If you smell gas in a Sheridan home, leave first, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside; the utility and its emergency number are on your gas bill. For leaks after the meter, new appliance lines or a pressure test, call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sheridan.
What happens when you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who takes gas piping jobs in Sheridan and nearby. They will ask what appliance or problem is involved, where the meter is and whether the home is a house or part of a multi-unit building. If you smell gas, leave and call 911 and your utility before anything else. For non-emergency work, the plumber checks the system and handles the permit question.
Cost factors
- How far the new line runs and through what kind of space
- Condition of existing pipe and connectors
- Whether the line needs upsizing
- Number of valves and fittings
- Permit and inspection, where required
Sheridan specifics
Sheridan is a small, long-established Arapahoe County city that borders Denver on its west and north sides, near Fort Logan and Bear Creek, along US 85 and US 285. Like other long-settled inner suburbs, it has homes whose gas piping has likely been changed and extended over the years, which is where a careful look before adding an appliance pays off.
Two things could not be confirmed from official sources: the gas utility serving Sheridan and the office that issues plumbing and gas permits. Rather than guess, check your gas bill for the utility and its emergency number, and rely on a plumber who works in the area to know the current permit process. You can also call Sheridan City Hall and ask who handles building permits.
Ongoing redevelopment in parts of the city means some newer buildings sit next to older housing, so gas systems vary widely from one block to the next.
Checklist before the visit
- Find the meter and the main shutoff
- Clear space around the appliance
- Note when you first noticed the problem
- Have the model and rating of any new appliance
- In a multi-unit building, check with the property manager
Early fall is a good time to have lingering issues checked, before the furnace runs every night. Planned work such as a dryer or range hookup is easiest scheduled before the appliance arrives.
Keep carbon monoxide alarms working in any home that burns gas, and replace them at the end of their service life.
