Gas leaks are severe safety hazards. Our licensed gas plumbers provide code-compliant gas line plumbing services, pinpointing leaks with electronic sniffers, repairing corroded black iron lines, and installing code-mandated automatic earthquake seismic shutoff valves across Los Angeles.
If you notice any of the following symptoms in your property, call our technicians for a clear evaluation:
Gas utilities add mercaptan so even minute leaks can be detected by smell before reaching hazardous concentrations.
A distinct whistling or hissing noise near gas ranges, water heaters, furnaces, or pool heaters.
Patches of dead grass or plants above underground yard gas supply lines to outdoor BBQs or fire pits.
Unexplained spikes in monthly SoCalGas bills when appliance usage has remained constant.
Yellow or orange lazy burner flames instead of crisp, steady blue flames indicating improper pressure or supply.
Follow these 4 precautions immediately to prevent structural water damage and protect your family while our mobile service truck is dispatched to your property.
Locate your street meter box or front hose bib valve and turn the brass handle 90 degrees clockwise until perpendicular to stop active flooding.
Open the lowest exterior garden hose spigot to drain residual line pressure safely outside rather than pooling inside drywall or floorboards.
If leaking water is anywhere near baseboard outlets, sub-panels, or appliances, switch off corresponding breakers immediately for safety.
Keep your driveway and main cleanout access clear so our technician can immediately bring heavy diagnostic equipment inside upon arrival.
Los Angeles Municipal Code mandates automatic gas shutoff valves for seismic defense:
From initial inspection to final flow testing, here is exactly what to expect:
We pressure-gauge the entire gas plumbing system to detect minute pressure drops down to fractions of a PSI.
We locate the leak origin and draft a code-compliant repair plan with scheduled city inspections.
We install Schedule 40 black iron or flexible CSST, pressure test to 10+ PSI, and restore gas service.
We install high-capacity gas manifolds, pool heater supply lines, restaurant cookline drops, and commercial seismic shutoff systems across Greater LA.
We provide straightforward upfront pricing with zero surprise charges. Typical pricing drivers include:

Clear, direct answers to common questions from Los Angeles homeowners:
Yes. The City of Los Angeles Ordinance #171874 mandates that an approved automatic earthquake gas shutoff valve (or excess flow valve) be installed on all residential and commercial buildings during property sales or major renovations exceeding $10,000.
When the gas company red-tags and locks your meter, you must hire a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor to repair the leak, perform a city-inspected pressure test, and provide certification before SoCalGas will restore service. We handle the entire process end-to-end.
No. Gas line plumbing work carries severe fire and explosion risks and requires licensed trade permits in California. All gas piping must be tested and inspected to meet current UPC and LADBS codes.
A standard pressure test takes between 15 to 30 minutes under inspector observation, holding 10 to 15 PSI on a specialized diaphragm gauge.
We use heavy-gauge Schedule 40 black steel pipe for indoor lines and coated steel or specialized Polyethylene (PE) with tracer wire for buried underground yard runs.
