Gas smell or suspected leak
If you smell gas, leave and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the house is safe, we find the source with a pressure test and repair it. Gas leak repair in Cary is for licensed hands only.

Gas Line Repair and Installation
Gas line problems we fix in Cary
Most gas line calls are one of these six. Tell us which one sounds like yours and we will tell you what the job usually involves.
Failed pressure test from the utility
If the utility will not restore service after a test, the line has a leak. We locate it, repair or replace that section, and test again so service can be turned back on.
New line for a range, dryer, or water heater conversion
Many Cary homes were built with electric appliances. Converting to gas means a new line from the nearest tie-in, and we check that your supply can carry the added load first.
Outdoor line for a grill, fire pit, or pool heater
We run a permanent line out to the patio, protect it where it is exposed, add a shutoff you can reach, and pressure test it before anything is connected.
Moving a gas appliance
Remodeling a kitchen or relocating a dryer means moving the line behind it. We cap what is no longer used, extend what is, and leave the connections accessible.
Generator or outdoor kitchen
A standby generator or an outdoor kitchen can use more gas than the old line was sized for. We size the supply to the new total load and tell you plainly if it needs upgrading.

Gas Lines in Cary
Cary homes and gas lines
Most of Cary was built between the 1980s and the 2000s. Those homes are old enough that connections have loosened or corroded, and a gas line that sat quiet for years can start to show a leak after yard work, settling, or an appliance swap. We test the line before we blame the appliance.
Plenty of homes in Preston, Lochmere, Kildaire Farms, and Cary Park started with electric ranges, dryers, and water heaters, and owners now want to convert. That is a new-line job. We check the capacity of your existing supply first, so the range does not starve the furnace when both are running. A tankless water heater is a common reason the old line falls short.
Our shop is at 3460 Apex Pkwy in Apex, which borders Cary, and we work Monday through Saturday, 7:00 to 18:00. Call or text (919) 679-1275, or book online. More about how we work in Cary.

Helpful Details
Gas line questions from Cary
How much does gas line repair or installation cost in Cary?
It depends on the length of the run, the pipe material, how hard the route is to reach, how much gas the appliance needs, and whether a permit is required. We give you the real price before we start, and nothing begins until you approve it.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave right away with everyone inside, including pets. Do not touch light switches or use the phone inside. Call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the area is safe, call Sweetwater Plumbing at (919) 679-1275 for the repair.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in Cary?
Often, yes. New gas lines and many repairs need one. We pull permits where the town requires them and schedule the inspection, so the work is documented and checked.
Can you run a gas line to my grill or fire pit?
Yes. We extend an existing line or run a new one to the patio, install a shutoff, and pressure test it. We also check that your supply can handle the added appliance.
How long does a gas line repair or install take?
A short repair is a much smaller job than a new line across the house or a generator hookup. Length, access, and inspection scheduling decide it. We tell you what to expect when we give you the price.
Can you convert my electric range or dryer to gas?
Yes, if the supply can carry it. We check capacity, run the line, pressure test it, and connect the appliance. Some appliances also need a conversion or different fittings, which we confirm before the work.
