Gas Line Installation, Calgary

The City of Calgary does require plumbing permits for plumbing work and a permit for services such as gas line installation. Calgary homeowners don't have to worry about dealing with that though—in fact, homeowners are not allowed to apply for a gas permit as it must be done by a licensed contractor. We have decades of combined experience with permit requirements, building codes and other regulations in Calgary and Alberta, so we know exactly what we need to do to secure the appropriate permits and we will take care of that on your behalf.

While we're on the topic, it's worth noting that Calgary property owners can trust our team to always meet or exceed provincial and municipal building codes, safety regulations, and other requirements. We value safety in the workplace and understand how important it is that your installation is handled correctly for the safety of your household and to produce outstanding quality work that will last for years to come.

Sometimes homeowners aren't totally sure if they need a replacement gas line installation. Calgary residential and commercial properties may display a number of warning signs that indicate a replacement is due—or possibly long overdue—and if you know the symptoms of a damaged or deteriorated line, you can call a licensed plumber at Mr. Rooter before the problems get out of control or pose a hazard to the safety of your family.

Major warning signs to be aware of include:

• Sulfurous odors that smell like rotten eggs
• Visible cracks or holes in the piping
• A hissing sound like air escaping a small hole
• Malfunctioning gas appliances
• Corrosion such as rust visible on lines or fittings
• Increased costs on your energy bill

This is actually a common misconception. A carbon monoxide alarm will not alert you to a natural gas leak, because carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the incomplete combustion of natural gas. It's colorless, odorless and tasteless, so it can be very difficult to detect. You should definitely have carbon monoxide detectors in case of a malfunctioning appliance that does produce carbon monoxide, but it won't help with a leak. However, natural gas has a strong, sulfuric odor added to it and that is usually the best indication of a leak.
