Gas Leak Detection
SoCal Repipes provides professional gas leak detection services for residential natural gas systems. If your home has failed a gas pressure test, has a suspected leak, or the utility has shut off service, our licensed technicians perform accurate leak locating and system testing to determine the exact source of the problem.
Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Gas leaks must be addressed immediately to protect your home and safety.
- Smell of sulfur or rotten eggs
- Hissing sounds near gas piping
- Failed gas pressure test
- Gas utility shut off notice
- Corroded or deteriorating gas lines
- Unexplained increase in gas usage
If you suspect an active gas leak, contact your gas utility provider immediately before scheduling service.
Our Gas Leak Detection Process
We follow a structured diagnostic process to accurately identify pressure loss and locate leaking sections.
System Isolation
The gas system is isolated from appliances to ensure accurate pressure testing results.
Pressure Testing
We perform a controlled pressure test to confirm whether the system is holding or losing pressure.
Leak Location
Detection methods are used to pinpoint leaking fittings, joints, or damaged sections of gas piping.
Detection services identify the leak source. Repair or replacement is quoted separately once the affected section is confirmed.
When Replacement May Be Recommended
If multiple sections of gas piping are corroded or improperly sized, a full whole house gas repipe may be recommended instead of repeated spot repairs.
- Extensive corrosion
- Multiple failed fittings
- Undersized gas piping
- Older black iron pipe deterioration
We provide clear findings so you can make an informed decision.
