Do you need a permit for gas line work in Portland?

Yes — Oregon requires permits for any gas line modification, addition, or repair. We pull the required permit, perform the work, and coordinate the inspection from Multnomah County Building Services.

Can I repair a gas line myself?

No — Oregon law requires a licensed plumber or gas line contractor to perform gas line work, and a permit and inspection are required. Unlicensed gas work voids homeowner's insurance and is a significant safety liability.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave immediately — don't use any switches, phones, or electronics inside. Once outside, call NW Natural's emergency line (1-971-386-1515) and then call us. Do not re-enter until the utility has cleared the building. Gas leaks are life-safety emergencies.
