Smyrna is split between two gas utilities, so if you smell gas, leave first and call 911, then Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 or the Austell Gas System at 770-948-1841 (option 1), whichever is on your gas bill. Repairs and new lines past the meter are plumber work, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Smyrna.
What happens when you call
Calling the number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who handles gas piping around Smyrna. They will ask which gas utility serves the house, what appliance or problem is involved, and whether the utility has already locked the meter. Because Smyrna has two gas utilities, knowing which one is yours matters if the meter needs to be turned back on or upgraded.
From there, the plumber either finds and fixes a leak on your side of the meter or plans a new branch, then pressure tests the work before gas goes back in.
Gas work in Smyrna's older ranch houses often turns up a branch that was extended from a small line long ago. If a new range or tankless heater is planned, the plumber totals every appliance's demand first.
What sets the cost
- Length of the run and how it reaches the appliance
- Whether existing pipe can carry another load
- Crawl space, basement or slab access
- Coordination with AGL or Austell Gas for meter work
- Permit and inspection by the city
