Around here
In Oak Park
Oak Park gas lines are permitted through Ventura County, since there's no city building department, and the inspector checks the pressure test before the gas goes back on. Most of the work is new black iron runs to a BBQ, fire pit or pool heater, with a shutoff at each appliance. If you smell gas, leave and call SoCalGas first.
Neighborhoods: the Kanan tracts, Lindero Canyon, the streets off Oak Hills Drive, Sutton Valley, the newer tracts up Bowfield.
The job
How it goes
Most jobs are new lines to a built-in BBQ or outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a pool or spa heater, a range, a dryer or a generator. Each is sized by BTU rating and length of run, with a shutoff at the appliance. The inspector signs off the pressure test before the gas goes on.
If you smell gas, leave and call SoCalGas from outside. After they shut it off, we find and fix the leak, retest the system and give you the paperwork they need to relight.
A tankless, a bigger range or a pool heater can outdraw the existing line. We run a larger one from the meter, sized for the whole house, and the gas company sometimes upgrades the meter.

Common questions
Gas lines in Oak Park: things people ask
How fast can you get to Oak Park?
Often the same day. It's ten minutes up Kanan or Lindero Canyon from Westlake Village.
Who issues permits in Oak Park?
Ventura County, since Oak Park has no city government. We plan around the county's inspection schedule, so the date we give you holds.
Do I need a permit for a gas line?
Yes, for any new line or change. The inspector checks the pressure test first.
Can you run gas to my outdoor kitchen?
Yes. The line is sized for everything out there, buried at code depth, with a shutoff at the island.
How do you test for leaks?
We pressurize the system with air and watch a gauge. If it drops, we find the joint with a detector and soap.
