Initially, our plan was to attempt a repair on the damaged section of the gas line. However, upon closer inspection, it became evident that the existing setup consisted of a standard 40 PVC pipe, connected to 80 PVC and galvanized components.

Solution from Almco Plumbing
Gas line replacement by Almco Plumbing involves the following key steps.
- To resolve the problem, we made the decision to connect directly to the gas meter, routing the gas line up and over a window before descending into a suitable fitting. Throughout the project, our primary focus was to ensure strict compliance with local building codes. We diligently secured and suspended all components to guarantee safety and adherence to regulatory standards.
- The project had an estimated completion time of approximately three days. We began by trenching the designated area, where a portion of the gas line would be placed underground. Using a durable yellow poly line, we established a secure foundation. Additionally, we incorporated flexible poly risers and installed a valve to optimize functionality.
- On the other end of this setup, we seamlessly connected to the building with another valve, ensuring airtight connections.
- Before concluding the project, we conducted a thorough pressure test and eagerly awaited inspection to validate the integrity of our work.
