Smell gas? Get everyone outside first, then call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 or 911. Don’t flip switches or use your phone until you’re out of the house.

Gas work needs to be done right

Gas lines feed your water heater, furnace, stove and dryer. New lines and changes need the right pipe size so every appliance gets enough gas, and they must be pressure-tested before they go into service.

In Los Angeles, many homeowners also add an earthquake shutoff valve at the gas meter, which stops the gas automatically during a strong quake.

Gas line services questions

Does new gas line work need a permit?

Most new gas lines need a permit and a city inspection, including a pressure test. It protects you and your home insurance.

What is an earthquake shutoff valve?

A valve at your gas meter that shuts off the gas automatically during a strong earthquake, which helps prevent fires from broken lines. Some cities require one for new construction or major remodels.

Can I move my stove or dryer myself?

Moving a gas appliance often means changing the gas line or connector. A licensed plumber should do it and test for leaks afterward.

How do I know if I have a gas leak?

A rotten-egg smell, a hissing sound, or plants dying near a buried line. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call SoCalGas or 911.
