Gas Line Repair & Installation in Beaverton, Oregon
Gas line work requires a licensed plumber, proper permits, and pressure testing before the gas goes back on. True Flow Plumbing PDX handles gas line repair, new line runs, and appliance connections throughout Beaverton — safely, permitted, and inspected.
Gas Line Service in Beaverton
Beaverton's mix of housing ages creates varied gas line needs. Cedar Hills and Raleigh Hills homes from the 1950s–1960s have original gas infrastructure that sometimes needs repair or upgrading when appliances are replaced. Murrayhill and Bethany homes from the 1990s–2000s more commonly need gas line additions for new appliances — a gas range where there was electric before, or a tankless water heater upgrade that requires larger gas supply capacity.
🔧 Gas Leak Repair
If you smell gas, leave the house and call NW Natural first. Once the supply is shut off, we locate the source of the leak, repair or replace the affected section, pressure-test the system, and coordinate the gas-on inspection.
🍳 New Gas Line Runs
Adding gas service to a kitchen range, dryer, fireplace, or outdoor appliance where there's no existing line — we run the line, pull the permit, and schedule the inspection.
🔥 Appliance Connections
Connecting a new gas range, dryer, water heater, or fireplace insert to an existing gas supply — flexible connector installation and shutoff valve placement.
📈 Gas Supply Upgrades
Tankless water heaters and high-BTU ranges often require larger gas supply lines than what existing infrastructure can deliver. We upgrade the supply line to meet the demand safely.
🏠 Aging Line Replacement
Older Beaverton homes have gas lines that have been in the ground for decades — corroded fittings, outdated flexible connectors, and undersized supply lines are all worth addressing proactively.
📋 Pressure Testing
All gas line work is pressure-tested before the system is re-pressurized with gas — this is non-negotiable and required by code. We never skip this step.
Gas Safety — What to Do in Beaverton If You Smell Gas
- Leave the house immediately — don't turn lights on or off, don't use your phone inside
- Leave the door open as you exit — don't waste time closing it
- Call NW Natural's emergency line from outside or from a neighbor's home
- Do not re-enter until NW Natural has confirmed it's safe
- Call us after NW Natural has secured the supply — we locate and repair the leak
- Never try to find or repair a gas leak yourself
Beaverton Neighborhoods We Serve
Licensed, Permitted, Pressure-Tested
Gas is the one plumbing system where “handy” isn't good enough, and it's worth knowing who is actually allowed to touch it. True Flow Plumbing PDX is a licensed Oregon plumbing contractor, CCB #200212, and every gas job we run in Beaverton follows the same sequence:
- Permit pulled before work starts — not after, and not skipped
- Correct pipe sizing for the BTU load — undersized supply is the most common mistake we get called out to correct
- Pressure test before gas returns — required by code, and we never wave it through
- City inspection scheduled and met — we're there for it, you don't have to be
- NW Natural coordination for shut-off and gas-on when the job requires it
If another contractor quotes gas work without mentioning a permit or a pressure test, that's your signal to keep calling.
What Gas Line Work Costs in Beaverton
We quote gas line work after seeing it — pipe size, run length, permit scope and how far the appliance sits from the meter all change the number, so an over-the-phone figure would be a guess. Estimates are free. Our published labor rates are the same in Beaverton as everywhere else we work:
- Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm — $185/hour + parts & materials
- Mon–Fri, before 8am or after 4pm — $462.50 minimum (call-out + first hour), then $185/hour
- Saturday & Sunday, all day — $462.50 minimum (call-out + first hour), then $185/hour
Permit fees are set by the city and passed through at cost — we don't mark them up. We publish these rates because most plumbers won't, and you shouldn't have to book a visit to find out what an hour costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a gas leak in my Beaverton home?
Natural gas has a sulfur (rotten egg) smell added specifically so leaks can be detected. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately — don't flip any switches or use your phone inside. Once outside, call your gas utility (NW Natural) to shut off the supply, then call us to locate and repair the leak. Never try to find or fix a gas leak yourself.
Do you need a permit for gas line work in Beaverton?
Yes — any gas line work beyond connecting a flexible appliance connector requires a permit in Beaverton and throughout Oregon. We pull the permit, do the work, and schedule the inspection. The permit process protects you — it ensures the work is pressure-tested and inspected by the city before gas is turned back on.
Can you add a gas line for a new appliance in Beaverton?
Yes. Running a new gas line for a range, dryer, tankless water heater, fireplace, generator, or outdoor grill is a common job we do in Beaverton. We assess your existing gas supply pressure and pipe size to confirm it can support the new load — some appliances, particularly whole-home tankless water heaters, require a supply line upgrade to meet the BTU demand.
Are you licensed to work on natural gas lines in Oregon?
Yes. True Flow Plumbing PDX is a licensed Oregon plumbing contractor, CCB #200212. Gas line work is permitted, pressure-tested, and inspected — we pull the permit, perform the pressure test before any gas is restored, and meet the city inspector on site. Gas is not a category where you should accept unpermitted work, from us or anyone else.
How much does gas line work cost in Beaverton?
It depends on pipe size, run length, permit scope, and how far the appliance sits from the meter, so we quote after seeing the job rather than guessing over the phone. Estimates are free. Labor is $185/hour plus parts and materials Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Outside those hours and on weekends there's a $462.50 minimum covering call-out and the first hour, then $185/hour. Permit fees are passed through at cost.
Do you repair gas furnaces or gas heaters?
No — furnace and heater repair is HVAC work, and we don't do it. What we do is everything on the gas side: running and sizing the supply line to a heater, replacing corroded or undersized pipe, installing shutoff valves, connecting the appliance, and pressure-testing the system. If your heater itself has failed, you want an HVAC contractor. If the gas getting to it is the problem, that's us.
Can you run a gas line to a garage, shop, or outdoor appliance?
Yes. Garage and shop heaters, outdoor grills, fire pits, and patio heaters are all common gas line runs in Beaverton. The main thing we check first is whether your existing meter and supply line can carry the additional BTU load — adding a high-demand appliance to a supply that's already near capacity is how homes end up with appliances that underperform for no obvious reason.
How long does a gas line job take in Beaverton?
A straightforward appliance connection to an existing, correctly sized line is usually a same-day job. A new line run — through a crawlspace, up a wall, or out to a detached garage — is more often a full day, plus the wait for the city inspection before gas is restored. We schedule the inspection as soon as the work passes pressure test so the gap is as short as Beaverton's inspection calendar allows.
