How We Work
Our Gas Line Repair Process
- 1
If you smell gas — leave and call 911 first
Before any repair: if you smell gas, leave the home immediately and call SoCal Gas and 911 from outside. Only call us once the gas company has confirmed it is safe to enter.
- 2
Pressure test to confirm and locate the leak
We pressure test the affected gas line section to confirm and locate the leak precisely before opening anything.
- 3
Repair the affected section
We repair or replace the leaking fitting, flex connector, or pipe section using gas-rated materials and code-compliant fittings.
- 4
Pressure test after repair
Every gas repair is followed by a pressure test to confirm the repaired section holds with no further leak.
- 5
Coordinate gas restoration with SoCal Gas
If gas was shut off for the repair, we coordinate with SoCal Gas to restore service and relight appliances safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gas line repair in the Redlands area.
I smell gas. What do I do right now?
Leave the home immediately without operating any light switches or appliances. Call SoCal Gas at 1-800-427-2200 and 911 from outside. Do not re-enter until cleared. Then call us.
Can a plumber do gas line work in California?
Yes. Licensed plumbers in California are authorized to work on natural gas piping in residential properties. We hold the required license for this work.
How do you find a gas leak that I can't smell?
We use gas-detection equipment to identify leaks not detectable by smell, in addition to pressure testing the line. Failed pressure tests indicate a leak even when there's no obvious odor.
My gas appliance has a lower flame than normal. Is that a gas line problem?
It could be a gas pressure issue, a partially closed valve, or a problem with the appliance itself. We can diagnose whether the cause is in the line or the appliance.
Do you work on both natural gas and propane systems?
We work on natural gas systems. Propane systems may involve different licensing and equipment — call us and describe your setup and we'll tell you if we can help.
