On a barrier island the materials matter as much as the workmanship, and in a shared building the care taken matters more again.
Salt air on exposed pipework
Any gas line running outside or beneath a raised home is exposed to salt in a way it never would be inland. It needs to be properly rated and protected, and it is worth looking at periodically rather than assumed sound because it was when installed.
In a villa, it is never just your problem
If you smell gas in a shared building, leave, call from outside, and let your neighbours and the regime know as well. Shared construction means a leak is not necessarily confined to one home.
Outdoor kitchens, grills and fire features
Straightforward when done properly with exterior-rated pipe and accessible shut-offs. Where a property is used seasonally, an accessible shut-off matters more than usual.
Everything permitted and tested
Licensed, permitted, pressure tested and inspected, every time.
