Gas Line Services in Roswell, GA

What happens when you call

The number on this page routes you to an independent plumber who does gas work in Roswell. Expect a few quick questions: what appliance is involved, whether this is a new line or a repair, where the meter is, and whether Atlanta Gas Light has already been out. If AGL found a leak and shut off the meter, the plumber locates the problem on your side, repairs it, and pressure tests the system so the utility can restore service.

For new work, such as a range where there was an electric one, the plumber checks the size of the existing pipe against the total load of every gas appliance in the house before tying in.

Cost factors

• How far the new branch runs and how many walls or floors it crosses
• Whether the trunk line is large enough or must be upsized
• Access through a basement, crawl space or finished ceiling
• Outdoor work for a grill, fire pit or generator
• Trade permit, test and inspection

Roswell conditions

Roswell grew from an 1850s textile mill town into an affluent north Fulton suburb on the Chattahoochee, with a National Register historic district. Fulton County's development authority states that Atlanta Gas Light maintains the area's natural gas infrastructure, and residents choose among competing marketers. No Roswell city gas system exists, so AGL owns the mains and meters.

Census survey data put the median build year at 1989, with about 22% of homes built before 1980. Houses near the historic district and older neighborhoods are where black iron piping with decades of add-ons shows up; homes built later often use flexible tubing. Roswell's building permit application has a plumbing trade option, and each trade needs a subcontractor affidavit, business license and state license, so the plumber handles that paperwork.

Before the plumber arrives

• Clear a path to the meter, water heater, furnace and any appliance involved
• Have the new appliance's model number or spec sheet handy
• Note any AGL tag left on the meter after a leak call
• Know whether the house has a basement, crawl space or slab
• If you smell gas at any point, leave and call AGL and 911 instead of waiting
