What To Watch For
Rotten Egg Smell
The odor added to natural gas specifically so a leak is noticeable.
Hissing Sound Near A Line
An audible hiss near a pipe, meter, or appliance connection.
Dead Or Discolored Vegetation
Plants dying over a buried gas line without another clear cause.
Pilot Light Won't Stay Lit
Can point to a gas supply or pressure issue upstream of the appliance.
If You Smell Gas: What To Do Right Now
- Leave the house immediately. Do not flip light switches, use your phone inside, or light anything.
- Once you're safely outside and away from the building, call your gas utility's emergency line.

- Do not go back inside until the utility or a technician confirms it's safe.
Running A Line For A New Appliance
Adding a gas range, dryer, water heater, generator, or an outdoor fire pit usually means running a new gas line sized to that appliance's BTU demand, not just tapping into whatever's nearby. Undersized line is a real problem, since it can starve an appliance of the gas pressure it needs to run correctly, which is why sizing the line to the actual appliance matters more than just getting a connection there at all.
Outdoor gas appliances are worth a specific mention in Loveland, since fire pits, patio heaters, and backup generators have all become more common additions in recent years. Running a line outdoors adds its own considerations beyond sizing, proper burial depth, freeze protection where the line surfaces above grade, and a code-compliant shutoff at the appliance itself. These aren't optional details, and skipping them is exactly the kind of shortcut that turns into a safety issue later rather than just a code technicality.
Adding A Gas Appliance?
We size and run the line correctly the first time.
Why This Isn't A DIY Job
Gas line work in Colorado follows the same International Fuel Gas Code framework the plumbing code references for gas piping, covering pipe material, sizing, and required shutoff placement. A permit and inspection are part of any new installation and most repairs, since this is safety-regulated work, not a cosmetic upgrade. We handle the permit and inspection scheduling as part of the job rather than leaving it to the homeowner.
A straightforward repair or reconnect on the low end, running a new line to an outdoor appliance on the high end. Exact quote after inspection.
