Our Gas Line Inspection in Katy, TX Service Overview


Historic brick building in downtown Houston

What Is Gas Line Inspection in Katy, TX?

Gas Line Inspection in Katy, TX is a scheduled look at the gas piping you own, from the meter to the appliances. We walk the line, pressure-test it, and write down what we find. It is not leak detection. It is not leak repair. It is not a new install, a replacement, or an appliance hookup.

If you smell gas or think there is a leak, this is not the visit. Leave on foot immediately. Call 911 and CenterPoint. Do not call a plumber first. Do not stay to “confirm” it.

The City of Katy is the AHJ and uses the 2021 International Fuel Gas Code as context only. This page is a non-emergency inspection of customer-owned piping after the line is clear. It is not a permit job.

When you need a check (and when you leave)

Book this inspection when:

  • A buyer or inspector asked for a gas line safety check before a sale (asked for, not a certificate we claim is required)
  • You have older black iron and want corrosion, fittings, and unused or capped lines looked at
  • You suspect unpermitted work and want it inspected, not rewritten as a repair on this visit
  • You want appliance shutoffs, connectors, supports, and clearances checked
  • CSST is present and you want the bonding inspected, not a bonding job sold on this page
  • Leave on foot, then call 911 and CenterPoint, when:
  • You smell gas
  • You hear hissing at a fitting or the meter
  • You have a reason to think the line is leaking right now
  • Inspection is a non-emergency, post-clearance check of customer-owned piping. A leak is a utility and public-safety event.
  • Katy and Greater Houston are typically CenterPoint, not Atmos, and not TGS.

What we inspect

Licensed Master Plumbers inspect the customer-owned piping from the meter to the appliances.

  • Visual, meter to appliance. Supports, clearances, shutoffs, connectors, unused or capped lines, loose fittings, corrosion on older black iron.
  • Unpermitted or improvised work. We note it. We do not turn this visit into a rebuild.
  • CSST bonding, if CSST is there. Inspect only. We do not sell a bonding job here.
  • Appliance connections. We look. We do not reconnect or hook up appliances on this page.
  • We do not list a gas endorsement we do not have on file. We do not claim CenterPoint contractor status. We do not invent a sniffer or manometer brand.

What we document

Pressure test. We pressurize the customer-owned piping, hold it, and document whether the pressure drops. The City of

  • Katy permit sheet mentions a 25 PSI hold for top-out / GTO. That is city-inspector language. It is not an Ory test number, not an SLA, and not a price band.
  • Written findings. What we saw, what held, what did not, and what is out of scope for this visit (repair, replacement, hookup, leak work).
  • Upfront price after we see the access and the run, before we start. No coupon and no invented hours.
  • If the findings say the line needs leak work, a repair, a replacement, or a hookup, that is a later sibling page. This visit stays an inspection.
