Calling for help
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who handles gas piping around Kennesaw. Mention which utility your bill names and whether the meter has been shut off. Houses from the 1990s and 2000s often have both black iron and flexible tubing; the tubing should have a bonding wire to the electrical grounding, and the plumber can check that during other gas work. Kennesaw Building Services is on Moon Station Road, and permits there are applied for online only, so the plumber will file before starting planned work. Before digging for a grill or generator line, call Georgia 811 so buried utility lines are marked first. When the utility has locked a meter after a leak call, the plumber repairs and tests your side before service comes back.
