather than an estimate that changes partway through.
Can you convert a propane appliance to natural gas or vice versa?
In many cases yes, with the appropriate orifice and regulator changes for the appliance, which we'll confirm are available for your specific unit.
