At Fix & Flow Plumbing Co., every job we take on is an opportunity to solve problems efficiently and exceed expectations. Our recent project for John, a homeowner in Atlanta, is a perfect example. This gas line replacement and propane conversion showcased our expertise in navigating complex challenges while delivering top-notch customer service.

The Problem: A Backyard Gas Leak

John contacted Fix & Flow after Atlanta Gas identified a gas leak in their backyard. The leak was traced to underground black iron gas lines servicing an outdoor fireplace and grill. Upon inspection, we confirmed the lines were corroded and no longer up to code. Unfortunately, these lines were beyond repair and needed replacement.

While discussing the different range of solutions with John, he expressed interest in converting the outdoor fireplace and grill to propane rather than replacing the gas line. This would eliminate the need for underground lines entirely and still allow full functionality of their outdoor setup.

The Solution: Propane Conversion

After walking John through the process, we got to work. The propane conversion involved several precise steps:

Ordering a specialized conversion kit for the outdoor grill.
Procuring the materials and regulators necessary for a seamless conversion.
Removing exposed black iron piping from behind the patio and capping off the terminated gas lines, including those in the basement.
Installing a propane pressure regulator for both the outdoor fireplace and grill.
Testing and pressurizing all repairs to ensure safety and efficiency.

Going the Extra Mile

Throughout the project, our team kept John informed at every step. Not only did we resolve John’s immediate issue, but we also ensured their setup would meet code and function flawlessly for years to come. Every part and labor task we completed is covered by a one-year warranty, underscoring our commitment to quality and reliability, while giving the homeowner peace of mind.

The Result

The propane conversion left John with a safe, code-compliant outdoor setup that’s both functional and efficient. By pivoting from a traditional gas line replacement to a propane system, we provided a cost-effective solution tailored to their needs.

At Fix & Flow, our mission is to tackle challenges head-on with professionalism and expertise. Whether it’s a leaky pipe or a full system conversion, we’re here to help Atlanta homeowners keep their homes running smoothly.
