Key points
A gas smell is an emergency. Leave, then call the utility from outside.
Daly City amends the plumbing code on where gas meters may go and how they may be screened.
Repairs on the house side of the meter are our work. The meter itself belongs to the utility.
Every repair ends with a pressure test.
Signs Your Gas Line Needs Repair
Some signs are urgent. Others show up slowly.
Leave and call the utility if you notice:
A rotten egg smell indoors or near the meter
A hissing sound near a gas pipe or appliance
An appliance flame that suddenly changes
Schedule a repair if you see:
Rust or flaking on exposed gas piping
A kinked or old flexible connector behind an appliance
A pilot that keeps going out after a gas leak was ruled out
Plans for a new range, dryer, heater, or fireplace that needs gas
We at Works Plumbing treat any reported smell as a leak until the test says otherwise.
What We Repair
Leaking fittings and joints on black iron or other approved gas piping
Damaged or outdated flexible connectors at ranges, dryers, and water heaters
Corroded pipe sections under the house or along exterior walls
New branch lines for a range, dryer, fireplace, or outdoor appliance
Piping changes at the meter area during a remodel or a screening project
Larger appliances can need more gas than the existing pipe was sized for. A tankless conversion is a common example, covered on our tankless water heaters in Daly City page.
How a Gas Line Repair Goes
Make it safe. We shut off gas at the appliance or at the house shutoff, as needed.
Find the leak. We use leak detection solution and testing equipment to pinpoint the source.
Repair. We replace the fitting, connector, or pipe section with approved materials.
Pressure test. The system holds test pressure before gas is restored.
Relight and check. We relight pilots and confirm each appliance runs.
We confirm permit requirements with the city before work starts, and we handle the permits and inspections when a job needs them.
Gas Lines and Water Heaters
Many gas calls in Daly City involve a water heater. A connector that has been moved too many times can crack, and a replacement heater may need a new connection.
Can my gas meter go inside a garage or closet in Daly City?
Daly City’s amendment to the plumbing code requires gas meters to be in ventilated spaces on the exterior of the building. If a remodel would enclose your meter, talk to us and the gas utility before you build.
Can I hide my gas meter behind a fence or cabinet?
The city’s rule says meters should be obscured from public view, but screening must keep the working space and clearances and follow the serving utility’s placement standards. We check access and ventilation before any work near the meter.
Who repairs the gas meter itself?
The gas utility handles the meter. We repair and replace the house piping on your side of it, and we coordinate when a job needs the utility’s help.
Do I need a permit for gas line repair in Daly City?
We confirm permit requirements with the city before work starts. When a permit applies, we pull it and schedule the inspection.
I am adding a tankless water heater. Will my gas line need changes?
Often, yes. A tankless heater can use far more gas at full fire than a tank, and Daly City asks for a gas pipe sizing diagram with the permit. We size the line before the heater goes in.
Do you offer emergency gas line repair in Daly City?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service and same-day visits. If you smell gas, leave the home and call the gas utility first, then contact us for the repair.

Pro tip
Planning a fence or cabinet around your Daly City gas meter? Check it first. The city requires meters to stay ventilated and readily accessible, so screening must leave the clearances and the shutoff open.

Gas line work in Daly City often starts at the meter, and the city has its own rule about that spot. The city’s local amendments to the 2025 California Plumbing Code include a revised Section 1208.6.1, Gas Meter Location. It states that gas meters “shall be located in ventilated spaces on the exterior of the building,” readily accessible for examination, reading, replacement, or maintenance, and “obscured from public view.”
The amendment also covers screening. A fence, panel, or enclosure that hides the meter must keep the working space and clearances around it, and must follow the serving utility’s placement standards.
Each part of the rule has a safety reason:
Exterior and ventilated: the meter and its fittings are joints in a pressurized gas line. Outdoors, a small leak disperses instead of collecting in a closed room.
Readily accessible: the shutoff at the meter has to be reachable in an emergency, and the utility needs room to read and replace the meter.
Screening with clearances: a box built tight around a meter can trap gas and block the shutoff.
This matters when a repair grows. Rerouting the house line at the meter or screening the meter area both touch this rule.
On a Daly City job near the meter, we check access and ventilation first. If a screen blocks either one, we tell you before any piping changes. Work on the meter itself goes through the gas utility.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
