Gas Line Installation & Repair In Anderson, IN
New gas line runs for a range, dryer, or outdoor grill, and repair for an existing line, permitted and pressure-tested to the Indiana Fuel Gas Code.
If You Smell Gas Right Now
A rotten-egg smell is the additive utilities put in natural gas specifically so a leak is noticeable, and it should always be treated as an emergency rather than something to schedule around. Gas line work in Indiana falls under the Indiana Fuel Gas Code standard (675 IAC 25), and interior gas piping repair and new installation requires a licensed plumbing contractor and a permit through the local building department in nearly every case.
New gas line runs are most often requested for a gas range, dryer, outdoor grill, fireplace insert, or pool heater, each of which needs its own line sized to that appliance's BTU demand rather than tapped off an existing line without checking capacity.
What To Do If You Smell Gas
- Leave the house immediately without operating light switches, phones, or appliances.
- Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself or light anything.
- Call from a safe distance once you're outside and away from the structure.

Sizing, Permitting, And Pressure Testing
Every new gas line is sized to the specific appliance's BTU rating and the line's length from the meter, following the sizing tables in the Indiana Fuel Gas Code. Once installed, the line is pressure-tested before any appliance is connected, holding pressure over time to confirm there's no leak at any joint.
We pull the required permit and schedule the final inspection as part of the job, which most Madison County jurisdictions require before a new gas line can be put into service.
Why This Work Requires A Licensed Contractor
Indiana requires an IPLA-licensed plumbing contractor for gas piping work inside and immediately adjacent to a structure, distinct from work on the meter or utility-side service line itself, which falls to the gas utility rather than a plumbing contractor. That licensing requirement exists because an undersized line, a bad joint, or incorrect venting on a gas appliance is a genuine safety risk, not just a performance issue.
Pipe material matters too: CSST, black steel, and polyethylene are all approved under the Indiana Fuel Gas Code for different applications. Copper is approved for propane systems but generally not for natural gas in most Indiana jurisdictions, which is a detail worth confirming before assuming any material works for a given job.
