Our Process
- Assess the job safely: We evaluate your gas supply, appliance demand, and existing piping before any work begins, with safety first at every step.
- Size and plan the line: We size the new or extended line correctly so every appliance gets the volume and pressure it needs.
- Install to code: Our licensed plumbers run and connect the line using approved materials and methods that meet South Carolina code.
- Pressure-test and leak-check: We pressure-test the system and use detection equipment to verify there are zero leaks before gas flows.
- Final safety verification: We confirm proper appliance operation and walk you through the finished, fully tested installation.
Gas Safety in the Lowcountry
Gas work is not a DIY project, and in coastal Charleston it carries added stakes: salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed gas piping and fittings, and hurricane season makes a reliable generator gas line genuinely valuable. Our licensed plumbers handle every job, from a new tankless water heater hookup to a whole standby-generator line, to South Carolina code with full pressure-testing and leak verification. If you ever smell gas, leave the home and call us or your utility immediately. Contact us for gas line work across Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, and greater Charleston.

Frequently Asked Questions
I smell gas. What should I do right now?
Do not flip switches or light anything. Get everyone out of the house, leave the door open, and once you are safely away, call your gas utility’s emergency line or 911, then call us. We will locate and repair the leak and verify the system is safe before restoring service.
Can you run a gas line to a standby generator before hurricane season?
Yes, and it is one of our most-requested jobs in the Charleston area. We size the line to your generator’s demand, install it to code, and pressure-test it so you have reliable backup power when a storm knocks out the grid.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in the Charleston area?
Most gas line installation and modification requires a permit and licensed work. We handle the proper permitting and inspections so your project is legal, safe, and documented, which also protects you with your insurance and at resale.
Can you run a gas line for a new range, dryer or tankless water heater?
Yes. New appliance lines are one of our most common gas jobs, including ranges, dryers, tankless water heaters, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and generators. We size the line for the appliance's demand, install it to code, pressure-test it and confirm the appliance runs correctly before we leave.
Who pulls the permit for gas line work in Charleston?
We do. As the licensed contractor, we handle the permit and the inspection as part of the job, so you do not have to deal with the building department yourself. Having the work permitted and inspected also protects you with your insurance and at resale.
Do you do gas line repairs in Charleston, SC?
Yes. We repair and replace gas piping across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, the islands, James Island and West Ashley. Salt air corrodes exposed gas fittings faster here than inland, so if you smell gas, hear hissing, or your bill has jumped, leave the house, call the gas utility or 911 from outside, and then call us.
