Trust Earl’s for Gas Line Pressure Tests in Frisco, TX

f you need to connect gas to a new build or reestablish gas service to a home in Frisco, you’ll no doubt have multiple dealings with Atmos Energy. Before they will agree to supply natural gas to your property, they will almost certainly require you to perform a gas pressure test. This test ensures that the lines are properly connected and calibrated to protect your home from dangerous leaks, pressure spikes, or inefficiencies. 

If you’ve been told that you need gas pressure testing, trust the experts at Earl’s Plumbing! Our professionals are highly trained and licensed to work with gas lines, and we cut no corners in the performance of our duties in your home. Your family’s safety is our top priority. We’ll make sure your plumbing system meets the gas company’s requirements—and our own high standards.

The primary use of a gas pressure test is to make sure your plumbing system is properly holding gas without any leaks. We perform this test after any gas leak repairs we provide to ensure we’ve gotten the job done right. We can also perform it to gain green tag approval from the gas company to turn your gas supply on. 

We’ll start by isolating the plumbing system, closing all shut-off valves connected to the main supply and to your appliances, such as stoves and water heaters. Then, we’ll pressurize the system and watch the gauge for 20–30 minutes to ensure that the pressure remains stable. If we detect any movement on the meter, we know gas is escaping, and will move on to a leak detection and repair process.
