Shutoff support
If you can't reach or turn your gas shutoff, we'll guide you or handle it on arrival.

Gas Line Emergency Response
Smell gas right now? Leave the building first. Don't flip switches, light anything, or start a car in the garage. Call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 from outside — then call us.
Once the utility has made the scene safe, the repair side is ours: finding the leak, fixing the line, testing it properly, and getting your appliances running again.
Signs you need this now
Do not ignore these signals.
Rotten-egg smell indoors or near appliances
A hissing sound near a gas line or meter
Dead vegetation in a strip over a buried line
A gas appliance that keeps going out
A pilot flame burning orange instead of blue
What we do when you call
Fast triage, then the right repair.
Find the leak
Pressure testing and leak isolation across the line, not just where the smell is strongest.
Repair and re-test
The line is fixed, then proven tight under test before gas flows again.
Relight and verify
Every appliance relit and checked, so you're not left with a cold house and a working meter.
Quick FAQ
Before you call.
The utility already came — why do I need a plumber?
The utility makes the scene safe and may shut off your meter, but they don't repair the lines in your home. That repair, the pressure test, and the relight are our job.
Do you install earthquake shutoff valves?
Yes — and if you're in LA County, it's worth doing before you ever need it. Ask when you call.
Can't talk right now?
Gas is off and you're safe? Request a callback.
