Natural Gas: Atmos and the First Call

The City's inspections sheet lists Atmos Energy as the natural gas provider in Maryville. Atmos tells anyone who smells gas to leave immediately, call 911 and then call its 24-hour line, 866-322-8667.

A plumber is not the first call for a gas smell. Piping repairs happen after the utility has cleared the area. The gas piping page explains the sequence.

Gas Appliances and Hookups

  • A range, dryer or grill hookup needs a shutoff valve and a proper connector.
  • A gas water heater has its own connection and venting.
  • New gas piping should be pressure tested before gas is turned on.

Ask whether the job needs a City permit, and who files it. Codes Enforcement is at 865-273-3500.

Fittings at an appliance connection are checked for tightness before the gas is restored.

The Water Heater Under the Stairs or in the Garage

The leak spot decides most repair or replace calls. A leak at a fitting is often fixable, and a leak from the tank body is not.

Space around a heater matters, because every valve on top has to be reachable.

See diagnosing a leaking heater for the checks and whether on-demand heating suits a household for the on-demand alternative.
