Professional Gas Line Repair & Installation in Westport & Fairfield County

However, gas line leaks represent an extreme safety risk requiring immediate attention from certified, licensed professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions: Gas Line Services
What should I do if I suspect a gas leak in my Westport home?↓
Evacuate immediately on foot. Do not turn lights on or off, do not use appliances, do not open garage doors electronically, and do not use your phone inside. Once outside and safely away from the house, call 911, your gas utility, and Westport Pro Plumbing & Drain.
Can a plumber work on natural gas and propane lines in Connecticut?↓
Yes. In Connecticut, licensed P-1 Unlimited Plumbing & Piping Contractors are legally certified and authorized to install, repair, pressure-test, and certify natural gas and propane piping systems.
Why did the gas company lock my gas meter?↓
If Southern Connecticut Gas (SCG) detects a pressure drop or leak in your customer-owned piping, they are required by law to turn off and lock the meter for safety. A licensed plumber must locate and fix the leak, pressure-test the system, and pull a town permit before SCG will restore service.
What is CSST flexible gas pipe?↓
Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST) is a flexible, continuous gas piping system that dramatically reduces fittings and joints inside walls. It must be properly bonded and grounded according to Connecticut electrical and plumbing codes.
