A gas line problem is the kind you don't sit on. Maybe you catch that rotten-egg smell near the water heater, or the range won't light the way it used to. Sometimes the sign is quiet: a hissing behind the wall, or a gas bill that keeps climbing for no reason. Older corroded pipe, a bad fitting, or ground movement can all let gas escape. When we get the call, the first thing we do is make the area safe, then find the leak instead of guessing at it.

Our plumber checks the whole line with a pressure test and an electronic gas detector, so we find the exact spot instead of tearing out drywall on a hunch. From there the fix depends on what we find. A single bad fitting gets repaired. A stretch of pipe eaten up by rust gets replaced with new material rated for the job. Adding a line for a new stove, a tankless water heater, an outdoor grill, or a pool heater? We size the pipe for the load and tie it in clean, then test it before we hand it back to you.

San Antonio has a real mix of housing. Older homes in Monte Vista, Olmos Park, and Alamo Heights often run galvanized or older black iron that's had decades to corrode. Newer builds out in Stone Oak, Cibolo, and Schertz have their own quirks where lines meet slabs and appliances. Our clay-heavy soil shifts with the wet-dry swings we get here, and that movement can strain buried gas piping over time. We work in all of it, from Southtown and Terrell Hills to Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, and Universal City.

We pull permits where the city or county requires them and leave the connection ready for inspection. If you're not sure whether you're dealing with a leak or just a finicky appliance, call us. We'd rather come check than have you wonder about it overnight.

Common questions

I smell gas right now. What should I do?
Don't flip switches, light anything, or use your phone inside. Get everyone out, open a door on your way if it's easy, and call the gas utility's emergency line from outside. Then call us. If it's a strong smell, leave the house first and call from the yard or a neighbor's.
Do I need a permit to add a gas line?
Usually yes. San Antonio and the surrounding suburbs require a permit and an inspection for new gas piping and most line replacements. We handle the permit and leave the work ready for the inspector so you're not chasing paperwork.
Can you run a line for a new appliance?
Yes. We add lines for gas ranges, tankless and standard water heaters, dryers, outdoor grills, fire pits, and pool heaters. We size the pipe to the appliance's demand and any others already on the line so everything gets steady pressure.
How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?
We start with a pressure test to confirm there's a leak and roughly where it is, then use an electronic gas detector to narrow it down to the exact fitting or section. That way we open only what we have to, not whole walls.
