If you smell gas — that rotten egg odor — evacuate your home immediately and call SoCalGas emergency line (1-800-427-2200), then call us. Never use light switches, phones, or any electrical devices inside a home with a suspected gas leak. Once the utility has shut off the gas and cleared the area, we'll locate and repair the leak permanently.
We also install new gas lines for appliances, BBQ connections, fire pits, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens. Every new gas line installation is pressure-tested and inspected before any appliance is connected.
Common gas line services we perform: leak repair, gas line extensions for new appliances, tankless water heater gas line upgrades (which require larger line sizing), and gas line replacement for corroded or damaged lines.
Signs You Need Gas Lines Now
- ✕Rotten-egg or sulfur odor — the odorant added to natural gas for safety detection
- ✕Hissing sound near a gas appliance, valve, or buried pipe run in the yard
- ✕Dead vegetation in a line above a buried gas line — escaping gas kills grass and plants
- ✕Gas appliance that won't stay lit or pilot light that keeps going out without a draft explanation
- ✕Unexplained spike in your gas bill with no change in appliance usage or weather
- ✕Flex connector to an appliance that is old, kinked, or showing visible corrosion at the fittings
How Gas Lines Works
Before any work begins, we confirm gas is shut off at the meter and use electronic detection equipment to verify the area is safe to work in.
We trace the affected line, check fittings, connectors, and valves, and locate the source of any leak or the routing path for new work.
We pull the required permit from the city or county — all gas line work in California must be permitted and inspected.
We repair the leak with approved materials or run the new gas line to the appliance location, sized correctly for the BTU demand.
The completed gas line is pressure-tested to code, inspected by the city, and gas is only restored after the system passes.

Common Questions About Gas Line Repair & Installation
What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave immediately. Don't use any electrical switches or devices. Call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from outside, then call us at (949) 379-0082.
Do I need a permit for a new gas line in California?
Yes — all new gas line installations require a permit and inspection. We handle the permit process and schedule the inspection on your behalf.
Can you add a gas line for my outdoor BBQ or fire pit?
Absolutely — this is one of our most common requests. We'll run a dedicated line to your exact location and provide a flexible connector for easy appliance use.
How do I know if my gas line is leaking if I can't smell it?
Signs include dead vegetation in a line over buried pipes, hissing sounds near appliances, or higher-than-normal gas bills. We use electronic detection equipment to find leaks you can't smell.
