If you smell gas right now
Natural gas has an added odor so leaks can be noticed. Other warning signs include:
Any of these deserves a call. A yellow flame or a pilot that will not stay lit can also be an appliance problem, and we check both.
Gas repairs fall into a few familiar groups:
We repair what failed and tell you if we see anything else that needs attention. We do not pad the job.
Before any repair, we confirm permit requirements with the City. For the meter reconnection test, the handout states a plumbing permit is required.
About 40 percent of Redwood City’s housing units were built before 1960, and the 1950s is the single largest decade, according to Census estimates. Many of those homes have had furnaces, water heaters, and ranges replaced several times, and each change added or altered a connection.
That history is why we test the whole run we work on, not just the fitting that failed. When an appliance swap is part of the job, such as water heater installation in Redwood City, we check the gas connection to the new unit before we leave.
Vacant homes and long remodels are the usual reason a Redwood City meter stays off past six months. If that describes your house, a little preparation keeps the process moving.
Before we arrive:
What we do on the visit:
A remodel that added a new gas branch is a slightly different case. The handout calls for a pressure test on new branches, so we plan the test around the new work as well as the existing piping.
Once the inspector signs off, the City sends the authorization to Pacific Gas and Electric. From there, you schedule the meter with the utility, and we can return to relight pilots and check each appliance.
Works Plumbing has been family owned and operated since 2009, based in Pacifica and serving the Peninsula. On every gas call you can count on:
We repair gas lines throughout Redwood City, from Redwood Shores and Downtown to Roosevelt, Woodside Plaza, Friendly Acres, and the Farm Hill Road area. See our full gas line service or the Redwood City plumbing page.
Our gas meter was removed more than six months ago. Can Pacific Gas and Electric just turn it back on?
No. Under the City’s Gas Pipe Testing handout, Pacific Gas and Electric requires a pressure test before it will set or reconnect a meter that has been off more than six months. A plumbing permit is required, and the City inspects the test.
Who tells Pacific Gas and Electric that our gas line passed the test?
The City does. When the inspection passes, Redwood City’s Inspection Division sends Pacific Gas and Electric the connection authorization automatically.
What does the Redwood City pressure test involve?
The handout calls for at least 10 psi held for at least 15 minutes, read on a gauge in 1/10 lb increments. We prepare the system and set up the test for the inspector.
Does every gas repair need a full pressure test?
Not always. The City handout says new branches need a pressure test, while short repair sections may be soap-tested. We confirm what applies to your job with the City.
Do I need a permit to repair a gas line in Redwood City?
For the meter reconnection test, yes, the handout requires a plumbing permit. For other repairs, we confirm permit requirements with the City before work starts.
We remodeled and the gas has been off since. What happens before we move back in?
If the meter has been off more than six months, the City’s pressure test applies before the meter is reset. We check the piping, cap any connections left from removed appliances, and prepare the system for the City inspection.

A look at real Works jobs around the Peninsula.
Some gas line repairs in Redwood City come with a test that has nothing to do with the original leak. The City’s Gas Pipe Testing handout, revised January 2026, explains it. After a gas meter has been disconnected for more than six months, for any reason, Pacific Gas and Electric requires a pressure test before it will set or reconnect the meter.
That covers more homes than people expect. A house that sat empty, a long remodel, or a meter pulled after a leak and never reset all qualify.
The handout sets the terms:
When the inspection passes, the City’s Inspection Division sends Pacific Gas and Electric the connection authorization automatically.
This is where repair and testing meet. Piping that has sat idle can hide loose fittings, damaged sections, or old branches that were never capped. A failed test sends everyone back to hunt for the leak. So we look for those problems first, repair them, and then set up the test for the City inspector. After sign-off, the City notifies Pacific Gas and Electric and you schedule the meter.
