Water supply is the first question we ask on a Hansville job. Kitsap PUD serves most of Hansville through a system that is now linked with Kingston and Gamblewood. Some outlying properties toward Eglon and on the Hood Canal side are on private wells. Hansville is a little over an hour from Port Orchard, the longest drive we make inside Kitsap County, which puts it comfortably inside the territory we cover every week.
Why gas line installation & repair is a little different in Hansville
Permits for gas piping in Hansville are issued by the local jurisdiction, and the inspector wants to see the pressure test before the drywall goes up. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork for resale.
Sewer versus septic is the next question. There is no public sewer in Hansville. The whole community, including Driftwood Key and the waterfront around Point No Point, is on septic, much of it older systems on small lots where effluent pumps and tight drainfields are the norm.
Local conditions that affect gas line installation & repair in Hansville
In Hansville specifically, one issue comes up more than most: Corroded galvanized and steel service lines in the salt air near the beaches
Older Hansville homes with original black iron gas piping often have fittings whose sealant dried out decades ago. We find those weeping joints with a detector, and if there are several we recommend replacing the run instead of chasing them one at a time.
Ask a Hansville homeowner what goes wrong with plumbing here and you will usually hear a version of this: Sump pumps and crawlspace groundwater on the low spit at Point No Point
Outdoor kitchens and fire pits are common additions around Hansville. We trench polyethylene gas line through the glacial soil, add tracer wire and risers, and set a shutoff where you can reach it without lifting a deck board.

Gas Line Installation & Repair questions from Hansville
Do you handle propane systems in Hansville?
Yes. We install second-stage regulators, run piping to each appliance, convert appliances when the manufacturer offers a kit, and coordinate the tank and first-stage regulator with your propane supplier.
Can you add a gas line for a generator at my Hansville home?
Yes. Generators need their own sized line and are tested under full load. We coordinate with your electrician so the fuel side and the transfer switch are finished together.
Who do I call for a gas smell in Hansville?
Your gas utility's emergency line or 911 first, from outside the house. After they shut off the meter, call us at (360) 812-1124 and we will locate and repair the leak and pressure-test the system before relighting.
Does a gas line in Hansville need a permit?
Yes, nearly always. New lines, extensions and most repairs require a permit and an inspection of the pressure test. We pull it for the Hansville jurisdiction as part of the job.
Can you run a gas line if I am on propane?
Yes. Much of our gas work in Mason County and rural Kitsap is propane. We size for propane's higher pressure, set the second-stage regulator at the house, and coordinate with your tank supplier on the first-stage regulator and tank size.
