If you can smell gas in your Dubuque home, stop reading and get everyone outside, then call the gas utility and (833) 435-9778 from outdoors. Do not flip switches. Once the immediate danger is handled, we find the leak, repair it and test the whole system rather than only the section that failed.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Leak located with electronic detection and soap testing
Line sized properly for total appliance load
Black iron, CSST and coated underground runs
Full pressure test and documentation after every job
Shutoff valves and sediment traps fitted where required

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Dubuque municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling at about 4am. Somebody answered on the second ring, talked me through shutting the main off, and a truck was here inside the hour. Split pipe in the bathroom wall. Fixed and tested before I left for work.

Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

Sump pump died during a storm. Called at 11pm, got a person, had a new pump and a battery backup in the next morning. Basement stayed dry through the rest of the week.
Get everyone out of the building. Do not switch anything on or off, including lights. From outside, call your gas utility's emergency line and then call (833) 435-9778. Do not go back in until it is cleared.
Can you run a gas line for a new range or dryer?
Yes, that is routine work in Dubuque. We check whether your existing system has the capacity for the added load first, because adding an appliance to an already-marginal line causes problems elsewhere in the house.
Do you pressure test after gas work?
Every time, without exception, and you get the result in writing. It is how we confirm the system is tight and it is what an inspector will ask for.
How much does gas line installation cost in Dubuque?
It comes down to run length, whether it is inside or buried, and whether the existing system needs upsizing. We measure the job at your Dubuque property and give you a flat number before starting.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Dubuque?
We do. Our Dubuque coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
