📞 (281) 829-9828Residential Gas Line Inspection
We inspect the full residential gas line system — from the meter connection through every branch line to the appliance shutoff valves. We check pipe condition, fittings, supports, clearances, and any visible signs of corrosion or damage.
Pre-Sale & Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying or selling a Katy home? A gas line inspection protects both sides of the transaction. We document the condition of the system clearly — giving buyers confidence and sellers the chance to address any issues before they become negotiating problems.
Gas Pressure Testing
A pressure test is the most reliable way to confirm a gas line holds without leaks. We pressurize the line, monitor for any drop, and document the results. This is required after new installations and replacements — and is a valuable diagnostic tool for existing systems.
Post-Installation Inspection
After any gas line installation or repair, we conduct a full inspection of the completed work before restoring gas service. This confirms that every connection is properly made, the line is leak-free, and the installation meets code — protecting you and your household.
Code Compliance Review
If you’ve had work done on your home’s gas system at some point in the past — especially without permits — we can review the existing installation against current Texas Fuel Gas Code requirements and let you know what, if anything, needs to be addressed.
Annual Safety Inspection
An annual gas line check-up is a proactive way to catch developing issues before they become emergencies. We recommend periodic inspections especially for homes with older iron pipe systems, appliances that run frequently, or gas lines that haven’t been evaluated in several years.

Gas Line Inspection FAQs — Katy, TX
How often should a residential gas line be inspected?
There’s no universal code-required schedule for routine residential inspections, but we recommend having your gas system evaluated every few years — and definitely before buying a home, after major renovations, or if you haven’t had anyone look at the system in a long time. Older homes with iron pipe systems benefit from more frequent attention.
What does a gas line inspection include?
We check the visible portions of the gas line system — pipe condition, fittings, supports, clearances, shutoff valves, and appliance connections — and perform a pressure test to confirm the line holds. We’ll also note any code compliance issues we observe and explain what they mean for your home.
Do I need a gas line inspection when buying a home in Katy?
It’s not required, but it’s a wise investment. A standard home inspection often gives the gas system only a cursory look. A licensed plumber who specializes in gas can evaluate the system in much more detail — and identify things a general inspector might not catch.
What happens if something is found during the inspection?
We explain exactly what we found, what it means, and what options exist to address it. If repairs are needed, we provide a separate written estimate — there’s no obligation and no pressure to make a decision on the spot.
Can you inspect gas lines that aren’t currently in use?
Yes. If a gas line has been capped off, disconnected from appliances, or hasn’t been used in years, we can evaluate its condition and let you know whether it’s safe to return to service — and what, if anything, would need to be done first.
If you haven’t had your home’s gas lines inspected recently — or you’re buying or selling a Katy home — Ory’s Plumbing is ready to help. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your system’s condition, explain anything we find in plain language, and let you decide what to do next — no pressure.
