Gas Piping Service & Inspection Support
Gas piping work is licensed, permitted, and inspected. That isn't bureaucracy — it's the part that keeps it safe.
SAFETY FIRST: if you smell gas right now, stop reading. Evacuate the area, don't operate switches or use a phone indoors, and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line from outside. The utility responds to suspected leaks. A plumber is who you call afterwards for the repair. Nothing on this page substitutes for that.
What we do here is the planned work: gas piping repairs and modifications, service for commercial kitchen and heating equipment connections, and support for the periodic gas piping inspections that buildings in this city are required to arrange. Those inspections must be carried out by appropriately licensed personnel and documented, and the resulting reports are filed with the relevant authority.
We'll be clear about scope. We perform licensed gas piping work and can carry out and document inspections within our licence. We do not set the requirements, we can't tell you your building's filing deadline better than the agency can, and we won't publish do-it-yourself guidance for this trade under any circumstances.

What drives the number
We quote after diagnosis, not before. These are the factors that move the number most on this service:
- SCOPEInspection and documentation versus corrective piping work.
- SIZEBuilding size and the extent of accessible gas piping to be inspected.
- ACCESSWhether piping runs are reachable or require access arrangements with tenants.
- CORRECTIONSWhat an inspection turns up that has to be addressed.
- PERMITSFiling and inspection requirements for any corrective work.
Scope & compliance
Gas piping work and periodic inspections require appropriate licensure, and requirements, cycles, and filing procedures are set by city agencies and do change. We work within our licence and prepare documentation, but you should confirm your building's specific obligations and deadlines with the relevant agency rather than relying on any contractor's summary, ours included.

Frequently asked
What do we do if someone smells gas?
Evacuate, don't operate any electrical switches, and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line from outside the building. The utility handles emergency response and makes the situation safe. Call a plumber afterwards for the repair — not instead, and not first.
Who can perform a periodic gas piping inspection?
It requires appropriate licensure, and the scope and documentation are defined by the authority. Ask any provider to confirm their licence before booking. We'll tell you exactly what falls within our licence and what doesn't, rather than implying we cover more than we do.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
Conditions identified typically have to be corrected within a defined timeframe, and corrective piping work is permitted and inspected. We'll give you the findings in writing, quote the corrective work separately, and tell you what your timeline looks like based on what the report says.
Can we run our own gas piping and have you connect it?
No. Gas piping is licensed work, and we won't connect to or certify a run we didn't install and can't vouch for. If existing piping was permitted and inspected, that's different — we can work with documented existing installations.
Do you handle the filing?
We prepare inspection documentation in the expected form. Building ownership or management is typically the filing party of record. We'll be explicit about what we're providing and what remains yours to submit so nothing falls between us.
