Piping That Feeds Your Appliances

A gas line plumber in Los Gatos handles the pipe that carries PG&E natural gas from the meter to your range, dryer, furnace, water heater or fireplace. Done well, it is invisible. Done poorly, it is the riskiest plumbing in the house.

Our work covers extending a line for a new appliance, repairing a corroded section, adding a shutoff valve and replacing worn connectors. Odor safety comes first: if you smell gas, get everyone out, then call 911 or PG&E from a safe distance. Do not flip switches or use a phone inside.

Gas line repair in Los Gatos homes with aging pipe

Older black iron can corrode at fittings, and pipe near soil or damp crawlspaces is most exposed. We pressure-test the run and replace failing sections.

New appliance connection

Adding a range, dryer, outdoor fire feature or barbecue stub means extending a line sized for the load. We check capacity before we cut.

Shutoff valve installation

Each appliance should have its own reachable valve, so you can isolate it without going near the meter.

Earthquake-minded upgrades

Flexible connectors and secured appliances hold up better when the ground moves. Some owners also ask about an automatic seismic shutoff valve, and we can discuss whether one suits your setup. Living in earthquake country makes the question fair.

Permit and inspection

Gas work typically needs a permit and an inspection through the town's building department. We explain the process before starting, so nothing gets closed up without sign-off.

Care Around Gas Comes First

Safety before speed

We test for leaks and confirm each joint before an appliance is lit, then show you the result.

Pressure tested

Lines are tested and inspected, never assumed sound just because the appliance worked yesterday.

Inspections respected

We plan around the permit process instead of skipping it.

Clear about limits

The line running from the street to your meter is PG&E's. We work on the house side and help you reach the utility when needed.

Straight scoping

You hear what needs doing, in what order, before work begins, so there are no surprises behind the drywall.

Houses from the postwar building boom often carry original black iron, and hillside houses may run gas along crawlspaces and steep side yards. We can discuss nearby towns by phone.

Gas Line Questions Answered

Smelled gas in the house, what now?

Get everyone out right away without touching any switches. Once outside, or at a neighbor's home, call 911 or PG&E's gas emergency line. Do not go back in until it is cleared.

Can I shut off gas at the meter myself?

In an emergency, yes, with a wrench on the quarter-turn valve. Do not turn it back on yourself; PG&E advises calling them to restore service safely.

Is a permit needed to move a gas range?

Extending or altering gas piping usually does, since the town inspects that work, while swapping an appliance onto an existing connection may not. We tell you which applies after seeing the setup.

Why do appliances use flexible connectors?

They let a range or dryer slide out for service and give a little when the ground shakes. Old, kinked or corroded ones should be replaced, and the right length matters for your appliance.

What does a typical visit involve?

Residential gas line service in Los Gatos begins at the meter, follows the run to the appliance, tests it, does the work and tests again.

Can I find a small leak by smell?

Do not rely on your nose alone, and never use a flame. If a smell comes and goes, call PG&E or us so the line is tested with proper equipment.
