Can you run a new gas line to my patio or deck?

We can install new gas piping from your home to the grill location, including going through basements, crawlspaces, or along exterior walls. We size the line correctly for your grill BTUs, protect it from damage, and add a shutoff valve and quick-connect at the grill.

How much does a gas grill hookup usually cost?

Most standard gas grill hookups in existing grill locations fall into a straightforward price range. More complex projects that need new gas piping, longer runs, or concrete coring are priced after an on-site evaluation. Either way, Omaha Drain gives you upfront options and applies any eligible online coupons before we start work.

Can you convert my grill from propane to natural gas?

In many cases we can help connect a compatible conversion kit and make sure the gas supply, regulator, and orifices are set up correctly. Some grills are not designed for conversion, so we will inspect the model first and let you know your safest options.

Propane Tanks, Sketchy Lines, and “Is This Safe?” — Let’s Fix That.

Maybe you’ve been hauling heavy propane tanks, or a previous homeowner ran a mystery gas line to the patio and you’re not sure it’s safe. Gas work is one area where “good enough” can be dangerous.

Homeowners often call us after smelling gas, seeing rusted or kinked piping, or realizing a DIY hookup was never permitted or inspected. That’s stressful — especially when your family is nearby and you just wanted to enjoy dinner outside. You shouldn’t have to guess whether your grill connection is safe. You deserve a setup that looks clean, lights reliably, and has been pressure-tested by pros.

Why a Professional Gas Grill Hookup Is Essential

Natural gas is amazing for grilling — endless fuel, steady temperature, and no more last-minute tank runs. But if the line isn’t installed correctly, it can lead to leaks, poor grill performance, or worse.

Safety first: Gas leaks can cause fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide issues. We pressure-test and soap-test every connection.
Code & permits: Many cities require permits and inspections for new gas piping. We handle the details so you don’t have to.
Right size piping: Undersized lines mean weak flames and uneven cooking. We size the line for your grill and any future appliances.
Long-term reliability: Proper support, protection from damage, and quality materials keep your grill ready for years of cookouts.

Smell gas or worried about a current hookup?

If you suspect a leak, shut off the gas if it’s safe to do so, step outside, and call us. We offer priority dispatch for safety-related gas calls across the Omaha metro.

FAQ

Gas Grill Hookup FAQs

Have questions about running a gas line to your grill? Here are answers to what Omaha homeowners ask us most often.

Do I really need a plumber to hook up my gas grill?

Yes. Any time you are working with natural gas, it’s important to use a licensed professional. We size the gas line correctly, use approved materials and fittings, install shutoff valves, and pressure-test the system so your grill is safe and up to code.

Can you run a new gas line to my patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen?

Absolutely. We can install new gas piping through basements, crawlspaces, or along exterior walls to reach your grill location. We’ll review the route with you first, then secure the piping and protect it from damage.

How long does a typical gas grill hookup take?

Many straightforward hookups can be completed in a single visit, often within a few hours. More complex installations that require longer runs, concrete coring, or coordination with the city may take longer, but we’ll outline the plan and timeline before any work begins.

Can you convert my propane grill to natural gas?

In many cases we can help connect a manufacturer-approved conversion kit and verify that the gas supply and regulator are set up correctly. Some grills are not designed for conversion, so we will inspect the model first and let you know your safest options.

What happens if you find an issue with my existing gas system?

If we discover unsafe conditions — like leaking joints, improper materials, or unpermitted DIY work — we’ll show you what we found and provide clear repair options. Our goal is to make your entire gas system safer, not just hook up the grill and walk away.
