We handle all types of gas line repairs, from small leaks at appliance connections to major underground line replacements. Our service includes leak detection, pipe repair and replacement, gas meter connections, and safety inspections.
Newcastle’s soil conditions and California’s seismic activity require specific installation techniques and materials. We use approved pipe materials that can handle local environmental factors and meet state requirements for buried gas lines at proper depths.
Whether you’re dealing with an aging gas line that needs replacement or a sudden leak that requires emergency attention, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it safely. Our work comes with the confidence that comes from proper licensing, insurance, and years of local experience.
Gas line repair costs typically range from $150 to $800 depending on the location and extent of the damage. Simple repairs like fixing a small leak near an appliance usually cost $150 to $300.
More complex repairs, such as replacing damaged sections of pipe or fixing underground leaks, can cost $300 to $2,000 or more. The final cost depends on factors like accessibility, materials needed, and whether excavation is required.
We provide upfront estimates so you know what to expect before we start work. Many of our customers find that our transparent pricing approach means no surprises when the job is done.
The most obvious sign is the smell of rotten eggs, which is added to natural gas specifically so you can detect leaks. You might also hear a hissing sound near gas appliances or see dead vegetation around outdoor gas lines.
Other warning signs include higher than normal gas bills, appliances that aren’t working properly, or feeling symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or nausea when you’re inside your home. If you notice dirt or dust blowing around gas line areas, that can also indicate a leak.
If you suspect any gas leak, leave the area immediately, don’t use electrical switches or create sparks, and call us right away. Gas leaks are serious safety hazards that require immediate professional attention.
Yes, California requires permits for most gas line installations, repairs, and alterations to ensure safety standards are met. The specific permit requirements depend on the scope of work and local Newcastle building codes.
We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. This ensures your repair work is properly documented and meets all safety requirements.
Working without proper permits can create liability issues and problems if you ever sell your home. Our licensed technicians know exactly what permits are needed and take care of the paperwork for you.

No, gas line repairs should never be attempted as DIY projects. California law requires licensed professionals for gas line work because of the serious safety risks involved. Even small mistakes can lead to dangerous leaks or explosions.
Licensed gas line technicians have specialized training, proper tools, and knowledge of safety codes that homeowners don’t possess. They also carry insurance and can obtain necessary permits that protect you legally.
The money you might think you’re saving by doing it yourself isn’t worth the risk to your family’s safety or the potential liability issues. Professional repair ensures the work is done safely and meets all legal requirements.
We recommend annual gas line inspections, especially for homes over 20 years old or if you use gas frequently for heating, cooking, and hot water. Regular inspections can catch small problems before they become dangerous or expensive.
You should also schedule an inspection after any major home renovations, landscaping projects, or if you notice any changes in how your gas appliances are performing. Newcastle’s soil conditions and California’s seismic activity can affect underground gas lines over time.
Professional inspections include checking for leaks, testing gas pressure, examining connections, and ensuring all components meet current safety standards. It’s a small investment that can prevent major problems and keep your family safe.
