A gas leak is the kind of problem you don't wait on. If you catch that rotten-egg smell near the stove, the water heater, or the meter, get everyone outside and call. We'll head your way and have a plumber at your door in about 45 minutes to shut things down and find the source.
Finding a leak takes the right tools, not a hunch. Our plumber pressure-tests the line, walks it with an electronic detector, and pinpoints the spot before touching a wrench. A lot of older homes around Downtown Hollister and San Juan Bautista still run older black-iron pipe that corrodes at the threads. Out in Tres Pinos, Paicines, and the ranch properties toward Aromas, buried lines shift with the dry clay soil and start to seep at the joints. We find the real problem instead of guessing.
We also run new lines. Adding a gas range, a dryer, a pool heater, or a fire pit means sizing the pipe for the load and pulling the proper permit. Our plumber lays it out, connects the appliance, and pressure-tests the whole run so you know it holds before you light anything. We explain what we found and what it takes to fix it, so there are no surprises when the work is done.

Common questions
I smell gas right now. What should I do?
Don't flip switches or light anything. Get everyone outside, leave the door open, and if the smell is strong, shut off the gas at the meter if you can reach it safely. Then call us from outside and we'll get a plumber out fast. If you feel dizzy or the smell is overwhelming, call 911 first.
Do I need a permit to add a gas line for a new appliance?
Usually yes. Adding a line for a range, dryer, or outdoor heater in Hollister and San Benito County typically requires a permit and an inspection. We handle the paperwork and size the pipe for the appliance so it passes the first time.
How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?
We pressure-test the system to confirm there's a leak, then use an electronic detector to walk the line and narrow it down to a small area. That means we open up only the spot we need to, whether the line runs through a wall or under the yard.
Which areas do you cover for gas work?
We work throughout Hollister and the surrounding towns, including Ridgemark, San Juan Bautista, Tres Pinos, Aromas, Paicines, Prunedale, and up the corridor to Gilroy, San Martin, Morgan Hill, Watsonville, and Salinas.
