safe & efficient
gas leak detection
There are two types of gas systems: propane and natural gas. We work on both. If you’ve got a leak, you’ll smell it, due to the odorizing agents added to both of these gases. Your propane or gas utility provider (say, PG&E) might also notify you of a leak. These providers typically turn off the gas and require location, repair, and permitting by the building department before they’ll resupply gas service. The first step in this process involves isolating and pressure testing the different gas lines on the property. A gas leak detector can help to find the leak quickly.
You may have a gas line feeding the pool or spa heater. Some homes have gas-fed barbeques and outdoor firepits. Other gas lines supply furnaces and fixtures in the home, including hot-water heaters, dryers, fireplaces, and ranges. Our skilled technicians valve or cap off each fixture and appliance to isolate them from the leaking line and provide further protection against damage.

How do we locate a gas leak?
To safely and efficiently locate the leak, we perform a pressure test, using a nonflammable, inert gas at a higher working pressure than the gas company provides. Special tracer gas and a sensitive molecule counter pinpoint the source of leakage, which allows us to get to the gas leak repair while also recognizing if there is more than one problem in the home’s gas lines.
We check all the plumbing fixtures and valves with an ultrasonic listening device, and we map out the entire plumbing system using a digital radio detection pipeline locator. This ensures the highest level of accuracy when pinpointing your leak. Our Sacramento gas leak detection services help you find your leak quickly so that it can be repaired, and you can get your homelife back to normal. Contact us and schedule an appointment today.
