Gas line removal

Schedule annual inspections for your gas lines to help maintain their integrity, account for local wear and tear, and address environmental factors. Regular check-ups from Molberg Plumbing can identify leaks, corrosion, or blockages before they cause problems or disrupt service. Early detection also saves on costly repairs and supports system longevity, so your home stays safe.

Repair or replacement depends on the age, condition, and extent of damage to your gas line. Lines with frequent leaks, rust, or nearing the typical lifespan (about 20–30 years for steel) may call for full replacement. Newer lines with isolated issues can usually be repaired by a professional after inspection. In every case, consult with a licensed technician for a safe, reliable recommendation that meets Fort Worth safety requirements.

The time required for gas line installation in Fort Worth varies based on the job’s complexity, line length, accessibility of the area, and the number of appliances. One-day jobs may be possible for simple installations, while multi-day projects or those requiring multiple connections might take a week or more—especially if permits and inspections are needed. Accurate scheduling depends on an on-site review of your needs and property.

Prepare for installation by clearing the work area, removing any furniture or items that could block access, and ensuring technicians can reach the appliance locations. Know where you want new lines to run, and share this during your initial consultation. Have someone available during the scheduled time to answer questions and be present for final walkthroughs and inspections as needed.

The most common signs include the smell of rotten eggs, hissing or whistling near gas lines, and dead vegetation around buried pipes. You may also notice pilot lights going out or experience symptoms such as dizziness if a leak is present. If you notice these warnings, evacuate and call emergency services, then arrange a professional inspection from Molberg Plumbing to locate and repair the issue.

During emergencies, our team assesses the source and severity of the problem, then isolates the affected area to prevent leaks or further damage. Repairs usually involve replacing sections and always finish with careful testing to confirm that each repair meets current safety standards. The goal is to restore safe functionality as quickly and thoroughly as possible while protecting your home from further risk.

Any company performing gas line repair or installation in Fort Worth is required to hold current plumbing licenses, as mandated by the State of Texas and the City of Fort Worth. Licensed plumbers meet strict training and testing standards, and legal work includes insurance coverage to protect property owners during each job. Homeowners should always verify that their chosen contractor has these credentials to avoid code violations and to ensure compliance with local safety regulations.

Homeowner’s insurance may cover damage to gas lines from sudden accidents, such as fire or explosions, but most policies exclude repairs due to general wear and slow deterioration. Review your policy or ask your provider for specifics about coverage and exclusions for utility lines, especially for older properties.
