The delivery crew set it in the laundry room and left it unconnected. That's normal — gas connections are licensed work. Omaha Drain finishes the job: shutoff valve, approved connector, leak test, and a vent check. Available 24/7 across the Omaha metro.
Once the utility has shut the gas off and cleared the property, call us and we'll find and repair the leak.
You want clean, dry clothes — not a slow leak behind the laundry wall. A loose connection, the wrong connector, or a missing shutoff turns a twenty-minute job into a real hazard.
Our licensed technicians handle the hookup end to end. We check the gas supply, install or update the shutoff valve, connect an approved connector, tie in the vent, and then test everything before we pack up.
Gas dryers are efficient and powerful — as long as the gas line and venting are right. A professional hookup helps you avoid leaks, poor drying performance, and code problems that surface later during a home inspection.
These are the parts we check and install so the dryer runs safely:
Even when the existing line looks fine, we verify every connection and update anything that doesn't meet current standards.
Your Omaha Drain tech works through a full safety and performance checklist so you know the dryer is set up correctly.
We verify gas supply size and location, then install or update the dedicated shutoff so you can turn the dryer's gas off without moving the appliance.
We use a new approved connector sized for your dryer and route it to avoid kinks, rubbing, or strain on the fittings.
Before we leave, we test every joint, confirm ignition, and make sure the vent is clear and properly attached.
Here's the difference a professional gas dryer hookup makes.
You get peace of mind — and a dryer that starts right up.
We give you options and pricing upfront so you can decide what makes sense for your home and budget.
Final price depends on the distance to the gas line, the condition of the existing shutoff and venting, and any code upgrades the job turns up.
From drain cleaning to gas line work, Omaha Drain is known for fast response, fair pricing, and technicians who treat your home with respect.

Gas work is one area where it is worth bringing in a licensed pro. We make sure the gas line, shutoff, connector, and vent connection are all sized and installed correctly, and we leak test every joint before we leave. Appliance delivery crews generally will not make a gas connection, which is why most people call us the same week their dryer arrives.
In many homes we can. We inspect your existing gas system, talk through route options, and size the new line for the total load your system is already carrying so the dryer does not starve your furnace or water heater. You get upfront pricing before any work starts.
Clear a path to the laundry area, make sure the dryer is on site if it is a new one, and if you know where your gas meter or main shutoff is, point it out when we get there. We handle the rest and walk you through what we are doing.
We can disconnect the old dryer and address basic vent connection issues as part of the hookup. If the venting is damaged, crushed, or needs to be rerouted, we will show you what we found and give you options and pricing before doing that work.
Sometimes, but old connectors should never be reused, and the one in the box is not always the right length for your setup. We install a new approved connector routed so it will not kink or rub, and we replace the shutoff valve if the existing one is seized or unreachable.
