- A gas appliance that won't stay lit
- Adding a gas range, dryer, or outdoor appliance
What Redwood City does to its plumbing
The Peninsula's water is the soft exception on our service map: Redwood City's supply comes entirely from the SFPUC's Hetch Hetchy-fed regional system, averaging around 62 milligrams per liter, under 4 grains per gallon, so the scale problems that dominate our other markets barely register here. The ground is another matter.
The San Andreas Fault passes about 2,000 feet from the city's southwestern edge, bayside neighborhoods sit on Bay Mud and filled tidal flats with documented high shrink-swell clays and liquefaction potential, and the USGS gives the Bay Area a 72 percent chance of a magnitude 6. 7 or larger earthquake within 30 years.
Water heater strapping is state law, and the city inspects it on every permitted swap. The housing runs old too, median year built 1969 with roughly a third of it predating 1960, and neighboring cities, San Mateo and Burlingame among them, require sewer lateral certification when a property changes hands.
California homes should have a seismic gas shutoff valve; it closes automatically in a strong quake, and we install and test them.
Right tool, right diagnosis
What we handle
We match the repair to what is actually happening inside the system.
Explore our Plumbing services company-wide.
Leak detection and repair
Locate the leak with gas-rated detection equipment, repair it, and pressure-test the line. Gas-rated detectors find what soap bubbles cannot, including small leaks in buried lines that show up as a smell with no obvious source.
New gas lines
Code-compliant lines for ranges, dryers, water heaters, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We handle the permits. We size the line for the whole house's appliance load at once, so the furnace does not starve the moment the new tankless fires.
Line rerouting and capping
Remodeling? We move or safely cap lines as the plan changes. Capped correctly means capped, tested, and documented, which future you (or your home inspector) will appreciate.
Pressure testing
Every line we touch is tested before it goes back in service. The line holds test pressure before the gas goes back on. That is the standard, every time, no exceptions.
Straight answers
What moves the price on gas line service
Gas work is priced around safety steps that do not get skipped: locating, pressure testing, and the permit and inspection your city requires.
Repair or new run
Fixing a leaking fitting is a small job. Running a new line to a range, dryer, or fire pit prices by distance, pipe size, and routing.
Permit and inspection
Gas lines are permitted work, and the inspection is part of the price. Anyone quoting gas work without it is telling you something.
Location of the leak
A leak at an accessible fitting is quick. A leak in a buried or in-wall run involves finding it precisely first, which is what the detection equipment is for.
Appliance demand
Total BTU load determines pipe sizing. Adding a tankless water heater or an outdoor kitchen can push the load past what the existing run can feed, and then the supply line itself gets upsized.
