A gas leak is the one plumbing problem you can't wait on. If you smell rotten eggs near your stove, water heater, or meter, get everyone outside and call. A plumber will find the source, shut it down, and pressure-test the line before anyone lights a pilot again. We serve the whole peninsula, from Cannery Row and New Monterey to Pacific Grove, Seaside, and out to Carmel Valley.
A lot of homes around Old Town Monterey and Monterey Vista have older steel gas lines that corrode from the inside over the years, and the salty coastal air doesn't help fittings outside. We use electronic sniffers and pressure gauges to track leaks down to the exact joint, so we fix what's actually broken instead of guessing. When a section is too far gone, we replace it with new pipe rated for the job.
Adding a gas range, a fire pit, a tankless water heater, or a dryer? We size and run new line to match the appliance and the code inspector's checklist, then test the whole system under pressure. You'll know what the work involves and how long it takes before we start, no surprises once we're in the wall.

Common questions
I smell gas right now. What should I do?
Get everyone out of the house, don't flip switches or light anything, and leave the door open behind you. Once you're outside, call us and call your gas utility. A plumber can be at most Monterey addresses in about 45 minutes to shut it off and find the leak.
Can you run a new gas line for a stove or tankless water heater?
Yes. We measure the distance and the appliance's demand, then run correctly sized pipe from your meter or an existing line. We pressure-test it and prep the work for the inspector before you connect the appliance.
How do you find a leak you can't see?
We use an electronic gas detector to sniff along the line and a pressure gauge to confirm the system is losing pressure. That tells us the section that's failing, so we open the wall or dig only where we need to.
Do you work outside the city of Monterey?
We cover the whole peninsula, including Pacific Grove, Seaside, Sand City, Marina, Del Rey Oaks, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, Carmel Valley, and Salinas.
