safe & efficient
gas leak detection Stockton Experts
There are two main types of gas systems: propane and natural gas, and we service both. If there’s a leak, you’ll notice it because of the odorizing agents added to these gases. Your propane or gas utility provider (like PG&E) may also inform you if a leak is detected. Typically, these providers will shut off the gas and require the leak to be located, repaired, and inspected by the building department before restoring service. The initial step in this process includes isolating and pressure-testing the gas lines on the property. A gas leak detector can quickly pinpoint the location of the leak.
You might have a gas line supplying a pool or spa heater. Some homes have gas lines connected to barbecues or outdoor fire pits. Other lines supply essential appliances like furnaces, water heaters, dryers, fireplaces, and stoves. Our expert technicians cap or valve off each appliance to isolate them from the leaking line, ensuring additional protection against damage.

How do we locate a gas leak in Stockton?
In order to efficiently and safely identify the gas leak, we conduct a pressure test using a nonflammable, inert gas at a higher pressure than what the gas company typically supplies. We utilize a special tracer gas and a sensitive molecule counter to accurately locate the leak’s source, enabling us to proceed with the gas leak repair while also identifying any additional issues within the home’s gas lines.
Our technicians inspect all plumbing fixtures and valves with an ultrasonic listening device and map the entire plumbing system using a digital radio detection pipeline locator. This approach ensures precise leak detection. Our Stockton gas leak detection services allow you to quickly find and repair leaks, helping you restore normalcy in your home.
