Gas Piping Services

Gas line work isn't optional DIY territory — a botched gas connection is a life-safety issue, and Ohio requires licensed contractors for a reason. JD's Plumbing handles:

  • New gas line installation — for ranges, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, outdoor grills, fire pits, pool heaters, and standby generators
  • Gas line extension — adding a new branch off an existing line
  • Gas line repair and replacement — leaks, corroded pipe, and outdated galvanized runs
  • Pressure testing — required for code compliance on any new gas work
  • Gas shutoff valve installation — at each appliance for safety and easier future service

Every gas line we install is pressure-tested and code-compliant. No shortcuts, no exceptions.

Excavation & Sewer Main Replacement

When a sewer main fails, it's usually not a repair — it's a replacement. JD's Plumbing handles the full scope:

  1. Video camera inspection to locate the exact problem area
  2. Utility locates (calling OUPS) before any digging begins
  3. Excavation with the right equipment for the depth and soil conditions
  4. Removing the old clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg line
  5. Installing new SDR 35 or PVC sewer main with proper slope
  6. Backfilling and restoring the yard
  7. Final camera verification that the new line is clean and correctly installed

For homes in older Avon, Elyria, and Lakewood neighborhoods where clay tile sewer mains are nearing end-of-life, this is work we do regularly.

New Construction & Remodel Rough-Ins

JD's Plumbing handles new residential construction plumbing from foundation to fixture. Full rough-ins, above-ground plumbing, gas, and final set — all coordinated with your general contractor and inspectors. We pull our own permits and work directly with your GC's schedule.

Gas Piping, Excavation & Sewer Main Repair FAQs

Answers to the most common questions Avon-area customers ask about this service.

Yes. Ohio requires a permit for new gas piping and for any modification to existing gas lines. JD's Plumbing pulls the permit as part of the job — it's built into our quote. Beyond legal requirement, the permit inspection protects you: it means the work has been reviewed by the local building department.
Sewer main replacement cost depends heavily on the length of the run, depth, soil conditions, and whether any hard surfaces (driveway, sidewalk) need to be cut. We provide a firm written quote after a camera inspection and utility locate — no surprise costs after we start digging.
Yes. Standby generators need a dedicated gas line sized for the generator's load — typically a much larger supply than a range or dryer. We size, install, and pressure-test the line, then coordinate with your electrician for the final generator tie-in.
For most of our Greater Cleveland service area, traditional excavation is the most reliable and cost-effective option. Trenchless methods (pipe bursting, pipe lining) have their place on specific jobs — we'll recommend the best approach based on your line's condition and layout.
Yes. JD's Plumbing handles full new residential construction — underground, rough-in, and final set — coordinated with your general contractor. We pull our own permits and work with local inspectors throughout the build.
Most residential sewer main replacements are completed in 1–3 days, depending on length, depth, and whether concrete or asphalt needs to be cut. We work efficiently and restore the yard before leaving the site.
