The charming suburban community of Oreland, nestled in Montgomery County, offers residents the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience. From the beautiful homes along Highland Avenue to the established neighborhoods surrounding Oreland Park, this community is known for its tree-lined streets and well-maintained properties.
However, many of these lovely homes, particularly those near the Oreland train station and around the popular Sandy Run Park area, were built decades ago when natural gas infrastructure was different than today’s standards. Whether you’re upgrading an older home’s gas lines, installing a new gas appliance, or dealing with an emergency gas line issue, you need experienced professionals who understand both modern safety requirements and the unique challenges of Oreland’s housing stock.

Jennifer from the Highland Avenue area contacted us last winter when her aging gas line to the water heater developed a dangerous leak. Previous contractors had quoted her days of waiting and thousands in unnecessary excavation work.
“I called Central Plumbing at 7 PM on a Friday, worried about safety and expecting to wait until Monday,” Jennifer explained. “Mike’s team was at my door in 45 minutes, even in the snow. They safely isolated the leak, installed a new gas line section using modern materials, and had everything working perfectly by 10 PM. The upfront pricing meant no surprises, and they even noticed my water heater was due for maintenance, preventing another future emergency.”
Robert, who owns a business near the Oreland train station, needed emergency gas line installation for new kitchen equipment. Other local companies couldn’t accommodate his timeline or seemed unfamiliar with commercial gas line requirements.
“Central Plumbing understood exactly what I needed,” Robert said. “They handled all the permits, coordinated with the gas company, and completed the installation during off-hours so my business wasn’t disrupted. Their knowledge of local codes and professional relationship with inspectors made everything seamless.”
