What Is Gas Line Repair & Installation (Shut-Off Valve)?
A controlled service that isolates the gas system, performs pressure and leak testing, then repairs, reroutes, or adds new gas piping as needed.
We install listed shut-off valves at each appliance, add drip legs/sediment traps, ensure CSST bonding/grounding, verify regulator output, and recommission appliances with combustion checks where applicable—then document everything.
Why Choose White Glove Plumbing
Compliance & safety first: Techs trained in combustion air, venting, and code-compliant gas work with lockout/tagout awareness.
Documented chain of worky: Pressure logs, leak survey results, photos, and material lists for inspections.
Beyond a patch: We size lines, install appliance shutoffs & sediment traps, and correct regulator/venting issues.
One accountable team: If a leak caused secondary damage, we can ventilate, monitor, and sanitize affected areas.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Smell gas? Evacuate immediately—do not use switches/phones inside—then call your gas utility/911 from a safe location.
Do not relight appliances or turn valves if you suspect a leak.
Ventilate if safe by opening doors/windows on your way out.
Keep the area clear of vehicles, tools, and ignition sources.
After the utility makes it safe, call our 24/7 dispatcher—we’ll test, repair, and restore service to code.

Verify utility status, establish no-spark conditions, identify meter/regulator, appliances, venting, and combustion-air needs.
Isolate & Test
Close valves and perform pressure/decay tests (or utility-approved methods) to locate zones of loss; use electronic gas detector and approved leak solution.
Repair / Install
Replace damaged sections; size and run new branches in black steel/CSST (bonded) per code; protect penetrations; add drip legs and listed shut-offs at each appliance.
