SOS licensed plumber pressure-testing a black-iron gas line in a Rhode Island basement

Gas is unforgiving. We treat it that way.

A gas line is the one plumbing system where a shortcut isn't a callback. It's a hazard. Every gas job SOS touches is handled by a licensed plumber, run to Rhode Island code, permitted where the state requires it, and pressure-tested before we leave. Whether you smell something and need it found today, or you're adding a line for a new range, we do it safe and we do it once.

Gas services we provide

  • Leak detection & repair: electronic sniffers and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak, then a permanent repair, not a temporary seal
  • New gas line installation: sized correctly for the appliance load, from the meter to the connection
  • Gas line replacement: retiring corroded, undersized or out-of-code piping
  • Appliance hookups: ranges and stoves, dryers, water heaters, boilers, fireplaces and outdoor grills

Signs of a gas leak

Natural gas is odorless on its own, so utilities add a sulfur "rotten egg" smell you can't miss. Learn the other tells too:

  • A rotten-egg or sulfur smell: the clearest warning; never ignore it
  • A hissing or whistling sound near a line, meter or appliance
  • Dead or dying vegetation in a line otherwise-healthy patch of yard above a buried line
  • An unexplained jump in your gas bill: gas escaping is gas you're paying for
  • Physical symptoms: headaches, dizziness or nausea that ease when you leave the house

If you notice any of these, don't hunt for the source yourself. Leave, call your gas utility or 911 from outside, and then call us.

Why homeowners call SOS for gas work

  • Licensed & insured: gas piping is done by licensed plumbers, not handymen
  • Code-compliant: installed and tested to Rhode Island's mechanical and fuel-gas code
  • Permits handled: we pull the permit and meet the inspector so the paperwork is clean for your records and your insurer
  • Pressure-tested: every line is proven tight before it's put into service

A gas emergency can't wait

Once the immediate danger is handled by your utility, our 24/7 emergency team makes the repair, nights, weekends and holidays included. A person answers the phone every hour of the day.

How a rescue works

From your call to fixed, in four moves.

Signal 01, dispatch

You call. A person answers.

No phone tree, no callback queue. Describe the problem and we dispatch the nearest tech, same-day for most calls, immediately for emergencies.

Signal 02, diagnose

Upfront price before we open a wall.

The tech diagnoses on site, walks you through options, and quotes flat pricing before any work begins. You approve, or you don't. No surprises on the invoice.

Signal 03, fix

Fixed right, left clean.

Stocked vans mean most repairs finish in one visit. We protect floors, wear boot covers, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.

Signal 04, guarantee

Backed in writing.

Workmanship is guaranteed and every tech is licensed and insured in Rhode Island. If something isn't right, we come back. That's the whole policy.

What Rhode Islanders say after the fix.

★★★★★

"They were responsive even on a holiday. The only company out of several that actually responded. Showed up and did professional work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and good service."

Matthew P. · Google review
★★★★★

"We called SOS for a leaky fixture, and they were quick to respond. Came right out and replaced gaskets instead of the whole fixture. Another plumber quoted over $1000 before they saw what we needed… we will call them again if we ever need anything."

Barbara B. · Google review
★★★★★

"Excellent crew!! Jose and Matt came early in the timeframe the office provided and were professional and friendly the entire time, explaining everything along the way… this company is HONEST and upfront about pricing. The job was less entailed than originally thought, so my final cost was reduced dramatically."

Good questions

Asked before every gas lines job.

What should I do if I smell gas in my house?

Leave the home right away, don't flip switches, light anything or use your phone inside. From a safe distance outside, call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. Once they've made the area safe, call SOS at (401) 601-5040 and we'll handle the repair.

Do I need a permit to install or move a gas line?

In Rhode Island, gas piping work requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, do the work to code, and meet the inspector. You get clean documentation for your records and your insurance.

Can you run a new gas line for a stove or dryer?

Yes, running or extending a line for a gas range, dryer, water heater, fireplace or outdoor grill is routine work for us. We size the line to the appliance, connect it, and pressure-test before it goes into service.

How much does gas line work cost?

It depends on the length of the run, the appliance load and access, so we diagnose on site and quote a flat, upfront price you approve before any work begins. The number you approve is the number on the invoice.

Whatever's leaking, clogged or cold, send the signal.
