In Hiram, a gas smell means getting outside, then calling 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from a safe spot; confirm the pipe utility on your gas bill. New appliance lines, repairs past the meter and pressure tests are plumber jobs, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Hiram.

When to suspect a problem
- A sulfur smell indoors. Get out. Do not try to find the leak yourself.
- A whistling noise at a valve or connector
- Burners that light slowly or burn orange
- Soot on a water heater or furnace
- A grill or fire pit line that loses pressure
- Gas use that keeps climbing
The smell means leave. Everything else means call a plumber soon.
Gas in Hiram
Hiram is a small, quickly growing city in south Paulding County, about 23 miles from Atlanta. Its population rose from 1,361 in 2000 to 4,929 in 2020. Atlanta Gas Light owns and maintains the natural gas pipes across its metro territory, and customers buy gas from a certificated marketer. AGL coverage has not been checked address by address, so your bill is the place to confirm who owns your pipes.
Most homes are recent. Census survey data put the median build year at 2004, though about a quarter predate 1980. Newer houses often have flexible stainless tubing and higher-demand appliances, while older homes along the main roads may still have black iron runs.
Hiram does not issue its own building permits. The city sends them to Paulding County's building and permitting division, which handles plumbing permits from its office on Constitution Boulevard in Dallas.
Price factors
- Distance from the meter to the appliance or outdoor fixture
- Slab, crawl space or basement routing
- Upsizing a trunk line that is too small for a new load
- Trenching for yard lines
- County permit and inspection
What the call involves
The number on this page links you with an independent plumber who works in the Hiram area. Explain what you need, whether that is a line to a new range, a grill hookup or a repair after the utility found a leak. Mention that permits go through Paulding County, and the plumber will handle it from there.
If you are adding several appliances over time, ask the plumber to size the main line for the full plan now rather than extending it piecemeal later. A single correctly sized trunk with branches is easier to inspect, easier to shut off in sections and less likely to starve one appliance when several run at once on a cold morning.
