In Dallas, a gas smell means leave the house first, then call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from a safe place; your gas bill confirms the pipe utility. New lines, repairs past the meter and pressure tests are plumber work, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Dallas.

What happens when you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who does gas work around Dallas and Paulding County. They will ask what you need, whether the home is inside city limits, and whether AGL has already tagged or locked the meter. After a leak call, the plumber repairs the piping on your side and pressure tests it before service is restored.
Many Dallas jobs involve distance. A detached garage, workshop or generator pad can sit well away from the meter, and gas pipe has to get larger as runs get longer to deliver full pressure at the far end. The plumber plans the size, the route, the burial depth and the shutoffs, then tests the line before anything is connected. Planning all future gas loads at once usually beats extending a line several times.
Cost factors
- Distance from the meter to the appliance or outbuilding
- Whether the trunk line can carry the added load
- Trenching for yard runs to a shop or generator
- Slab or crawl space access
- City or county permit and inspection
Dallas conditions
Dallas is the Paulding County seat, a northwest exurb with a historic downtown and the Silver Comet Trail nearby. Its population roughly tripled between 2000 and 2020, and the housing reflects that: Census survey data put the median build year at 2002, with about 17% of homes from before 1980. Newer homes commonly use flexible stainless tubing that needs bonding to the electrical grounding; older houses near downtown may have black iron.
Atlanta Gas Light owns and maintains natural gas pipes across its metro territory, and customers buy gas from a certificated marketer. AGL coverage was not checked address by address, and some outlying homes may use propane, so the bill or tank tells you which applies.
Inside city limits, City of Dallas Community Development issues plumbing permits, with inspections by Bureau Veritas. Outside the city, Paulding County issues them.
Before the plumber arrives
- Confirm whether the address is inside Dallas city limits
- Know whether you are on natural gas or propane
- Clear access to the meter or tank and the appliance
- Have the appliance's model number
- Call Georgia 811 before any digging for a yard line
