Gas Lines in an Earthquake-Prone Area
Colton sits close to active fault lines in Southern California, and gas lines that aren't properly secured can be damaged during ground shaking, creating a serious fire or explosion risk. Many homes benefit from a seismic shutoff valve, which automatically cuts gas flow if it detects significant shaking, giving you one less thing to worry about during an earthquake.
We also make sure every gas connection we install follows proper bracing and flexible connector requirements for appliances, not just the strict minimum.

Gas Line FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the home immediately, avoid flipping light switches or using anything that could spark, and call your gas utility's emergency line from a safe location outside. Once it's safe, call us to locate and repair the issue.
Do I need a permit for a new gas line?
In most cases, yes. We handle the permit application as part of the installation so you don't have to navigate that process yourself.
Is a seismic shutoff valve worth installing?
Given Colton's earthquake risk, many homeowners consider it a worthwhile safety upgrade. It automatically shuts off gas flow during significant shaking, reducing fire risk after a quake.
Can you run a gas line to my outdoor kitchen or fire pit?
Yes, we run new gas lines for outdoor appliances including fire pits, grills, and outdoor heaters, all pressure tested before use.
How do you test for gas leaks?
We use pressure testing equipment that can detect even small leaks in the line, which is more reliable than relying on smell alone.
