What type of professional should I call????

- The gas company? (I already know they won't touch it)
- The grill company?
- A plumber?
- An HVAC Pro?
- A professional Landscaper?

A plumber,most gas companies in most states no longer service gas lines inside
the house,only house to street,so a plumber will be your best bet they are used
to digging holes and stuff for water sewer lines etc.

Call a plumber or a gas contractor, I would imagine if you are getting
water in your gasline you have a pretty serious problem. Doesn't the
smell of all that gas leaking scare you a little. I know it would
scare the hell out of me, I mean if you just had a little pinhole type
leak or a leaking joint on the piping you would smell it, but if you
have enough of a leak to acutually allow water to get into the pipe
you must have on whopping big hole. Don't screw around get a liscenced
gasfitter to repair it.

Thanks for all the great responses so far!

I can't actually smell gas leaking... the water obstructs the flow of
the gas since the gas pressure is so low.

If I were to blow out the water with an air compressor, it would take
about a week for it to get blocked with water again. During that
time, it probably leaks a bit into the yard, but nothing really
noticeable. There's only about 12 ounces of water (a drinking glass
full) in the line.

Also, I have the gas valve shut right now since it won't make it all
the way to the grill anyway.

Just another thought if you can't smell any gas leaking, it could
possibly be condensation in the line. Do any of the other lines in the
house ever have a problem?

Wait..you cant get water into a pressurized line...not unless its already
there, and unless you have run a line downhill to the grill, or not
installed a line of the correct diameter, and type, you dont have a leak,
but condensation.
Its that simple.

We see this all the time, and in most jurisdictions here, copper, as
suggested by someone else, is not only illegal, but downright dangerous.
