FAQs
What commercial gas piping services do you offer in Luttrell?
We provide complete turnkey solutions for businesses, including new gas line design, pipe sizing, installation, pressure testing, leak detection, equipment hookups (boilers, ovens, dryers, generators, HVAC), and retrofits of existing systems. We also handle code compliance inspections, annual maintenance, and 24/7 emergency repairs throughout Luttrell and the surrounding Union County area.
Are your gas piping installations compliant with Tennessee and local Luttrell codes?
Absolutely. Our licensed master plumbers follow the 2021 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) as adopted by the State of Tennessee, along with Union County amendments and any site-specific requirements imposed by Luttrell’s building department or local utility. We obtain all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and supply detailed as-built drawings, ensuring your project passes on the first review.
How do you ensure safety during a commercial gas piping project?
Safety is our top priority. We start with hazard assessments and job-specific safety plans, utilize only ASTM-approved materials, and employ certified brazers/welders where required. During installation we conduct incremental pressure tests with calibrated gauges, perform soap-bubble and electronic leak detection, and lock out equipment until utilities sign off. All technicians carry combustible-gas monitors, and our foremen are OSHA-30 certified.
Can you upgrade or convert my business from propane to natural gas?
Yes. We coordinate with Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) or your local supplier to bring natural gas service to your building, size the new meter, and re-pipe or sleeve existing lines as needed. We also convert orifice sizes on appliances, verify BTU loads, and file the necessary conversion paperwork. Your downtime is minimized because we schedule the switchover outside peak business hours whenever possible.
What type of maintenance plan do you recommend for commercial gas piping systems?
For most restaurants, manufacturing plants, and multi-tenant facilities in Luttrell, we recommend an annual inspection that includes: visual pipe checks for corrosion or stress, appliance connector evaluation, regulator pressure tests, valve exercise, and combustion-air verification. High-demand or critical facilities (e.g., hospitals, data centers) should schedule semiannual checks. A documented maintenance plan lowers liability, reduces energy waste, and extends equipment life.
What should I do if I suspect a gas leak at my commercial property?
First, evacuate staff and customers, then call 911 and your gas utility to shut off service. Once the area is secure, contact our 24/7 emergency line. Our rapid-response team will arrive with detection equipment, isolate and repair the leak, perform pressure certification, and restore service only when the system is proven safe. We also provide a post-incident report to satisfy insurance and regulatory requirements.
