Gas Line Repair in Biloxi, MS
Biloxi is a town of two systems. 22% take mains gas and 2% use propane, and only one of those arrangements has a utility on the other side of it.
Read this first
In Biloxi, 22% of homes are on mains gas and 2% on bottled, so the town average settles nothing about any one address. Mains gas ends the utility's regulated line at the meter outlet; a tank supply has no such boundary.
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey table B25040; the service line boundary is 49 CFR § 192.3.
If you smell gas right now
Leave the building on foot. Do not use a phone or a light switch inside. Call 911 and your gas utility from somewhere else, and do not call us — we are a referral service, not an emergency line. The full list, in order.
How Biloxi is supplied
In a town with both, the useful page is the one about the arrangement you actually have. The meter is the tell: if there is one, there is a service line behind it and a boundary at its outlet.
| Households in Biloxi | Share |
|---|---|
| Utility (mains) gas | 22% |
| Bottled or tank propane | 2% |
| Electricity | 75% |
| Fuel oil and kerosene | under 1% |
| Wood and everything else | 1% |
Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), 2023 release. Universe: 25,645 occupied housing units. B25040 is a fuel count, not an infrastructure count. It tells you what burns in these houses, from which the arrangement follows — but it is an inference, not a meter reading. Service line definition: 49 CFR § 192.3, via PHMSA interpretation PI-12-0003.
Across Mississippi as a whole, 33% of households are on mains gas and 4% on tank propane. Biloxi sits 10 points below the state on mains and 2 points below it on propane. That is the gap a statewide number papers over, and the reason the figures above are this town’s rather than the state’s.
Before anyone digs on the property
Before any digging — a fence post as much as a foundation — call 8-1-1. It is a nationwide toll-free number, it costs nothing, and PHMSA puts the chance of avoiding an incident afterwards at 99 percent.

What to ask whoever quotes it
Ask how the work will be tested and what happens at the end of it. An inspection on gas work is normal rather than a complication, and a contractor who treats it as one is telling you something.

Checking a plumber in Mississippi
Mississippi licenses are issued by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins. Mississippi licenses residential and commercial plumbing contractors; individual journeymen are not state-licensed.
Gas work is separately permitted and separately licensed in most jurisdictions, so ask specifically about gas rather than plumbing in general.
For repair work, not for a suspected leak.If you can smell gas, leave and call 911 or your utility from outside; this is the wrong number for that. For everything else — a line, a meter, an appliance connection — we will route you to a contractor covering your area, free of charge to you. We serve Biloxi for plumbing that has nothing to do with gas.
