Gas Line Repair in Inglewood, CA

If you notice a gas odor: do not try to find the leak yourself. Get people and pets out of the building, leave doors open behind you, avoid anything electrical, and call SoCalGas or 911 once you are well away from the house. Our work on the house piping begins once the utility says it is safe.

Repairing Gas Piping

Older Inglewood homes often have black steel gas pipe that has been extended and patched by several owners over the years, along with flexible appliance connectors that have been bent and moved more times than they should. A standing pressure test tells us whether gas is escaping; an electronic sniffer then leads us to the joint or connector at fault, which is replaced and retested before burners are relit.

• Replacement of old or damaged appliance connectors
• Corroded pipe and fitting replacement
• Appliance shutoff valve replacement

New Lines, Reroutes and Hookups

Kitchen remodels, laundry moves, garage conversions and backyard living spaces all tend to need gas piping moved or extended. We run the new line, size it for every appliance it will serve, and connect ranges, dryers, fireplaces, barbecues and water heaters.

Earthquake Gas Shutoff Valves

In an earthquake, a broken gas connection is one of the more serious risks in a home. A seismic gas shutoff valve closes automatically during strong shaking, and an excess flow valve closes if gas starts flowing far faster than normal, such as after a pipe breaks. Many Los Angeles area homeowners add one or both, and we can install them on the house side of the meter.
