If you smell gas, hear hissing near a gas line, or feel unwell, leave the building, avoid switches and flames, and call your gas utility and 911 from a safe distance first. Once the area is safe, our licensed plumbers repair the line and confirm the system is tight.
California's C-36 plumbing classification covers gas piping, so gas work belongs with a licensed plumber. We repair leaks, run new lines for ranges, dryers, water heaters, fire pits, and pool heaters, and pressure-test every job.

Our gas lines process
- 1
Safety first
For an active leak, we confirm you've left the area and contacted the utility. We only work once the site is safe.
- 2
Locate & test
We locate the leak or plan the new run, then pressure-test to find every fault, not just the obvious one.
- 3
Repair or install to code
We repair or install gas piping with the correct materials and fittings, permitted through the City of Rialto where required.
- 4
Verify & document
A final pressure test confirms the system holds, and we document the work and permit status for your records.
Licensed, tested gas line work you can trust
Gas work is not a DIY or handyman job. The California C-36 Plumbing Contractor classification specifically covers gas piping, and we verify our license status with the CSLB. Every repair and installation is pressure-tested and, where required, permitted and inspected.
Whether you're extending a line for a new outdoor kitchen or chasing down a leak the utility flagged, we plan the route, size the pipe for the appliance load, and use proper materials and connections. Permit responsibility is written into your estimate.
We treat suspected gas-line damage as an emergency — it's one of the conditions that always warrants an immediate call rather than a scheduled appointment. Your safety and a tight, code-compliant system come first.
What's included in gas line repair & installation
Every gas lines job in Rialto comes with the same clear scope — so you know exactly what you're paying for before we start:
- Leak location or new-run planning, with pipe sized to the appliance load
- Repair or installation in the correct materials and fittings, to code
- City of Rialto permit handling and inspection where required
- A pressure test to confirm the entire system holds — not just the obvious fault
- Coordination with your gas utility when a line must be turned off
