California has some of the strictest gas line installation requirements in the country, and for good reason. Underground gas lines must be buried at least 18 inches deep to prevent damage from routine landscaping or construction. All work must be performed by licensed contractors – DIY gas line work isn’t just dangerous, it’s illegal.
In Newcastle’s climate and soil conditions, proper materials matter even more. We use only approved piping materials like Schedule 40 metallic pipe or corrugated stainless steel tubing, depending on your specific installation. Every installation gets pressure tested to detect any potential leaks before your system goes live.
The permit and inspection process ensures everything meets current safety codes. Without proper permits, you risk code violations, insurance claim denials, and potentially dangerous situations that could have been prevented.
