What we do
A suspected natural gas leak is a same-hour emergency. Our gas-certified plumbers respond around the clock with calibrated combustible gas detectors, acoustic leak sensors, and code-compliant pressure-test rigs. We isolate the section of pipe that's leaking, document it for SoCalGas, and repair or replace the affected line to current California Plumbing Code standards.
We service gas leaks at meters, flex connectors, water heaters, furnaces, ranges, fireplaces, pool heaters, and yard lines. Whether the leak shows up as a high gas bill, a SoCalGas red-tag, or a hissing connector behind the stove, we have the tools and the license (CSLB C-36) to handle it from diagnosis through reinstatement.
Every gas job ends with a verified pressure test, a printed report, and (when required) coordination with SoCalGas to safely turn service back on and relight pilots. Permits are pulled on every repair that needs one.

Gas Leak Detection & Repair cost & what affects pricing
A documented pressure test and leak isolation typically lands in the low-to-mid hundreds. Spot repairs of an accessible flex connector or appliance shut-off are quick and inexpensive.
Whole-house gas-line repipes, yard-line replacements, and red-tag reinstatements range from the mid four figures to low five figures depending on length, routing, and trenching. Every quote includes permit, inspection, and SoCalGas coordination.
Every quote is flat-rate, written, and approved before any work begins. Call (562) 366-0303 for a same-day estimate.
