Gas smell: what to do first

Gas Line Repair and Installation
Gas line jobs we do in Holly Springs
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.
Leak detection and failed pressure tests
A line that will not hold pressure has a leak somewhere. We pressure test to find it, repair or replace that section, and test again so the utility can restore service or the inspector can pass it.
New line for a range, dryer, or fireplace
Moving from an electric range or dryer to gas means a new line from the nearest tie-in. We check that the supply can carry the added load before we run it.
Generator, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, or pool heater
Outdoor and backup appliances are big gas users. We run a permanent line, protect it where exposed, add a shutoff you can reach, and pressure test before anything is connected.
Propane tank hookups
Where there is no natural gas at the street, we connect propane tanks to the house piping with the right regulators and lines, and size the pipe for the appliances on it.
Sizing for tankless or a bigger load
A tankless water heater, generator, or new range can push a gas line past what it carries. We add up the BTU load of every appliance and tell you plainly if the line needs upgrading.

Gas Lines in Holly Springs
Holly Springs homes and gas lines
Most Holly Springs homes were built from the 2000s through the 2020s in neighborhoods like Sunset Ridge, 12 Oaks, Holly Glen, and Wescott. The piping is newer, so the common calls are not corroded old lines. They are new appliances: a gas range, a standby generator, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, or a pool heater added after the builder was gone. Clay soil also shifts buried lines over time, and yard work can damage one, so we test before we blame the appliance.
Gas availability varies by subdivision. Many newer neighborhoods have natural gas at the street, and others rely on propane tanks. The fuel changes the regulators, the pipe sizing, and the appliance settings, so we confirm it first. If you are adding a heater, see tankless water heaters in Holly Springs or our water heaters page.
Our shop is at 3460 Apex Pkwy in Apex, a short drive up NC-55, and we work Monday through Saturday, 7:00 to 18:00. If something is wrong with a gas smell, leave first and call the utility. Then call or text (919) 679-1275, or book online. More about how we work in Holly Springs, including our emergency plumber page.

Helpful Details
Gas line questions from Holly Springs
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 first. Once the area is safe, call Sweetwater Plumbing at (919) 679-1275 for the repair.
How much does gas line repair or installation cost in Holly Springs?
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.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in Holly Springs?
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.
My home has no natural gas. Can I still get a gas line?
Yes. A propane tank can feed a range, dryer, generator, fire pit, or pool heater. We connect the tank to the house piping and size the lines for the load.
Can you run a gas line to an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, or generator?
Yes. We extend an existing line or run a new one outside, add a shutoff, and pressure test it. We also check that your supply can handle the added appliance.
