Gas Line Installation and Repair in San Diego

If you smell gas, do not wait. Leave the building first, then call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off on the way out.

Installation

A new run, usually because something new needs gas: an appliance in a new spot, an outdoor connection, an addition or a remodel. The run has to be sized and routed for what it will feed.

Repair

A repair fixes the failure where it happened. It suits a line whose run is otherwise sound and can be reached.

Reroute

A reroute leaves the problem run in place and takes a new path instead, which is often the better answer when the old run is hard to reach or keeps giving trouble.

Leak detection

Leak detection finds where the line is losing gas, so the repair or the reroute goes to the right place rather than to a guess.

Signs of a gas line problem

• The smell of gas, indoors or out. Natural gas is given its smell on purpose so a leak can be noticed.
• A hissing sound near a gas line or appliance.
• A gas bill that has climbed with no change in use.
• Dead or discolored plants along the path of an underground line.
• Burners or appliances that struggle to light or stay lit.

The smell is the one that does not wait. The rest are reasons to call and have the line checked.

Gas and water are separate systems

Gas and water are separate systems with separate requirements, so it helps to say which one you are calling about. Hot and cold water repairs, reroutes and new construction are on the same plumbing list.

When gas work is part of a bigger job

A water heater that moves, or a kitchen remodel that moves the range, takes the gas line with it. Plumbing and construction are both performed in house here, under one CSLB license, so the gas work and the rest of the job stay with one company.
