If you're planning to add a gas stove, hook up a new dryer, or build that outdoor fire pit you've been dreaming about, you need gas line work done right the first time. Gas line installation in Utah isn't a weekend DIY project. One loose fitting or undersized pipe can turn into a dangerous leak. That's where we come in.
Donahue Plumbing has served homeowners across the Salt Lake Valley since 1982. We're a family-owned, locally operated shop based in Herriman, and we treat your home like it's our own. From running new natural gas lines to tracking down a hidden leak, our licensed plumbers handle gas work safely, by the book, and at a fair price.
What To Do If You Smell Gas
If you notice a rotten egg or sulfur smell, a hissing sound near a line, dead vegetation outside, an unexplained spike in your gas bill, or headaches and nausea indoors, treat it as serious. Here's how to detect a gas leak in the house and respond safely:
- Evacuate immediately. Get everyone, including pets, outside and away from the home.
- Don't operate electrical switches. No light switches, garage doors, or appliances. A spark can ignite gas.
- Avoid open flames. No candles, lighters, or matches.
- Shut off the gas supply at the main valve only if it's safe to reach.
- Call a licensed gas line professional like Donahue Plumbing for repair.
Never try to find or fix a gas leak yourself.
Our Gas Line Installation Services in Utah
Gas powers a lot of what makes a Utah home comfortable, especially through our cold winters. Furnaces, water heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and dryers all rely on a safe, properly sized gas supply. Here's a look at the gas line services we provide across the Salt Lake City metro.
New Gas Line Installation for Homes and Businesses
If you're building an addition, remodeling a kitchen, or upgrading from electric to gas appliances, we run new lines from your meter straight to where you need them. We start every job with appliance load calculations, so your pipe is sized to deliver enough fuel without dropping pressure.
We install both natural gas and propane (LPG) systems and work with several materials depending on your setup:
- Black iron pipe for durable, long-running interior lines
- CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing) for flexible runs through tight framing
- Flexible gas lines for the final appliance connection
Common installs we handle include:
- Gas stoves, gas ranges, and gas ovens
- Gas dryers
- Water heaters and tankless water heaters
- Gas fireplaces
- Outdoor fire pits and gas grills
- Pool heaters
- Home additions and remodels
Every new line gets a pressure test and leak test before we connect a single appliance. No shortcuts.
Gas Line Extensions for Appliances and Outdoor Features
Maybe your home already has gas, but you want to add something new. We extend existing lines to power a backyard fire pit, a built-in grill, a pool heater, or a new gas range in a remodeled kitchen.
We confirm your current system can handle the extra demand, then run the new branch with the right pipe size and a dedicated shut-off valve. Outdoor gas fire pits and pool heaters are especially popular in neighborhoods like Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, and Draper, and we install them to meet Utah code.
Gas Line Repair and Replacement
Gas pipe doesn't last forever. Older homes in Sugar House and South Salt Lake sometimes have corroded or improperly installed lines that need attention. We locate the problem, repair or replace the affected section, and pressure test the whole system to confirm it's tight.
Gas Line Inspections and Leak Detection
Not sure if your gas line is safe? We use professional gas leak detection equipment to inspect your system, check gas valves, and find leaks you can't see or smell on your own. Routine inspections catch small problems before they become big ones, especially before the heavy winter heating season.
What Gas Line Installation Costs in Utah
Everyone wants to know about natural gas line installation cost up front, and that's fair. The truth is, every job is different. Several factors affect the final price:
- Distancefrom your existing gas supply or meter
- Type of applianceand how much fuel it needs
- Pipe material(black iron, CSST, or flexible line)
- Indoor vs. outdoorinstallation
- Permit requirementsin your city
- Accessibilityof the route through walls, crawl spaces, or yard
- Pressure testingand utility coordination
A short run for a gas range costs far less than a long line to a backyard pool heater. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick consultation. We'll look at your project and give you an honest, written estimate, no guesswork.
