Not an emergency? Request service for a gas line assessment.
Signs of a Gas Problem
- A rotten-egg smell. Utilities add it so you can notice a leak.
- A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line or appliance
- A gas appliance that acts up, such as a pilot light that keeps going out
- A gas bill that jumps with no change in use
- Dead or discolored plants over a buried gas line
- Headaches or dizziness at home that go away when you leave
Any of these can be serious. If you smell gas, don't investigate. Leave first.
Who Handles What: SoCalGas or Your Plumber
The gas utility typically handles the meter and the lines leading up to it. Piping on your side of the meter, inside the home or building, is typically a licensed plumber's job. If you smell gas, call SoCalGas or 911 first. Once it's safe, we handle the repair.

We repair and replace gas piping when there's:

Gas Safety Tips for Homes and Businesses
- Know where your gas shutoff is. For most buildings, it's at the meter. Only use it if you can do so safely, then leave and call SoCalGas or 911.
- Keep the area around gas appliances clear of anything flammable.
- Install carbon monoxide alarms, and test them. They warn you about a different danger than a gas leak does.
- Get old or damaged gas piping checked before a remodel or a new appliance install.
How Much Does Gas Line Repair Cost?
The price depends on the pipe size, how much line is involved, how easy it is to reach and whether a permit is needed. You'll have an upfront price before we start.
