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
Things people ask about gas line installation & repair
- 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.
- Who relights the appliances?
- We do after the test, or the gas company does after a shutoff. Nothing's lit until the line passes.
