Natural gas in the Las Vegas Valley is supplied by Southwest Gas, and the piping on your side of the meter is the property owner's responsibility. That piping feeds water heaters, furnaces, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, pool heaters and outdoor kitchens. Gas work calls for a licensed contractor, a permit where the local plumbing code requires one, and a pressure test before the system goes back into service. Active Plumbing has done this work since 1991 as a fourth-generation family business.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair locates the leak with gas detection equipment and pressure testing, then repairs or replaces the failed section. Gas Line Installation runs new piping for an appliance or a new main line, and Gas Line Rerouting & Upsizing moves lines for a remodel or enlarges them when a tankless water heater or added appliances need more gas than the existing pipe can carry. Outdoor Gas Line Installation brings gas to grills, fire pits, patio heaters and pool heaters, with burial depth and routing planned around the yard. A Gas Safety Inspection checks visible piping, connectors, shutoff valves and appliance connections.
You get a written price before work starts. Trenching through caliche, the cemented hardpan found across much of the valley, is slower and costs more than digging in soft ground, and we say so when a run crosses it. Permits are filed with the building department for your address, and we coordinate with Southwest Gas when the meter or service needs attention.
If you smell gas, leave the building, do not use switches or flames, and call Southwest Gas from outside. For gas line work, call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357.
