San Francisco County · Repair
Coordinated repair or replacement of confirmed gas line and fitting leaks.
The Ottesen Family in Sunset District, San Francisco noticed a soft, spongy patch in the side yard that stayed wet and wasn't sure how serious it was. Repair work on San Francisco's oldest gas lines, particularly in Victorian-era neighborhoods, is coordinated with PG&E and often requires extra care around the historic structures those lines run through. The leak was marked in that same visit, and the repair crew only had to open a small section instead of the whole area.

Repair work on San Francisco's oldest gas lines, particularly in Victorian-era neighborhoods, is coordinated with PG&E and often requires extra care around the historic structures those lines run through.
Gas service in San Francisco is provided by PG&E, and any leak confirmed on the utility side of the meter gets reported and coordinated directly with them as part of the repair process.
Gas leak repair work is held to a higher regulatory bar than water-side plumbing, since it involves utility coordination and code compliance. Once a leak is confirmed and located, repair options range from replacing a single failed fitting or valve to running a new supply line section if the existing pipe shows broader corrosion or damage. We coordinate directly with your utility and any required inspection steps as part of the repair process.
Because gas work carries real safety stakes, we don't cut corners on testing: every repair is pressure-tested and, where required, held for utility or code inspection before the line is put back into service.

A technician arrives with acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure or camera tools matched to your specific leak type.
The leak's exact location is marked and explained to you in plain terms, so nothing gets opened up on a guess.
You receive a written diagnostic report you can hand to your plumber, restoration team, or insurance company, with repair or fix options discussed on the spot.
“Old Victorian with plaster walls everywhere, so I was dreading this. They used thermal imaging and found the leak behind one wall panel instead of opening up the whole room. Saved us a big repair bill.”
“Ground near our garage had been soft for a while. Turned out to be the main line. They marked the exact dig spot and our plumber only had to open a two-foot section instead of the whole path.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
