Gas Line Repairs & Installation Davis CA

Gas Line Repairs & Installation

Looking to install a gas-powered BBQ/fire pit in the backyard, or maybe you and your family have been noticing a gas smell coming from under the house? Here at The Toilet Whisperer, we can perform gas line repairs from a ½ line that feeds your water heater to a 2-inch commercial mainline. When it comes to gas, you and your family are essential, and you don't want to take any chances by hiring a handyman or your uncle Bob to repair, so hire a professional that will get the repair done safely and efficiently so that it can last for years to come.

When you notice gas smells in or around the home, always make sure to call PG&E to come out and identify where and if there is a leak from an appliance or possibly from a connection underground. PG&E will assess and inform you if it's something they are responsible for or if it's something the homeowner will need to fix. After evaluating, PG&E will turn off the gas meter to the home and inform the homeowner to call a licensed plumber to repair the problem before they turn the gas back on.

Here at The Toilet Whisperer, we will come out to assess where the gas line may be leaking, find the leak's location, repair the gas line, and test the line for no more leaks—tired of running out of propane for those family BBQs or wanting to run a gas line for an outdoor fireplace. Here at The Toilet Whisperer, we can pull permits, run the gas line, and have it ready for you.

Gas Line Repair and Installation Services

Have a natural gas leak? Need gas line repiping or a capacity upgrade? Want to switch from electric to gas appliances? Only experienced master plumbers are qualified to provide safe gas line repair and gas line installation services.

Natural gas is convenient and inexpensive with its high capacity for fast heating. But unlike do-it-yourself plumbing projects, there are no water drips to show a leak, and the tiniest of leaks pose serious hazards. Working on gas lines requires special training and an understanding of suitable materials and techniques. There’s no room for error. Our team has everything it takes to take care of residential and commercial gas leak detection, repairs, upgrades, and installations.

The Toilet Whisperer plumbing provides professional and affordable gas line repair and replacement services to all Winters, Davis, Woodland, Dixon, West Sacramento, and surrounding areas.

Gas Leak Emergencies

It’s rather apparent that gas leaks can lead to fires and even explosions, but many people don’t know that they can also lead to asphyxiation if it displaces enough oxygen. Natural gas is odorless, so utilities add a rotten smell to help alert people to problems. It’s also lighter than air, so if you smell the odorant and aren’t right beside a pilot light that’s gone out, you have a severe problem. And even small gas leaks can be deadly.

If you smell that sulfur-like odor, evacuate the area immediately. Don’t even turn off electric appliances, as the switch may cause a spark. If possible, shut off the gas at an outdoor main shut-off valve. Then give us a call for emergency service.

Err on the side of caution, and if need be, call 911 to have first responders shut off the gas for you and clear the area.

Gas Line Repair

Gas piping is durable and must meet high safety standards, but nothing lasts forever. Corrosion, dried-out seals, improper installation, earthquakes, and mechanical impacts can all cause gas leaks. Most commonly occur along fittings and valves connecting to appliances such as water heaters, stoves, and clothes dryers.

Our experts can find and fix whatever problem you have. They may use a tried-and-true bubble leak detection test on suspect fittings or high-tech gear such as ultrasonics, narrow-band infrared, electrochemical, or semiconductor sensors to track the exact location. In addition to skilled repairs, they’ll assess the condition of your lines for the likelihood of any additional or future leaks.

Gas Line Installation

Our master plumbers are skilled experts at gas line repiping and gas line installation, strictly following all standards (plumbing, fire, and local building codes) and local permit and inspection requirements. There are several important reasons you might need these services.

Your existing lines are old and must be replaced for safety reasons.

You need higher flow capacity when upgrading to higher capacity appliances such as tankless water heaters that require a higher flow rate than your existing pipes can deliver.

You want to switch from electric to natural gas for stove-top ranges, clothes dryers, or water heaters. Or you’re adding a fire pit or pool heater.

You’re remodeling your home or business, or perhaps adding a room, and need natural gas at new or different locations.
