    Replacing and disconnecting gas pipes.
    Hi,

    I have an old natural gas line coming into my house for the dryer, stove and for heat. It also has a number of branches that I think must have supplied outdoor lighting. Over time I pland to be doing work in the walls, remodling, drilling etc. I think it would be bad to run into one of the pipes that are still connected. I doubt this is something I should handle myself, but I don't even know who to call. Does this fall under a plumbers skill set?

    Thanks
    Gerry

    Hi Gerry,
    While it's possible for a DIY home owner to work on his own gas line if you leave a leak it's not as simple as a puddle of water. You could blow the house all the way to the moon. This time it's safer to call in a pro. Good luck, Tom
