A new line for a range, a fire pit or a pool heater. A leak that needs finding before it needs fixing. We match Wasatch Front homeowners with a licensed contractor who sizes the run properly and proves it holds pressure before anyone calls it done.
Not the appliance itself. Just the pipe that gets gas to it safely, sized for what it actually has to carry.
Five kinds of work that make up most gas line calls — from a new range to a leak that needs finding, not guessing at.
Every new gas appliance changes the demand on whatever line feeds it, which is why a new range or a pool heater isn't automatically fine just because a line runs nearby. Sizing the branch for what it actually has to carry is most of the job.

Learn more →A meter feeds everything on the property, and every branch off the main run competes for the same capacity. Sizing the whole path, not just the last few feet to an appliance, is what keeps every appliance on the line performing the way it's supposed to.
Learn more →An unused gas line left capped incorrectly is a liability sitting behind a wall, not a solved problem. Capping it properly, and putting a shutoff where one should have been in the first place, is quick work that gets skipped more often than it should.
Learn more →Sizing is math done before anything is dug or run — total demand and run length, not a guess based on what pipe was already lying around. A pressure test afterward is the only real proof the finished line doesn't leak.

A new appliance, a suspected leak, a line to cap — tell us what it is and roughly how far it has to run.
Someone qualified to size the run, open a wall or slab if needed, and test the finished line before signing off on it.
You get a line sized for the actual demand on it, not just tapped into whatever is closest, and proof it holds pressure before it's covered up.
A lot of the calls we see start with a homeowner wanting one more thing on gas — a fire pit for the patio, a heater for the pool, a range replacing an electric one in the kitchen. The instinct is to tap into whatever line is closest, and sometimes that works. Just as often it does not, because the existing line was sized years ago for exactly what it was feeding then, not for one more appliance added on top.
Line sizing depends on the total demand of everything on that run and how long the run is, which is why a contractor asks what else is already piped before quoting a new branch. A new appliance frequently needs its own properly sized line back toward the meter rather than a splice into an undersized existing one — it costs more up front than a quick tap-in and avoids an appliance that never quite gets full pressure once everything else on the line is running too.
Gas 801 covers the piping: new lines, leak detection and repair, meter-to-appliance runs, shutoff valves, capping and relocating lines, sediment traps and pressure testing. We do not repair or replace furnaces, service AC systems or thermostats, work on water heaters, or touch water plumbing — those are separate licensed trades with their own sites answering the same phone system, and if that's what you actually need, you'll be pointed there rather than having someone show up for the wrong job.
Gas piping work in Utah requires a licensed contractor, full stop — this isn't a scope a handyman or a generalist should be doing regardless of how simple a run looks. And if what's actually going on is a smell of gas, a hiss near a line, or a detector sounding, that's not a call to schedule — leave the building and call the gas utility or 911 from outside, before you call us about anything.
Salt Lake, Utah, Davis and Weber counties.
Leave the building immediately and call the gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside — do not call us first, and do not go back in to look for the source or turn anything off. This applies to hissing near a line or appliance and a sounding detector as well as a smell. Once the situation is confirmed safe, a licensed contractor can find and repair the actual leak.
Sometimes, but it depends on the total demand already on that line and how long the run is — it isn't automatic just because a line happens to run nearby. A significant new appliance like a range or a pool heater often needs its own properly sized branch rather than a tap into a line that was sized for what it already carries. A contractor sizes this before running anything.
No. Gas 801 covers the piping — running lines to appliances, leak detection and repair, meter-to-appliance runs, capping and pressure testing. We do not service the appliances themselves. Furnace repair and replacement, AC and thermostats, and water heaters are handled by separate licensed sites on the same phone system, and we'll point you there if that's what you actually need.
A closed valve still has full line pressure sitting against it and can be reopened by accident or by someone who doesn't know what it is. A proper cap seals the line for good, rated to hold pressure indefinitely, which removes that risk entirely rather than depending on a valve staying where it was left.
Yes. Gas piping work in Utah requires a licensed contractor, and that's who gets matched to every job through this site — we're a referral service and don't send our own crew. That applies to a small line to a fire pit just as much as a full meter-to-appliance run.
Describe the appliance and the run, and we'll match you with a licensed contractor who sizes it properly.
