Signs of trouble

A gas smell. Leave, then call from outside or a neighbor's house.
Hissing at the meter or along the line into the house
Flames that lift, flutter or burn yellow
Sooty marks near appliance vents
A pilot that won't hold
Withered grass over the buried service line

Only the smell means leave now; the rest are reasons to book a plumber.

Which gas system serves Dacula

Dacula is unusual. The City of Dacula's utilities page lists the City of Buford under natural gas, and Buford's municipal gas department serves parts of Gwinnett, Hall, Barrow, Jackson and Walton counties. But Buford publishes no street-level map, and Georgia 811 also lists Atlanta Gas Light and the City of Lawrenceville as gas operators in Gwinnett. So the honest answer is: check your bill.

Bill from the City of Buford: leaks to 770-932-7981 by day, 770-932-7986 after hours, or 911
Bill from a marketer such as Gas South on the AGL system: Atlanta Gas Light, 877.427.4321
Bill from the City of Lawrenceville: 770-963-3332

Dacula is a small, fast-growing town in eastern Gwinnett, and much of the housing is recent. Census survey data put the median build year at 1999, with about 12% built before 1980. Many homes have flexible stainless tubing, which needs proper bonding, plus a gas water heater and furnace on the same trunk.

The City of Dacula issues building permits at City Hall, 442 Harbins Road, and does its own inspections with 24-hour notice. Plumbing rough inspections are part of the process.

Making the call

The number on this page puts you in touch with an independent local plumber. Tell them which gas company is on your bill, since meter work is coordinated with that utility.

Newer Dacula homes often add gas appliances after move-in: a range swap, a tankless water heater or an outdoor kitchen. Each one adds demand on the same trunk line, so the plumber totals the load of everything in the house before tying in. If the math does not work, the fix is usually a larger pipe from the meter, and sometimes a meter change that only the gas utility can make.

Gas Line Services questions in Dacula

How can I tell which gas utility serves my house?

Look at the bill. Dacula lists the City of Buford for gas, but some addresses may be on Atlanta Gas Light or, less likely, Lawrenceville's system.

What should I do the moment I smell gas indoors?

Leave the house, then call 911 or your utility from outside: City of Buford gas at 770-932-7981 (day) or 770-932-7986 (after hours), or Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 if your bill shows AGL.

Which part of the gas piping is mine to maintain?

The gas utility owns the service line and meter. Pipe on the house side of the meter, and every branch to an appliance, belongs to the owner.

Why is new gas pipe pressure tested before it is used?

The test proves new pipe and fittings hold pressure before gas is turned on. The City Inspector needs to see that before the line is approved.
