We handle all types of gas line work in Folsom. From fixing leaks behind your stove to installing new lines for outdoor kitchens, we’ve got the tools and expertise to do it safely.
California requires gas lines to be buried at least 18 inches deep, and we follow every regulation to the letter. We use approved materials like black steel pipe and CSST tubing, and we install earthquake shutoff valves when required by your insurance company.
Folsom homeowners trust us because we understand local conditions. We know which permits you need, we work with city inspectors regularly, and we’re familiar with the gas line challenges that older homes in the area face.
Gas line repair costs in Folsom typically range from $45 to $150 per hour, depending on the complexity of the work. Simple fixes like tightening connections or replacing small sections of pipe cost less, while major repairs or line replacements cost more.
We always provide upfront pricing before we start any work. Unlike some companies, we don’t charge diagnostic fees—the estimate we give you is exactly what you’ll pay. California’s higher cost of living means gas line work here averages around $950 for larger projects, but we work hard to keep our prices fair and competitive.
Yes, California law requires permits for any natural gas installation or major repair work, regardless of size. This isn’t optional—it’s a legal requirement that protects you and your family.
We handle all permit applications for you and work directly with Folsom’s building inspection department. Skipping permits can lead to code violations, denied insurance claims, and forced rework that costs much more than doing it right the first time. Our licensed technicians know exactly which permits are needed for your specific project, and we make sure everything is properly inspected and approved.
The most obvious sign of a gas leak is the distinctive “rotten egg” smell that utility companies add to natural gas. You might also hear a hissing sound near gas appliances or see dead vegetation around underground gas lines in your yard.
If you suspect a gas leak, don’t use any electrical switches, light matches, or create sparks. Get everyone out of the house immediately and call your gas company’s emergency line first, then call us. We respond quickly to gas leak emergencies because we understand how dangerous they can be. Our technicians have the proper equipment to detect even small leaks that you might not notice.
California’s earthquake risk makes gas shutoff valves essential safety equipment. These valves automatically cut off your gas supply when they detect seismic activity, preventing gas leaks that could cause fires or explosions after an earthquake.
Many insurance companies now require these valves, and some offer premium discounts when you install them. The valves are designed to trigger during significant ground movement, stopping gas flow at the source before it becomes dangerous. We install certified earthquake shutoff valves that meet California’s strict safety standards, and we can help you determine if your insurance company requires them.
No, California law prohibits DIY gas line work. Only licensed contractors can legally install, repair, or modify gas lines. This isn’t just a regulation—it’s a critical safety requirement.
Gas line work involves serious risks including explosions, fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Licensed professionals have the training, tools, and insurance to handle these hazards safely. We know California’s gas codes, understand proper pipe sizing and materials, and can ensure your installation passes inspection. Attempting DIY gas work can void your insurance, violate local codes, and put your family at risk.
Most gas line repairs take between one and four hours, depending on the problem’s location and complexity. Simple fixes like replacing a connector or sealing a small leak can be done quickly, while major repairs or line replacements take longer.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling—we understand that gas leaks can’t wait. For planned work, we typically schedule repairs within 24-48 hours of your call. The permit and inspection process may add a day or two for major installations, but we coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your schedule. We always give you realistic time estimates upfront so you can plan accordingly.
