Gas Line Plumbing · Missoula, MT
Gas Line Plumbing in Missoula, MT
Many Missoula homes use natural gas for heat, hot water and cooking. Gas piping is not a do-it-yourself job, and the work should always be inspected.
Request a plumberIf you smell gas
Leave the house, don't operate switches and contact the gas utility's emergency line from outside. Return only when the utility says it's safe. A plumber can then find and repair the leak.
Adding an appliance
A new gas range, dryer, fireplace insert or outdoor grill line means extending the gas piping. The plumber checks that the existing pipe can carry the extra load and sizes the new line correctly.
Older connectors
Some older appliances are connected with flexible connectors that are past their safe life. If you're not sure what's behind your range or dryer, ask the plumber to check during any visit.
Permits and inspection
Gas work normally needs a permit and an inspection. Licensed plumbers handle that paperwork as part of the job; ask about it when you get a quote.
Carbon monoxide
Any home with gas appliances should have working carbon monoxide alarms near sleeping areas. Test them monthly and replace them as their maker recommends.

Outdoor gas lines
A gas line to a grill, patio heater or shop runs underground or along the outside of the house. It has to be the right material, buried at the right depth and protected where it comes out of the ground. In Missoula, frost and snow loads are worth thinking about when choosing the route; ask the plumber to explain theirs.
Before you buy
Check the gas input of the new appliance before you buy it, and share it with the plumber. A large range or tankless heater can need more gas than the existing line carries, which may mean a bigger pipe or a meter change.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a plumber move my gas range?
- Yes. Moving a range usually means extending or rerouting the gas line, which needs a permit and inspection.
- How do I know if my gas line is leaking?
- A smell of rotten eggs, a hissing sound or dead plants over a buried line can all be signs. Leave and contact the gas utility first.
