Gas work is not a DIY or a handyman job. It's licensed, code-driven work with real consequences, whether you're repairing a suspected leak, extending a line to a new range or fire pit, or connecting a generator or pool heater. We do it right and test it.
Signs of a gas line problem
- A rotten-egg or sulfur smell near appliances or the meter
- A hissing sound near a gas line or connection
- A pilot light that keeps going out
- Dead or discolored vegetation over a buried gas line
- Higher gas bills with no change in use
- A new appliance or addition that needs a gas line run
What's included
Every gas leak detection & repair job in El Dorado Hills covers the essentials below — no vague scopes, no surprise add-ons:
- A safety-first approach — the utility clears the immediate hazard before we work
- A pressure test of the system to locate leaks or failing sections
- Repair of failed sections or new line runs in correct materials and sizing
- Appliance connections for ranges, cooktops, fire pits, generators and pool heaters
- Permit handling and inspection coordination in El Dorado County
- A final pressure test confirming the system holds before service is restored
- Documentation of the test and repair for your records
Our gas line process

Hazard first
If there's an active odor, we make sure the utility/emergency response has addressed the immediate danger before we work.
- 2
Test and locate
We pressure-test the system and locate leaks or failing sections precisely.
- 3
Repair or install to code
We replace failed sections or run new line with correct materials, sizing and permits.
- 4
Pressure-test and verify
We confirm the system holds pressure and every connection is leak-free before restoring service.
- 5
Document
We record the test performed, the repair and any inspection so you have proof of safe work.
Safety, licensing and why it matters
California requires a licensed contractor for gas work that meets permit or dollar thresholds, and gas piping typically triggers permits and inspection in El Dorado County. That's not red tape — a mistake on a gas line is dangerous. We're a licensed C-36 contractor, we pull the permits, and we pressure-test every job before we call it done.
Safety comes before the wrench
If you smell gas, leave the property and call the gas utility or 911 first — before you call us. Avoid switches, flames and vehicles near the area, and never search for the leak yourself.
Once the immediate hazard is handled, we test the system, find the failing section, and repair it correctly. A mistake on a gas line is dangerous, which is exactly why it's licensed, permitted work.
New gas lines, done to code
Adding a gas range, a fire pit, a generator or a pool heater means sizing and routing new line correctly so every appliance gets the pressure it needs. Undersized runs cause weak flames and appliance faults.
We size the system for the total load, run it to code, and pressure-test every connection before it's put into service.
What affects the price
We use upfront, flat-rate pricing and give you the number before we start — no fake fixed quotes online, because the honest answer depends on your home. For gas leak detection & repair in El Dorado Hills, the main factors are:
- Detection versus repair versus new installation
- Length and routing of new or replacement line
- Access to the affected section (buried, wall, crawlspace)
- Permit and inspection requirements
- Appliance connections and sizing
