Gas Line Repair & Installation Services in Southern California
24/7 Emergency Gas Leak Repair
A suspected gas leak can't wait for business hours. If you smell rotten eggs, hear hissing near a line, or SoCalGas has shut off your service, Repipe Once responds around the clock across Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley, the Inland Empire, and Orange County. We locate the leak with a controlled pressure test, complete the gas leak repair to code, and handle the documentation the utility needs to restore your service quickly.
First things first: if you smell gas right now, leave the building and call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from outside. Then call us at (833) 673-2577 — we'll take it from there.
Smell Gas in the Kitchen With the Burners Off?
Treat it as a leak until it is proven otherwise. Leave the house, do not switch lights or appliances on or off, and call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 or 911 from outside.
There is no one usual spot for a leak near a range. It can be the flexible connector behind the appliance, the shutoff valve that feeds it, or the fitting where the house line comes through the wall or floor, and guessing is not how it gets found. Once the utility has made the house safe, we isolate the system and pressure-test it, trace the drop to the exact fitting, make the repair, and test again.
A leak at a connector, a valve or a single fitting on otherwise sound pipe is a repair, not a replacement. The pressure test is what tells us whether the rest of the line is sound, and when it is, that is all the job is.
What Is Gas Line Repair & Installation?
Gas line repair involves fixing leaks, cracks, or other damage that can compromise the safety and efficiency of your system. Even a small issue can pose serious risks, which is why professional repair is critical. Gas line installation, on the other hand, is the process of adding or extending lines to power appliances like stoves, dryers, fireplaces, water heaters, or outdoor BBQs. At Repipe Once, we handle both repairs and installations with the highest standards of safety and compliance, ensuring your property has reliable gas service for years to come.
Signs You May Need Gas Line Repair
Gas line problems should never be ignored — even minor issues can quickly become serious safety hazards. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it’s important to call a professional right away:
- Rotten Egg Smell – A strong sulfur-like odor is the most common indicator of a gas leak.
- Hissing or Whistling Sounds – Noises near your gas lines may point to escaping gas.
- Unexplained Higher Gas Bills – Sudden spikes in your utility costs could signal a hidden leak.
- Weak or Failing Gas Appliances – Stoves, dryers, or water heaters not working properly may be struggling due to gas flow issues.
- Dead Grass or Plants Near Gas Lines – Leaking gas can kill vegetation around buried pipes.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait — gas leaks are an emergency. Repipe Once provides prompt, professional gas line repair to keep your property safe.

Whole-House Gas Repiping & Gas Line Replacement
Not every gas problem is a single leak. When a pressure test drops and the trace finds corrosion along the length of the pipe, when the line is undersized for the appliances now hanging off it, or when a remodel adds a range, a dryer, a water heater, and a fire pit to piping that was never sized for them, replacing the system is safer and more economical than chasing leaks one fitting at a time. Repipe Once replaces old or unsafe gas lines with new, code-compliant piping throughout the property (a whole-house gas repipe) as well as replacing individual runs.
The job runs like this: we isolate the existing system and pressure-test it to map every leak, plan new runs properly sized for each appliance, install the new piping from the meter to every appliance connection, and pressure-test the finished system before anything is closed up. The city inspects the work, and we complete the documentation SoCalGas requires before service is restored and the appliances are reconnected. Gas repiping comes up most often on older homes across Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley, on properties adding an ADU, and wherever a red-tagged meter turns out to be the symptom of a system that has reached the end of its life.
What Happens After SoCalGas Red-Tags Your Meter
A red tag means the utility found a leak or an unsafe condition and shut the gas off at the meter, and it will not turn it back on until the line on your side of the meter has been repaired and proved tight. The sequence is the same in every city we serve:
- Pressure test the line – We isolate the system, pressurize it, and trace every drop to its source, so the full extent is known before anything is fixed.
- Make the repairs or replacements – A single bad fitting is repaired. Pipe that is corroded along its length or undersized for the appliances is replaced, up to a whole-house gas repipe.
- Pressure test again – The finished system is tested a second time, and we make sure it clears before anyone is called back.
- SoCalGas inspects and restores service – With the test passed and the documentation complete, the utility comes out, inspects, and turns the gas back on. The city inspects permitted work before the walls close.
What costs people days is calling the utility back before the line is actually tight. We do not; the second test clears before SoCalGas is asked to return.
Gas Line Repair in Orange County & Across Los Angeles
From gas pipe repair in San Gabriel, Monterey Park, and Alhambra to gas line repair in Anaheim, Huntington Beach, and the rest of Orange County, our licensed technicians cover the whole region: Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley, the Inland Empire, and Orange County alike. Wherever you are in our service area, you get the same upfront pricing, permitted work, and done once, done right guarantee. See all the locations we serve.
Orange County is worth calling out, because permitting there is not one process. There is no single county-wide counter for this work. Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, Costa Mesa and the rest each run their own Building & Safety department, with their own submittal requirements and their own inspection scheduling. The same gas line repair can clear inspection on very different timelines depending on which city the meter sits in, and a contractor who works one OC city occasionally tends to learn that the hard way, mid-job, with the gas still off.
What does not change city to city is the sequence. SoCalGas serves the whole region, and once a meter is red-tagged the gas stays off until the system holds a pressure test and passes inspection, with no exceptions, whichever jurisdiction you are in. We can pull the permit for you in whichever OC city the property sits in, or you can pull it yourself if you prefer. When we pull it, we also meet that city's inspector and coordinate the utility's return, so the variable part is ours to manage rather than yours to chase. Gas line repair in Orange County is routine work for us, not a trip out of area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge extra for gas line repair in Orange County?
No. Orange County is part of our standard service area, not a call-out — same upfront pricing as Los Angeles or the San Gabriel Valley, with no travel surcharge.
Who issues the gas permit for my Orange County property?
Your city, not the county. Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Huntington Beach and the rest each run their own Building & Safety department with their own submittal and inspection process, which is why timelines vary across OC. We can pull the permit for you in whichever city the property sits in, or you can pull it yourself if you prefer. When we pull it, we also meet that city's inspector.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building immediately, don't flip switches or create sparks, and call SoCalGas (1-800-427-2200) or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made the situation safe, call Repipe Once at (833) 673-2577 to locate and repair the leak and restore your service.
Does a gas leak mean the gas line has to be replaced?
Not usually. A leak at a connector, a valve or a single fitting on otherwise sound pipe is a repair. Replacement is for pipe that is corroded along its length or too small for the appliances now connected to it, and when that describes the whole system, we replace it end to end as a whole-house gas repipe. We pressure-test the system to find every leak before recommending either.
Where do gas leaks near a stove usually come from?
There is no one usual spot. A leak near a range can be at the flexible connector, the shutoff valve, or the fitting where the line comes through the wall or floor. We find it with a pressure test and a trace rather than by guessing, and most of these are a repair at that one point.
How do you find a gas leak?
We isolate the system and perform a controlled pressure test, then trace the drop to the exact failure point using detection equipment. This finds leaks hidden underground or inside walls without unnecessary demolition.
Do I need a permit and inspection for gas line work?
Yes. Gas line repair, replacement, and new installation require a permit and inspection, and the utility requires a passing pressure test before restoring service. Repipe Once can pull the permit for you, or you can pull it yourself if you prefer. When we pull it, we also handle the testing and documentation.
Can you run a new gas line for a stove, dryer, BBQ, or fire pit?
Yes. We install new gas lines for appliances, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and generators — properly sized, code-compliant, and pressure-tested before first use.
Do you do whole-house gas repiping?
Yes. When corrosion or undersizing affects the whole system rather than one fitting, we replace the gas piping throughout the property with new, code-compliant lines sized for your appliances. The work is permitted, pressure-tested, inspected by the city, and documented for SoCalGas before service is restored.
