Plumbing Piping & Gas Line Installation
Most people don’t think of their plumber when it comes to gas lines. At Franz Plumbing and Piping, Inc., we’d like to change that. We’re Jeff and Todd Franz, a father-and-son team bringing decades of hands-on experience to homes and businesses across Pewaukee and southeast Wisconsin. We handle the full scope of plumbing piping & gas line services in Pewaukee for both residential and commercial properties. From running brand-new gas lines to tracking down leaks and resolving red tags, we treat every gas line job with the same care and precision we bring to everything else we do.
Gas Line Installation
Running a new gas line is not a job to hand off to just anyone. It takes proper licensing, the right tools, and a thorough understanding of how gas systems work inside homes and commercial buildings.
We install new gas lines for a range of applications, including the following:
- Kitchen appliances and ranges
- Outdoor kitchens and grills
- Fire features and fire pits
- Pool gas connections
- Water heaters requiring new gas supply lines
Each installation is handled carefully and thoroughly. If you’re planning a project that needs a new gas line, we’ll assess what’s required and get it set up properly from day one.
Repairs
A gas line that isn’t working right needs attention sooner rather than later. Whether you’re dealing with a line that’s no longer supplying gas properly or one that’s been damaged, we diagnose the issue and fix it the right way.
Our gas line repair work covers:
- Damaged or deteriorating gas supply lines
- Faulty connections and fittings
- Lines impacted by renovation or construction work
- Repairs following gas company inspections or findings
We don’t cut corners on repair work. Once a fix is made, we make sure everything is functioning correctly before we wrap up the job.
Leak Detection
A gas leak is one of the more serious issues a home or building can face. If you smell gas or suspect something is off, contact your gas company right away. Once it is safe to proceed, we come in to locate the source and address it properly.
Our leak detection process covers:
- Identifying the location of active or suspected leaks
- Checking connections, fittings, and line sections
- Confirming the system is secure after repairs are made
- Advising on next steps based on what we find
If a gas leak is confirmed or repaired by your gas company and you need licensed follow-up work, we’re ready to step in and handle it.
Gas Company Red Tags
Receiving a red tag from the gas company can feel stressful, but it is something our team is well-equipped to resolve. A red tag means the gas company has identified a safety concern and shut off service until the issue is corrected by a qualified professional.
We resolve red tag situations by:
- Reviewing exactly what the gas company flagged
- Making the required repairs or corrections to the line or fittings
- Ensuring the work meets the standards needed to restore service
- Coordinating each step so the resolution moves forward without unnecessary delays
If your gas has been shut off due to a red tag, we’ll take care of what needs to be done to get things resolved.

A red tag is issued by the gas company when an inspector identifies a safety concern with a gas line or fitting. It typically results in gas service being shut off until a licensed contractor makes the necessary corrections. When a red tag situation comes up, we review what was flagged, carry out the required repairs, and make sure the work meets the standard needed to restore service.

Reviews
I found Franz Plumbing via a Google Search for plumbers near me as I wanted a second option lined up. I had never heard of them prior to this service call but they were able to show up and help prior to my first option. This was important to me as my leak was related to my kitchen sink and dishwasher so going several days without help was not ideal. The Franz crew was timely, quick with their work, and enjoyable to chat with. I was very happy with their ability to help me out so quickly.
Needless to say, Franz Plumbing will be my first option going froward and I highly recommend them.
They are courteous, prompt, neat And reasonable in their pricing. They have never let me down.
We had used Jeff Franz for a few plumbing needs and know that he will make every effort to help us - especially in emergencies. In fact, the 2 most recent calls were for a new water heater install when the old one was leaking all over the basement and just yesterday when water was leaking through the kitchen ceiling from the bathroom above. Those are when you need a plumber quick and Jeff got a couple of his crew to come to the rescue. Couldn't recommend him more highly! Thanks Jeff.
Can’t thank Jeff enough for putting in a repair order with the distributor who fixed my water heater control while by plumber was up north. Without him we would’ve been waiting at least a couple more days for a repair.
Excellent service would highly recommend.
Franz plumbing was great to work with on my bathroom remodel!!
The KINDEST plumber I have ever come across. New homeowner- and he was EXCELLENT and so very helpful! Thank you!!!! If you are a new homeowner and have the simplest of questions- call Franz Plumbing- you won't regret it!
Jeff and team definitely know their stuff. Professional from day 1, the job was done right the first time even with some hiccups outside of their control by other subs.
On a Saturday morning, we discovered that our water heater was leaking heavily out of the top and likely on its last legs. Fearing that the problem would worsen, we called around to see if we could talk to anybody. We were unsure whether we had a full-blown emergency on our hands, so we didn't want to shell out extra to have anybody come out on a weekend if we could avoid it. Thankfully, one of the messages we left was with Franz Plumbing & Piping. In less than an hour, we got a reassuring call back from Franz, and they were able to come out first thing on Monday morning to install a brand new water heater quickly and without incident. We definitely recommend Franz Plumbing & Piping.
Couldn't ask for better service or nicer people to work with. Completed the work efficiently and in time frame stated. I recommend Franz Plumbing happily.
These guys really know what their doing and the service is awesome! Would definitely use them again.
Todd replaced a gas water heater for me. GREAT service and great prices. If you like to support your local small businesses this is a perfect choice. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone and call Franz plumbing for my next repair. I have rentals in the area, so I know I'll be a repeat customer.
Fast, effective, very nice! Highly recommended!!
Jeff Franz came to my place to fix a small issue with very little notice, gave me a fair price, and did a excellent job. It wasn't a huge fix, but he did it well and timely. i would definitely recommend.
