How Portland jobs differ
Older Portland neighborhoods often have galvanized service lines or clay sewer laterals from the original build. Different prep, different tools.
If you're calling from a property management company, we have separate scheduling and billing for that.
The actual work
Gas line work is regulated. We pull the permit, do the work, and coordinate the utility inspection before the line goes back into service.
Most-common calls: gas-leak detection after the homeowner smells gas, shut-off valve replacement on a 30+ year old appliance line, and new appliance hookups (range, dryer, water heater, fireplace).
If you smell gas, leave the building, call your gas utility's emergency line first (it's free), and call us second. Don't switch lights on or off, don't use phones inside the building. The utility shuts the meter and confirms the leak is on the customer side. Then we come in, find it, and repair.
Material: black iron is still the standard for hard pipe. Yellow CSST is the flexible alternative — easier to install, but needs proper bonding to prevent lightning strike issues. We do both.

From the books — a recent Portland job
A Portland customer in their 1960s home had been chasing new gas range needed a relocated hookup for weeks before calling. Existing line was on the wrong wall for the new layout was the actual cause. We ran a new black iron stub-out and coordinated the utility inspection; everything stable since. About $420 all in.
