Our team includes licensed journeyman plumbers who are trained and authorized to handle gas line work.

🔻Raptor Rooter & Plumbing is a family-owned company that has served the Spokane area since 2017. Because we live and work here, we understand the mix of older homes, rentals, and commercial buildings that often come with legacy gas lines. Our residential division and our RC Mechanical commercial team allow us to handle everything from a single capped line in a kitchen to larger gas line changes in commercial spaces.

🔻We know that gas concerns do not always happen during normal business hours. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency services and same-day appointments when scheduling allows. If your remodel is on a tight timeline or you are concerned about a line that may be active, you can reach us quickly so the issue does not delay other work or create extra stress.

🔻Unexpected gas line projects can affect your budget. We provide free estimates before work begins and maintain honest, up front communication about what we see and what it will take to complete the job.

We also back our services with warranties, so you know we stand behind the quality of our gas line and plumbing work.

Advanced diagnostic tools help us plan and carry out gas-related work efficiently. When gas line removal is connected to broader plumbing or piping concerns, we may use camera or video inspections in related drain or sewer lines to understand the overall layout. This approach allows us to recommend practical options that fit your property instead of guessing behind walls or underground.

Our Gas Line Removal Process in Spokane

Clear information about the process can make gas line work feel much less intimidating. When you contact Raptor Rooter & Plumbing, we start by listening to what you are trying to accomplish. You can tell us about your remodel, appliance change, or concern about an old line, and we will schedule a time for a licensed journeyman plumber to visit your Spokane property and provide a free estimate.

At the appointment, our plumber will locate the gas line in question, identify where it ties into the rest of your gas system, and check for access points. We explain what we find in plain language, including whether the line is active, how it is routed, and what options you have. You will know what work we recommend and why before anything begins.

When it is time to perform the gas line removal or capping, we follow a step by step process that is designed for safety and clarity.

Here is how we typically handle gas line removal or capping:

• Confirming the plan so you understand what portions of the line will be removed or capped and how this affects any connected appliances or fixtures.
• Shutting off and isolating gas service to the section that will be worked on, using proper valves and verification methods.
• Removing or capping the piping using approved materials and methods that are appropriate for that type of gas piping.
• Testing the system after the work is complete to check that the remaining gas system is holding pressure as expected.
• Walking you through the results so you know what was done, where the line now ends, and what has changed at the appliance or fixture location.

If your gas line work is part of a larger project such as a kitchen remodel or tenant improvement, we coordinate our schedule with yours as much as possible. We can often plan visits around other trades so your contractor is not left waiting for the gas work to be finished. For businesses, we aim to limit disruption by scheduling during off hours when possible.

Throughout the process, we keep communication straightforward. If our plumber uncovers an unexpected condition, such as additional connected branches or older piping that should be addressed, we explain it clearly and discuss your options before moving forward. This helps you avoid surprise costs and gives you control over decisions that affect your property.

Reclaiming Your Space: Why Removing Old Gas Lines Makes Sense

Many homeowners in our area are opting to switch from gas ranges to induction cooktops or moving away from gas-fired fireplaces to create a more open floor plan. When these changes happen, the remaining pipes can become physical obstacles in your basement, crawlspace, or behind your walls. By investing in professional gas line removal in Spokane, you are effectively reclaiming square footage and removing potential trip hazards or obstructions. This is especially important during basement finishing projects where every inch of ceiling height and wall space counts. We help you clear the way for your vision by removing these "fossil" pipes that no longer serve a purpose in your modern home.

Beyond the physical space, there is a significant safety benefit to gas line removal that Spokane residents should consider. An active gas line that is no longer connected to an appliance is a potential point of failure. If a line is accidentally damaged during a future DIY project or a separate repair, it could lead to a hazardous leak. By removing the line entirely back to the main branch, we eliminate that risk entirely. This proactive approach to home maintenance is part of what we call making your plumbing and gas issues extinct. It is about simplifying your home’s infrastructure so that it only contains what you actually use and need.

Gas Safety & Local Considerations in Spokane

Gas systems in the Spokane area see heavy use during long, cold winters, especially for heating and hot water. Over time, older piping, fittings, and valves can wear, and past modifications may not meet current standards. When lines are no longer needed, removing or properly capping them can be an important part of keeping your system in good condition.

Our plumbers follow the fuel gas and building code requirements that apply in Spokane and surrounding communities. While specific permitting and inspection steps depend on the scope of work and jurisdiction, we complete gas line work with those standards in mind so your property is positioned to satisfy any required inspections. During your estimate, we can explain how code requirements may apply to your particular project.

In many homes and small commercial buildings, gas lines run alongside other piping and utilities. We use our diagnostic experience and, when relevant, camera inspections of related plumbing to understand how everything fits together. This approach allows us to plan efficient gas line removal that respects other systems in your walls, floors, and ceilings and helps reduce the need for unnecessary demolition.

If you suspect an active gas leak, such as smelling gas or hearing a hissing sound, your first priority should be safety. It is generally recommended to leave the area, avoid creating sparks, and contact your gas utility or emergency services. Once the immediate situation is addressed, our 24/7 team can help evaluate the system, repair issues, and handle any needed gas line removal or capping so you can move forward safely.
