Gas Line Repair & Installation in Rhode Island
Leak detection, new line installs and appliance hookups, done by licensed plumbers, pulled to permit, and pressure-tested before we call it done.
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.

- Code-compliant: installed and tested to Rhode Island's mechanical and fuel-gas code

What Rhode Islanders say after the fix.
"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."
"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.
