Natural gas serves most Castle Rock homes for heating, cooking, and water heating, and gas line work comes up in several situations: adding a gas line for a new appliance like a range, dryer, or fire pit, repairing a line that has developed a leak, extending existing gas service to a new addition or outdoor kitchen, and decommissioning lines for appliances that are being converted to electric. All of these require a licensed plumber, proper permits through Douglas County or the Town of Castle Rock, and work that is pressure-tested before the gas is turned on. WireNut handles gas line work in Castle Rock with all of this included.

Gas line work for generator installation is coordinated with our electrical team handling the generator project. For gas water heater installation or replacement, the gas connection is handled as part of our water heater replacement service. See the full Castle Rock plumbing services page for everything we offer.

Here are the gas line projects our Castle Rock plumbers handle most often.

What Should I Do If I Smell Gas in My Castle Rock Home?

Leave the home immediately. Do not turn any light switches, appliances, or devices on or off. Do not use your phone until you are outside. Once outside, call your gas provider’s emergency line to report the suspected leak. Xcel Energy serves most of Castle Rock, and their emergency line is available around the clock. After the gas company has assessed the situation and it is safe to return, call WireNut to locate and repair the specific leak in the home’s gas distribution system. Do not attempt to find or repair a gas leak yourself.

Does Gas Line Work in Castle Rock Require a Permit?

Yes. Any new gas line installation, extension, or repair beyond minor fitting replacement requires a permit through Douglas County or the Town of Castle Rock and a pressure test before the line is put into service. WireNut handles the permit application, completes the work, pressure tests the installation, and coordinates the required inspection as part of every gas line project in Castle Rock. Work done without permits on a gas system creates liability issues for the homeowner and leaves the installation without the safety verification that an inspection provides.
