Safety comes before any repair. If you smell gas or hear hissing:
Leave the building with everyone in it.
Do not switch lights or appliances on or off, and do not light a flame.
Once outside, call 911 or the gas utility’s emergency line.
After the utility has made the area safe, contact us for the repair.
We offer 24/7 emergency service. We will not restore gas until the piping has been repaired and tested.
Signs of a Gas Line Problem
Not every gas problem announces itself with a strong odor. Watch for:
A sulfur or rotten egg smell near an appliance or the meter
A hissing or whistling sound near gas piping
A gas bill that climbs without a change in use
Yellow or flickering burner flames instead of a steady blue
Bubbles in standing water or dead plants over a buried gas line
A pilot light that keeps going out
Any one of these is worth a call. More than one means stop using the affected appliance until it is checked.
Gas Line Repairs We Handle
Our gas repair work in San Francisco covers the piping from the meter outlet to each appliance:
Leaking joints and fittings on exposed or concealed piping
Corroded pipe sections in garages, crawlspaces, and basements
Flexible connectors at water heaters, ranges, and dryers
Shutoff valves that stick, leak, or will not close
Buried yard lines to outdoor appliances or detached structures
Damaged piping after remodeling or other construction
If a section is beyond repair, we explain why and quote a replacement of that run.

Gas Line Repair in San Francisco: FAQs
Who inspects gas line repairs in San Francisco?
The Department of Building Inspection’s Plumbing Inspection Division. It inspects drainage, water, gas, and other mechanical installations in buildings that are newly constructed, remodeled, or repaired. We arrange the inspection as part of the job.
Does a gas line repair in San Francisco need a permit?
We confirm the requirements with DBI before work starts. When a permit applies, we pull it and handle the inspection, so you do not have to visit the Permit Center.
Is Works Plumbing licensed for gas work in San Francisco?
Yes. We are licensed and insured, and we hold a C-36 plumbing contractor license. DBI lists C36 among the licenses it accepts for plumbing permits.
What should I do if I smell gas in my San Francisco home?
Leave the building, avoid switches and flames, and call 911 or the gas utility from outside. Once the area is safe, we can find and repair the leak.
Do you repair gas lines in flats and multi-unit buildings?
Yes. We work in single-family homes, flats, and light commercial buildings. In shared buildings, we coordinate with the owner or HOA when piping serves more than one unit.
Do you offer emergency gas line repair in San Francisco?
Yes. We offer same-day service and 24/7 emergency response. We make the piping safe first, then repair and test it before gas is restored.

Pro tip
Know where your gas shutoff is before you need it. If your San Francisco garage doubles as storage, keep boxes and bikes clear of the meter and valve so the gas can be shut off quickly when a leak is suspected.

In San Francisco, a gas repair is not a quick patch behind a closed wall. The DBI Plumbing Inspection Division is responsible for inspecting installations of drainage, water, gas, and other mechanical systems in buildings that are newly constructed, remodeled, or repaired. A building whose gas piping has been repaired falls within that description.
The reason is the way gas piping fails. A gas system is under constant pressure. Leaks start at the weak points:
Threaded joints that loosen or lose their sealant
Corroded sections of older pipe
Flexible appliance connectors that kink, crack, or age out
Shutoff valves that no longer seal
A repair that fixes one joint while disturbing another can create a new leak. That is why the test after the repair matters as much as the repair itself.
We at Works Plumbing treat every gas repair as inspected work. We confirm permit requirements with DBI before work starts and pull the permit when one applies. After the repair, we pressure test the piping, check each connection, and arrange the inspection.
DBI’s plumbing permit page lists the contractor licenses it accepts, and C36, the plumbing contractor class, is among them. Works Plumbing holds a C-36 license, so the permit and the work stay with one licensed company.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
