Gas Line Installation and Repair Winnipeg
Gas line work is not a project for an unlicensed contractor, a handyman, or a homeowner with basic plumbing skills. In Manitoba, all natural gas piping must be installed, extended, and repaired by a licensed gasfitter holding a Class A journeyperson or Class B residential certificate under Manitoba Technical Standards and Safety Authority requirements. Every Brown’s technician performing gas line work carries the required Manitoba gasfitter licence. We install, extend, repair, and test gas lines across Winnipeg, Steinbach, and Morris. Brown’s provides the complete picture here because homeowners making decisions about gas line work deserve to understand what a compliant, safe installation actually involves.
What To Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak
This is an emergency. Leave the building immediately. Do not use any electrical switches, do not turn lights on or off, and do not use your phone inside the building. If you are in an attached garage, do not start your vehicle. Once you are safely outside and well away from the building, call 911 first and then Enbridge Gas Emergency at 1-888-427-8888. Contact Brown’s after emergency services have cleared the building and confirmed it is safe to re-enter.
