Expert Gas Line Services & Leak Detection

Natural gas and propane are efficient fuel sources, but they demand respect. A small leak can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or a catastrophic explosion. Unlike water leaks which damage property, gas leaks endanger lives.

Our team consists of certified Gas Fitters who understand the strict codes required for gas piping. Whether you have a "Rotten Egg" smell, a hissing sound behind your dryer, or the gas company has red-tagged your meter, we have the electronic sniffers and pressure gauges to find the issue and fix it correctly the first time.

Electronic Leak Detection

We use advanced combustible gas detectors to sniff out minute leaks in walls, underground, or under floorboards without unnecessary demolition.

🏷️

"Red Tag" Removal

If the utility company locked your meter due to a leak, we perform the repair, run the required pressure test, and submit the permit to restore service.

🔥

Appliance Hookups

Safe installation of gas lines for stoves, dryers, furnaces, pool heaters, and fireplaces. Proper venting and valve installation included.

🍔

Outdoor Gas Lines

Stop swapping propane tanks. We trench and install dedicated natural gas lines for outdoor BBQ islands, fire pits, and patio heaters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gas leaks?
Leaks often occur at threaded joints where the sealant has dried out over decades. Other causes include corrosion of buried pipes, shifting soil causing stress fractures, or faulty appliance connections (like moving a dryer and loosening the flex line).
The utility company shut off my gas. What now?
When a utility company red-tags your meter, they will not unlock it until a licensed professional repairs the leak and performs a "pressure test" to verify the system is sealed. We handle this entire process, including coordinating the inspection with city officials.
How do you find the leak?
We use electronic gas detectors that detect parts-per-million of gas in the air. Once we narrow down the area, we use a non-corrosive bubbling solution on pipe joints to visually confirm the exact source of the leak.
Can you install a gas line for a BBQ or Fire Pit?
Absolutely. We can run underground polyethylene (PE) gas piping to any location in your yard. This saves you the hassle of refilling propane tanks and ensures a constant fuel supply for your outdoor kitchen.
What is an Earthquake Shutoff Valve?
This is a safety device installed on your meter that automatically cuts off the gas supply when significant seismic activity is detected. We highly recommend these for homes in earthquake-prone zones to prevent fires after a tremor.
