Why Homeowners Trust Our Team

Inviting someone into your home to work on gas piping requires real trust. Many of our customers come to us after feeling uncertain about who to call or worried about whether a project will be done correctly. We respond by showing up on time, explaining the plan in plain language, and treating your home with care from the moment we arrive.

As a local, family-owned company, we have spent more than two decades working in homes throughout the Iowa City area. We understand how important it is to keep heat, hot water, and cooking appliances running safely, especially during busy weeks. Our plumbers complete customer service training along with technical training, so you get clear communication, not confusing jargon.

For homeowners who like predictable maintenance and priority scheduling, our Total Care Club provides front-of-line service, annual inspections, repair discounts, and visits without a service fee.

Gas Line Services For Your Home

Every home uses gas a little differently, and our job is to adapt to your layout, appliances, and plans. Some homeowners call us while planning a kitchen remodel, others during a basement finish, and some when a new appliance reveals that existing piping is not in the right place. We can help you think through what is needed so your project moves forward safely.

Our plumbers work on gas lines for a range of residential needs. This often includes new piping for appliances that are being added or moved, such as a gas range, dryer, or fireplace insert. We also reroute gas lines during renovations so cabinets, walls, or new rooms can be completed without unsafe shortcuts or makeshift connections.

In older homes, we are frequently called to replace sections of gas piping that are corroded, undersized, or no longer meet current code. Updating these lines helps improve safety and can also support the performance of modern furnaces and water heaters. We use dependable materials and proven installation methods, so your system is set up for long-term reliability rather than short-term fixes.

Common gas line projects we handle include:

• New gas lines for ranges, ovens, cooktops, and outdoor grills
• Gas piping for furnaces, boilers, and garage or shop heaters
• Connections for tank and tankless water heaters
• Lines for fireplaces, log sets, and fire pits
• Moving or extending gas lines during kitchen, basement, or laundry remodels
• Replacing aging or damaged gas piping and valves

Our Gas Line Installation Process

Knowing what to expect can make gas line installation much less stressful. We follow a consistent process that focuses on safety, clear communication, and respect for your home. From the first phone call to final testing, our plumbers explain each step so you are not left wondering what is happening behind the scenes.

When you contact Ackerman Plumbing, we start by asking about your home, your appliances, and the reason for the project. During our visit, we assess existing piping, measure the run needed for new or relocated lines, and look at how best to route piping with minimal disruption to walls and finishes. We share what we find, then discuss options, timelines, and pricing in straightforward terms.

Before a new or modified gas line is put into use, our team conducts pressure testing and leak checks. We follow manufacturer recommendations and applicable code requirements for testing procedures. Where inspections are needed, we coordinate our work with those steps so your installation meets standards and utility expectations.

Our typical gas line installation steps include:

• Listening to your goals and inspecting existing gas piping
• Explaining options and providing clear, up front pricing
• Scheduling work and arriving on time with needed materials
• Shutting off gas safely and installing or rerouting piping
• Pressure testing, leak checking, and reconnecting appliances
• Coordinating with required inspections and cleaning the workspace

Throughout the process, our safety-conscious plumbers keep you informed about what they are doing and why. Questions are encouraged, and we take the time to explain anything that is unclear. Our aim is that you feel confident turning on your new gas line after we leave.

Safety, Codes, & Peace Of Mind

Most homeowners call us because they want gas work handled safely and correctly the first time. If you have concerns about an existing gas line, it is important to take them seriously. Signs like a rotten egg odor, a hissing sound near a pipe or appliance, or a burner that will not stay lit are reasons to reach out for help.

If you suspect an active gas leak, your first priority should be safety. It is generally wise to leave the home, avoid using electrical switches, and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Once the immediate situation is secure, our team can help assess your gas piping and plan any repairs or replacement that may be needed.

Gas line installation is influenced by fuel gas codes and utility requirements that vary by jurisdiction. In the Iowa City area, appliances, venting, pipe sizing, and materials must meet specific standards. Our plumbers stay current with these rules through training and field experience, and we follow them carefully so your system is set up to work within applicable guidelines.

We use quality piping, fittings, valves, and connectors because they play a direct role in long-term safety and performance. Connections are made with proper support and clear access for future service where possible. By combining proven materials, correct installation techniques, and thorough testing, we work to reduce the risk of leaks and other problems after your project is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I need a new gas line?

You might need a new gas line if you are adding or moving a gas appliance, or if existing piping is damaged, corroded, or not sized correctly. Our plumbers can inspect your system, listen to your plans, and recommend whether repair, extension, or full replacement makes the most sense.

What should I do if I smell gas at home?

If you smell gas, treat it as a safety concern. Leave the building, avoid using lights or electronics, and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe place. After the immediate issue is addressed, our team can help evaluate your piping and perform needed repairs or replacement.

Can your plumbers move a gas line for my remodel?

Yes, we frequently move or extend gas lines during kitchen, basement, and laundry remodels. We review your new layout, plan a route that meets code, and coordinate installation so other parts of your project can stay on track. Our goal is to support your design without sacrificing safety.

How long does gas line installation usually take?

Many residential gas line projects can be completed in a single visit, especially when our plumbers arrive in stocked vans. Larger or more complex work may take longer, particularly if inspections are required. During our initial visit, we explain the expected timeline based on your specific project.

Your home will be visited by licensed, bonded, and insured plumbers employed by Ackerman Plumbing.
