When other contractors leave you waiting days for parts or permits, we move fast. Our local relationships with suppliers and utility companies mean we get your gas service restored while others are still making phone calls.

Our gas leak repair service covers everything from minor fitting leaks to major underground line failures. We handle gas line repairs for water heaters, furnaces, stoves, dryers, and outdoor appliances like pool heaters and BBQ connections.
Colfax’s older neighborhoods often have aging gas lines that develop leaks from ground settling or corrosion. We’re experienced with both newer flexible gas lines and older steel pipe systems common in our area. Our repairs meet all California safety codes and local requirements.
We also install automatic gas shut-off valves—particularly important in California where seismic activity can damage gas lines. These safety devices automatically stop gas flow during earthquakes, providing an extra layer of protection for your Colfax home and family.
The most obvious sign is the distinctive rotten egg smell that gas companies add to natural gas for safety. You might also hear a hissing or whistling sound near gas lines or appliances, see dead vegetation near underground gas lines, or notice physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or nausea when multiple people in your home experience them simultaneously.
Some Colfax residents miss gas leaks because of “odor fade”—a condition where soil or new pipes absorb the smell. That’s why we also look for visual signs like dirt blowing from the ground, unusual bubbling in wet areas, or higher-than-normal gas bills that might indicate a leak you can’t smell.
If you suspect any gas leak, don’t try to locate it yourself. Leave the area immediately, avoid using electrical switches or phones inside, and call us from a safe location. We have specialized detection equipment that can locate leaks safely and accurately.
We provide 24/7 emergency response for gas leaks in Colfax and can typically reach you within an hour of your call, depending on your exact location and current service calls. Gas leaks are our highest priority because of the serious safety risks involved.
Our emergency service covers all of Colfax, from downtown near the railroad tracks to the residential areas up toward Foresthill Road. We keep emergency repair materials stocked on our service vehicles so we can often complete repairs the same day rather than leaving you without gas service.
Unlike some contractors who schedule gas leak calls for “next business day,” we understand that gas emergencies can’t wait. When you smell gas or your utility company has tagged your meter, we respond immediately to get your situation assessed and contained safely.
We only shut off gas to the specific area being repaired whenever possible. For minor leaks at appliance connections or individual fixtures, we can often keep gas flowing to the rest of your home while we work. However, major leaks or main line repairs may require shutting off your entire gas supply temporarily.
If your utility company has already shut off and “red-tagged” your meter due to a safety concern, we handle all the coordination to get your service restored. This includes obtaining proper permits, completing repairs to code, and scheduling the required inspection before your gas can be turned back on.
We work efficiently to minimize your time without gas service. Most repairs are completed within a few hours, though complex underground repairs might take longer. We’ll give you realistic timeframes upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Gas leak repair costs depend on the location and complexity of the leak. Simple repairs like loose fittings or connections typically cost $150-$300, while more complex repairs involving underground lines can range from $800-$3,000 depending on excavation requirements and pipe replacement needs.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work so you know exactly what to expect. Our estimates include labor, materials, and any permit fees required for your Colfax repair. We don’t charge extra for emergency service calls because we understand gas leaks can’t wait for business hours.
Many homeowners find that addressing gas leaks quickly actually saves money by preventing larger problems and avoiding extended utility shutoffs. We also work with your insurance company when gas leaks cause property damage, helping you navigate the claims process.
Yes, we repair gas leaks for all residential gas appliances including water heaters, furnaces, stoves, ovens, dryers, fireplaces, and outdoor equipment like pool heaters and BBQ connections. We’re experienced with both natural gas and propane systems common in Colfax homes.
Our technicians are trained on the specific gas line configurations used for different appliances. We understand the pressure requirements and safety considerations for each type of connection, ensuring repairs meet manufacturer specifications and local codes.
We also handle gas meter and main line issues, coordinating with PG&E when needed. Whether your leak is at a single appliance or affects your entire gas system, we have the expertise and licensing to complete the repair safely and correctly.
Leave your home immediately without using any electrical switches, phones, or devices that could create a spark. Don’t try to locate the leak or turn appliances on or off. Get everyone outside to a safe location at least 300 feet away from your house.
Once you’re safely outside, call your gas company’s emergency line and then call us for repair service. If the smell is very strong or you hear hissing sounds, also call 911. Don’t re-enter your home until professionals have determined it’s safe.
While waiting for help, keep others away from the area and don’t smoke or use any ignition sources nearby. If it’s safe to do so from outside your home, you can shut off the main gas valve at your meter, but only if you know how to do this safely. We’ll guide you through immediate safety steps when you call our emergency line.
