Gas is the one part of your home you can’t guess around with and hope for the best. A water leak leaves a mess. That’s annoying. But a gas leak’s a whole different animal; Texas puts real rules around who can even check on the status of a gas line. Royal Plumbing has been working on gas lines in the Coastal Bend for years, and we make sure every gas line job is run by a licensed plumber. They know what to do, but also, they know what not to do. With gas lines, you can’t really just hope for the best, so this matters.
We repair and replace gas lines, pressure test systems, inspect gas lines, and add new gas line runs for your grills, patios, hot tubs, and everything in between.

The big question, how do you know if there’s a gas line problem in Corpus? Here are the classic signs, and you need to be on the lookout (or keep your nose on alert) for them.
If you’re experiencing even one of these signs, leave the house, don’t flip any switches, call CCGAS & 911, followed by Royal Plumbing. Once everything’s declared safe, we move in and do our thing.
Gas line troubles in the Coastal Bend usually pop up for a few reasons: high humidity speeding up the rust, corrosive soil, and the ever-present ground shifts that put stress on the line. Add to that older Corpus homes, where older piping’s always corroding, and you have a recipe for a hazardous situation.
When you think you have an issue, Royal Plumbing pinpoints the issue to find the break exactly where it is before a dig. We only replace what’s broken. If there’s an isolated leak and the pipe’s not that old, a simple spot repair will probably do. But if your gas line’s much older, corroded all over, or has even partially collapsed, gas line replacement in Corpus Christi, TX, is mandatory.
Ready to get your gas lines in order? Royal Plumbing has been helping Corpus Christians all over nail all of their gas line needs. Remember, gas line work is fragile and needs the deft hands and keen eyes of a pro. Royal Plumbing techs have been handling them for years. If you’re concerned about gas lines or looking to install brand new ones, don’t hesitate to reach out!
If you smell a strong gas odor (like rotten eggs), don’t try to find any leak yourself, don’t waste any time. What you need to do is get everyone out of the house ASAP, don’t flip any light switches, call 911/Corpus Christi Gas (CCGAS) and then call Royal Plumbing once the area’s been declared safe. We can move forward with gas line fixes when you’re ready.
Yes, absolutely. Running outdoor gas lines for pool heaters, outdoor kitchens, patio grills, fire pits, and backup generators is a flagship service our crew performs each and every week. Our licensed plumbers calculate the correct line size for whatever your equipment is, install them, and the pressure test to see if everything’s good to go.
No. Texas needs you to have a license to even work with gas lines.The risks are serious. We know how attractive DIY options for home improvement are, but this is where you should count on the experts. It’s purely out of safety and keeping things up to code. Any new gas line work needs a permit and a subsequent safety inspection, which the city only issues to licensed pros.
