Natural gas is a staple in many Georgetown homes — powering water heaters, furnaces, stoves, dryers, and outdoor grills. As the city continues to grow and expand, more homeowners are running new gas lines to serve additional appliances or upgrading existing gas infrastructure that's showing its age. Kimco Plumbing & Air provides licensed gas line repair and installation in Georgetown with flat-rate pricing and thorough safety testing on every job.
Gas Line Services We Offer
Gas leak detection and repair. If you smell gas (a rotten egg odor) inside or outside your home, act immediately — leave the house, avoid creating any sparks, and call 911 and your gas utility from outside. Once the immediate danger is addressed, Kimco can inspect the entire gas piping system, locate the leak using electronic gas detectors and pressure testing, and make the necessary repairs. Gas leaks most commonly occur at fittings, connections, and appliance hook-ups where vibration, thermal expansion, and age gradually loosen joints over time.
Gas line installation for new appliances. Many Georgetown homeowners are converting from electric to gas — gas ranges, gas dryers, gas fireplaces, and outdoor gas grills are popular upgrades. Each new appliance requires a dedicated gas line run from your meter or manifold to the appliance location. This involves sizing the line correctly based on BTU demand and pipe run length, running black iron or CSST pipe through the home, connecting to the appliance, and pressure testing the entire system before turning on the gas.
Gas line repair for Sun City homes. The Sun City community has thousands of homes with gas appliances — water heaters, furnaces, and ranges. As these homes age (many are now 15-25 years old), gas line connections, flex connectors, and shut-off valves can deteriorate. We perform inspections and repairs throughout Sun City, addressing corroded fittings, failed shut-off valves, and outdated flex connectors that no longer meet current safety codes.
When Homeowners Need Gas Line Work
Adding a gas range. Converting from electric to gas is one of the most common gas line installations we do in Williamson County. The kitchen typically doesn't have an existing gas stub-out, so a new line needs to be run from the nearest supply point — which may involve routing through crawl spaces, walls, or the attic. Gas dryer conversion. Gas dryers are more efficient, use less energy, and dry clothes faster than electric models. If your laundry room doesn't have a gas connection, we can extend a line from the nearest supply. Outdoor kitchen or grill. The year-round outdoor living culture in Georgetown makes permanent gas connections increasingly popular — no more running out of propane mid-cookout.
Whole-house gas piping upgrade. Some older homes have undersized gas piping that can't support modern appliance demand. If you're experiencing low flames on your stove, a water heater that won't fire reliably, or appliances that seem to compete for gas pressure, the supply piping may need upsizing. This is especially common in homes where gas appliances have been added over the years without upgrading the main supply line. We evaluate total BTU demand and upgrade the piping to handle everything comfortably.
Gas Line Safety
Gas work is not DIY territory. Improperly installed or repaired gas lines can leak, cause fires, or produce carbon monoxide — an odorless, invisible gas that can be lethal. Every gas line job Kimco performs includes a pressure test — we pressurize the system above operating pressure, seal it off, and monitor for any drop that would indicate a leak. The system doesn't go live until it holds pressure with zero drop for a sustained period. We also verify proper clearances, ventilation, and code compliance for every appliance connection.
CSST vs. Black Iron Pipe
Black iron pipe is the traditional material for gas piping — rigid, durable, and reliable for decades. Every joint is threaded and sealed, making it extremely robust. We recommend it for main trunk lines and exposed exterior piping. CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is a flexible alternative that's faster to install with fewer fittings. It routes through walls and tight spaces easily, often meaning lower installation costs. However, CSST must be properly bonded (grounded) to protect against lightning-induced damage — especially relevant in Georgetown, where spring and summer thunderstorms are common and lightning strikes can energize ungrounded metallic piping.
Flat-Rate Gas Line Work in Georgetown
Every gas line repair, installation, and inspection is quoted at a flat rate. We assess the job, explain the scope, and give you a firm price before we start. Gas work is too important for guesswork or hourly billing surprises — you'll know exactly what you're paying before we pick up a wrench.
