Keep Gas Appliances Safe and Functional

Gas piping and valve installation and repair services in East Texas ensure your lines meet code and operate without leaks.

Gas lines in your Longview and surrounding areas home deliver fuel to your water heater, stove, dryer, and backup generator, and any leak or faulty valve creates a serious safety hazard. You may smell gas near an appliance, hear a hissing sound at a connection point, or notice that a burner will not light even though other appliances work. These problems require immediate professional attention because natural gas is flammable and can displace oxygen in enclosed spaces.


Thomas and Young Plumbing Services, LLC installs new gas lines for appliances, repairs damaged piping, and replaces shutoff valves that leak or fail to close completely. Every installation follows applicable codes to ensure safe operation in Longview and surrounding areas, and leak checks confirm that connections seal properly before the system goes into service. When the work is done, your appliances receive steady gas flow, valves turn smoothly, and you can operate each burner or pilot light without the smell of gas lingering in the room.


If you detect the odor of gas, hear unusual sounds near a gas line, or plan to add a new appliance that requires a connection, get in touch to schedule an inspection or installation.

How Gas Line Installation and Repair Work

Installation begins by mapping the route from your existing gas supply to the new appliance location in Longview and surrounding areas, then running code-compliant piping through walls, crawl spaces, or along exterior surfaces. Thomas and Young Plumbing Services, LLC sizes the line to match the appliance demand, installs a shutoff valve within reach, and pressure tests every joint to confirm there are no leaks before restoring gas flow.


After the service, your appliance operates normally without gas odors, the shutoff valve closes fully when turned, and connections remain leak-free during use. You gain the ability to safely operate equipment that depends on natural gas without worrying about fire risk or carbon monoxide buildup.


Repairs address leaking joints, damaged pipe sections, and valves that no longer seal properly. Leak repairs involve shutting off the gas supply, removing the compromised section, and installing new fittings or pipe. Valve replacements ensure you can isolate an appliance quickly in an emergency. This work does not cover appliance servicing or burner adjustments, which require separate expertise, but it does restore the delivery system that supplies fuel to your equipment.

You Probably Have These Questions

Gas piping work raises safety concerns, and homeowners in Longview and surrounding areas often ask similar questions before scheduling service or installations.

What are the signs of a gas line leak?
You may smell sulfur or rotten eggs near an appliance or pipe run, hear a hissing or whistling sound at a connection, or notice dead vegetation above an underground line. If you suspect a leak, leave the area and call a professional immediately.
How do you test gas lines for leaks?
Thomas and Young Plumbing Services, LLC pressurizes the line and applies a soap solution to joints and fittings, watching for bubbles that indicate escaping gas. Electronic detectors may also be used to confirm safe operation before restoring service.

Can I install my own gas line in Longview and surrounding areas?

Local codes typically require licensed professionals to install and test gas piping due to the serious safety risks involved. Improper installation can lead to leaks, fires, or explosions.
Why does my shutoff valve leak when I turn it?
Valve stems wear out over time, and internal seals can crack or deteriorate, allowing gas to escape when the valve is partially open or closed. Replacement is the safest solution once a valve begins to leak.
What appliances need dedicated gas lines?
Water heaters, stoves, dryers, furnaces, and standby generators each require their own line sized to meet the appliance demand. Sharing lines or using undersized piping can starve equipment and create unsafe operating conditions.
