Gas Line Services in Powder Springs, GA

Things that point to a gas issue

• A sulfur odor in the house. Leave first. Call from outside.
• A hiss near the meter or a buried line entering the house
• Burner flames that are yellow or uneven
• Soot or scorch marks near appliance vents
• A pilot light that goes out repeatedly
• A sudden change in your gas usage

The odor is the one sign that calls for leaving right away. The others deserve a plumber visit soon, since small leaks at fittings rarely fix themselves and can worsen as pipes expand and contract with the seasons.

Gas service in Powder Springs

Powder Springs is a southwest Cobb city named for its seven springs, with a small downtown ringed by subdivisions built mostly since the 1980s. Its gas does not come from Atlanta Gas Light. The Austell Gas System, the municipal system owned by the City of Austell, lists Powder Springs as a served city, and its franchise area includes territory granted by Powder Springs. Leaks go to Austell Gas at 770-948-1841, option 1, or 911.

The homes are mostly newer. Census survey data put the median build year at 1996, with about 15% built before 1980. That means many houses have flexible stainless tubing that needs a bonding connection, plus older black iron in the original downtown area.

The City of Powder Springs requires permits for all new structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or gas work, residential or commercial. Its Community Development office is at 4483 Pineview Drive.

Because Austell Gas, not AGL, owns the meter and service line here, any work that touches the meter itself, such as a meter upgrade for a big new load, is coordinated with Austell Gas. A plumber can tell you when that step is needed.

Cost depends on

• How far the line runs from the meter
• Whether the existing piping can take another appliance
• Access through a crawl space, basement or finished space
• Outdoor runs for a grill or generator
• Permit and inspection
