How Much Does It Cost to Move a Gas Line in Colorado?


Pricing to move a gas line in Colorado can vary depending on several factors.

Here are three things that can influence the cost. 

  1. Site conditions
  2. Pipeline size and length
  3. DIY vs. professional installation

Let’s take a look at each of those factors in more detail.

Factor #1: Site conditions

The first factor to determine is how many and what type of barriers the gas line needs to pass through. As with any other home improvement project, the costs tend to correlate with the complexity of the job.

For example, a less complex project, such as one that only involves cutting into drywall, is likely less expensive than a project that entails cutting through stone and/or bricks.

Factor #2: Pipeline size and length

Every gas pipe needs to be sized according to how many appliances are on the line, which means you don’t get much of a say when it comes to the size and length pipe you need.

Simply extending a gas line to a new appliance may seem logical in your situation, but it’s not always the best solution. It’s sometimes safer and/or more effective to run a new line back to the gas manifold (the main gas distribution point for your entire house). The right professional can help determine the best course of action for you.

Factor #3: DIY or professional install

If you’re thinking of moving a gas line on your own, don’t. It is dangerous for you and for your home because:

  • Without proper installation, gas leaks and explosions become serious concerns.
  • Special piping and other custom materials needed to complete the project aren’t sold to the general public.
  • In some areas, DIY gas line repairs/modifications are against local building codes.

So, who is the best professional to contact if you need a gas line moved?

Well, logic may tell you to contact the local gas company to move your gas line, but it’s actually best to call the plumber. Contrary to popular belief, plumbers don’t just deal with water pipers. They actually repair and install any type of pipe—including gas pipes.
