Drain Cleaning
Slow, gurgling or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms and basements.
Adding a gas range, a standby generator, a fire pit or a new fireplace? We size the line and pressure-test every run before it goes into service. We make sure permits and inspections are handled where required. From our office on West Goodale Boulevard.

We run new gas lines and extend existing ones for:
Switching from electric to gas, or moving the range in a kitchen remodel.
A line sized for the generator's full load.
A permanent line instead of swapping propane tanks.
New gas fireplaces or wood-to-gas conversions. See gas fireplace service.
A dedicated line for a gas dryer in the basement or laundry room.
Tankless units often need more gas than the old tank. See tankless water heaters.
Gas work has to be right the first time:
We add up every gas appliance in the house, measure the run from the meter and size the new line to match.
We make sure permits and inspections are handled where required, and before any outdoor digging we call OUPS (Ohio811) to mark buried utilities.
We run the pipe and install the shutoff valves code requires, inside or underground.
We pressure-test the line and check every connection before the appliance goes into service.
Older Columbus homes were piped for a furnace, a water heater and maybe a range. Today's add-ons can ask a lot more of the system.
A generator, a tankless heater and an outdoor kitchen can each pull a lot of gas. Add them to a system sized decades ago, and you may need a bigger line from the meter.
Before we connect to original black iron piping, we check the existing pipe and fittings for corrosion and leaks.
On older lots near downtown, an outdoor line may have to route around brick walks, fences and close neighbors. We plan the path before we dig.
With gas, the details matter more than the speed.
Our plumbers are trained on gas piping, and we make sure permits and inspections are handled where required.
We look at the job and give you a flat rate before anything starts. We don't price gas work over the phone.
Every new line is pressure-tested before your appliance runs on it.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."

Generally, yes. We make sure the permit and inspection are handled.
Generally, yes. New gas piping usually needs a permit and an inspection. We make sure both are handled as part of the job. Permitted work also matters when you sell the house.
Often, but we check your meter and existing load first.
Often, but it depends on the generator and what else runs on gas. We add up the load from your furnace, water heater, range and other appliances and check it against your meter and piping before sizing the line.
A short run can take a few hours. Longer runs can take a day or more.
A short run to a range or dryer can often be done in a few hours. Longer runs, generators or outdoor kitchens can take a full day or more. You'll get a realistic timeline before work begins.
It depends on the run, the appliance and permits. You get a flat price first.
It depends on the length of the run, pipe size, the appliance, permits and access. We give you a flat rate after looking at the job, before anything starts.
