I smell gas. What should I do right now?

Leave the building first. Don't switch anything on or off, including lights. Once you're outside, call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000. Do not wait to call a plumber first — this is the one thing on our site that is not a scheduling question.

Do I need a permit for gas line work?

Effectively always, and you want one. Permitted, inspected gas work is what protects your home insurance position and your resale. We pull it as part of the job rather than leaving it to you.

What is a seismic gas shut-off valve?

A valve that automatically cuts the gas supply when it senses shaking above a set threshold. Given where we live, it's a reasonable piece of insurance, and some jurisdictions require one on certain work. It's a straightforward install on most services.

Can you run a line for a new range or outdoor kitchen?

Yes — new appliance runs, extensions and relocations, sized properly for the appliance load rather than just teed off the nearest available pipe.

Gas work is the part of plumbing where the margin for improvisation is zero, so our approach here is deliberately unexciting: correct sizing for the actual appliance load, proper materials for the run, a pressure test on completion, and a permit with an inspection behind it.

We handle new appliance runs, extensions and relocations, leak investigation and repair, capping lines for removed appliances, and seismic shut-off valve installation.

One thing worth planning for: if you’re replacing gas appliances over the next few years, the Bay Area’s zero-NOx phase-in changes what you’ll be allowed to install as a replacement. It’s worth knowing which of your gas appliances are affected and when, rather than finding out on the day one fails. We wrote up the dates and what they actually mean in our guide to the Bay Area gas water heater rules.

Permitted and pressure-tested as standard. Quoted after we've seen the run.

Recent plumbing work

Heat pump water heater with recirculation

Installed a Rheem heat pump water heater with an expansion tank and a recirculation pump, running dedicated hot, cold and recirculation lines to manufacturer spec. Hot water now reaches the far fixtures without the long wait a heat pump tank can otherwise introduce — and the household is ahead of the Bay Area zero-NOx replacement deadline rather than scrambling when the old tank failed.

Smart toilet installation

Removed the old fixture, adjusted the rough-in and supply, and set and sealed the new unit — clean finish, no leaks.

Water heater replacement & repipe

Installed a new Bradford White tank, pressure-tested the system, and upgraded the supply piping. Stable pressure, reliable hot water, no leaks.
