Gas work requires a permit and inspection
Miami-Dade requires a permit and final inspection for gas line work through the local building department, which confirms the line is safe before it is used.

Gas Line Repair in Miami
A suspected gas leak, a new appliance connection, or a line extension gets handled with pressure testing and permitting, never treated as routine plumbing work.
- Pressure-tested before any line goes back into service
- Permitted through the local building department
- New appliance connections and repairs both handled
What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave the property, do not operate any electrical switches on your way out, and call your gas utility’s emergency line from a safe distance before calling a plumber. Gas leaks are a safety issue first, a plumbing issue second.
Once the utility has confirmed the property is safe, a licensed line repair addresses the actual source, whether that is a fitting, an aging line, or a connection at an appliance, followed by a pressure test before anything is used again.
That sequence, safety first, diagnosis second, repair and testing last, is not optional or negotiable on gas work the way it might be discussed for a simple leak somewhere else in the house. Every step exists because the margin for error with gas is genuinely smaller than with a water line, and treating it with anything less than that seriousness is not a shortcut worth taking.
What we handle
Gas line work we do
Every job on this list is permitted and pressure-tested before it is considered finished.
New appliance gas connections
Ranges, dryers, water heaters and outdoor grills connected to code, with the line pressure-tested afterward.
Line repair after a suspected leak
Handled only after the utility has confirmed it is safe to proceed, then repaired and re-tested.
Line extension for a new fixture
Extending an existing gas line to a new appliance location, permitted through the local building department.
Regulator and shut-off valve service
Checked as part of any gas work to confirm the whole system, not just the new connection, is functioning correctly.
Suspected leak from an older or unused line
A line that has sat unused for years is checked and pressure-tested the same way a new connection would be before anything is put back into service. That step alone rules out a slow leak before it becomes a real problem.
Local factor
Permitting is not optional here
Miami-Dade treats gas work with the same seriousness we do.
Propane is common outside natural-gas areas
Large parts of South Florida run on propane rather than piped natural gas, so a gas line job here often starts with confirming which fuel and tank setup a property actually has before any work begins.
Frequently asked
About gas line work
Is it safe to smell a small amount of gas near an appliance?
No amount of gas odor should be treated as normal. If you smell gas anywhere, leave the property and call your utility’s emergency line first.
Do you work on both natural gas and propane?
Yes, both fuel types are handled.
How long does a new appliance gas connection take?
Most standard connections are completed in a single visit, with pressure testing included before the appliance is put into use.
Can you extend an existing line to a new outdoor kitchen or grill?
Yes, that is a common request, and it is permitted and pressure-tested the same as any other gas line extension.
Do I need a permit just to reconnect an appliance I disconnected myself?
Reconnecting a gas appliance is exactly the kind of work that should go through a licensed plumber and, where required, a permit -- a mis-seated connection is not something to guess at.
How quickly can you respond to a suspected gas issue?
Once the utility has confirmed the property is safe, dispatch treats a gas line repair as a priority call rather than routine scheduling.
