Signs of a gas leak in your home
A rotten egg or sulfur smell
Natural gas has no smell of its own, so an odorant that smells like rotten eggs is added to it. If you notice that smell near the range, water heater, furnace, dryer or gas meter, treat it as a leak. Here is what a gas leak smells like compared with other household odors.
Hissing near a fitting or the meter
A hiss or whistle at a valve, a flexible appliance connector or the meter usually means gas is escaping under pressure. Leave the fitting alone and get everyone outside.
Dead grass, bubbles or a higher gas bill
Buried lines to pool heaters, fire pits and detached garages can leak for weeks before anyone smells gas. A strip of dying plants over the line, bubbles in wet soil or a bill that climbs with no new appliance are all good reasons to book gas leak detection.
Burner flames that look wrong
Flames that jump up and down, burn yellow instead of blue or keep going out point to a supply or connection problem. Turn the appliance off and have a gas leak plumber check the line and the connector.
Smell gas right now?
Get everyone outside first. Do not flip light switches, unplug anything, light a match or start a car in the garage. Once you are outside, call 911 or SDG&E. When the leak is on your side of the meter, call us: we find and repair it, then pressure test the line before the gas goes back on.

Gas lines in Poway homes: what owners should know
A few local facts explain where gas leaks tend to start in Poway and who is responsible for fixing them.
Older homes, original gas piping
Poway's first subdivision homes were built in 1959, long before the city incorporated on December 1, 1980. A house from the 1960s or 1970s may still have its original steel gas piping, older flexible appliance connectors and shutoff valves nobody has turned in years. Slow leaks often start at those threaded joints and connectors, so we check the whole system, not only the appliance you called about. Read whether older houses are more prone to gas leaks.
SDG&E's side of the meter, and yours
SDG&E supplies natural gas across San Diego County, including Poway, and maintains its lines and the meter. Everything after the meter belongs to the property owner: piping to the water heater, furnace, range and dryer, plus any buried line out to a pool heater, barbecue or detached building. Federal pipeline rules (49 CFR 192.16) require gas utilities to tell customers this and to recommend that buried customer piping be inspected for leaks and corrosion. Repairs on your side are gas line repair work for a plumber.
Digging near a buried gas line
Contact 811 a few working days before you dig for a fence, patio or planter. The free 811 locate marks utility-owned lines, so a buried line you own, such as one running to a pool heater or outdoor kitchen, may not be marked. Federal rules advise locating buried piping first and digging by hand near it. If a shovel does find the line, get clear, call 911 or SDG&E, then call us to replace the damaged section.
Gas line repair in Poway: what the work involves
Gas line repair covers the piping after the SDG&E meter: the lines to the water heater, furnace, range and dryer, and any buried run to a pool heater, fire pit or detached garage. This is how a repair is decided and done.
Repair a section or replace the line
A repair fits when the leak is in one place: loose gas fittings, a corroded joint, a faulty gas valve, a worn appliance connector or one damaged length of pipe. Replacement makes more sense when a buried steel line is corroded along its length, when leaks keep turning up at new joints, or when a new range, tankless water heater or outdoor kitchen needs more gas than the old line can carry. The technician shows you where the leak is and which option fits before any work starts. Full runs are covered on our gas line replacement page.
The gas pipe in Poway homes
Indoor gas piping in older Poway homes is usually threaded black steel pipe. Newer homes and remodels often use CSST, the flexible gas tubing with a yellow jacket. Buried yard lines may be coated steel or polyethylene pipe made for burial, and each appliance connects to the system with a short flexible connector. Every material has its own fittings and repair method, so the technician matches the repair to the pipe already in the wall or the ground and sizes it for the appliances on the line.
Old brass appliance connectors
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that older uncoated brass connectors can break where the fittings were soldered to the tube, causing a gas leak. It recommends replacing any uncoated brass connector with a new stainless steel or plastic-coated one, and it warns against moving the appliance to look, because even slight movement can break a weakened connector. If your range, dryer or water heater may still have one, a gas line technician can check it and replace it. Read the CPSC warning on flexible gas connectors.
Testing before the gas goes back on
After the repair, the technician pressure tests the piping to confirm it holds gas pressure with no drop, checks each joint and connection, and makes sure each appliance has its own shutoff. When SDG&E has shut off service, the line has to test tight before the gas is turned back on and the pilots are relit. Poway's plumbing code adopts the California Plumbing Code, which covers the repair of gas piping as well as water and drain lines, and the technician tells you if your job needs a city permit and inspection.
Before any gas line work, ask for the contractor's California license number and look it up on the Contractors State License Board license check. Also ask what pipe they will use and how they will test it. Smell gas right now? Get outside first, then call (858) 363-8245. We answer 24/7.

Gas leak problems Poway homeowners call about
These are the gas problems Poway homeowners, landlords and business owners describe when they phone for help. If one sounds like your property, call and talk it through with a gas repair technician.
- “SDG&E left a notice that they found a leak on our side of the meter.”The utility handles the meter, but the piping after it is the owner's to fix. The technician locates the leak, repairs the failed fitting or pipe and runs the test needed before service is restored.
- “I run a small restaurant and the gas line needs work before our inspection.”Commercial kitchens carry a heavy gas load and need a shutoff at each appliance. The technician checks pressure with the cooking line running, repairs weak fittings and retests before the inspector arrives.
- “We're buying a house and the inspector flagged the gas piping.”Common write-ups are missing sediment traps, old appliance connectors, unsupported pipe or missing shutoffs. The technician goes through the report, checks each item on site and corrects what's needed before closing.
- “I want a gas line run out to the backyard for a built-in grill.”Outdoor runs need pipe suited to burial or wall mounting, sizing for the grill's demand and a shutoff near the appliance. The technician plans the route, then pressure tests before the hookup.
- “Our gas bill jumped and nothing in the house has changed.”An unexplained jump can point to a slow leak on the house side of the meter. The technician pressure tests the whole system, then isolates sections to find where it's losing gas.

Common gas leak repair questions
Answers to common questions about gas leak repair, gas line repair, and gas safety in Poway.
What should I do if I smell gas in my Poway home?
Leave the house right away and get everyone outside. Do not use light switches, appliances or phones inside. Once you are outside, call 911 or SDG&E, then call our emergency plumbers in Poway for gas leak repair, 24/7.
Who fixes a gas leak in Poway, SDG&E or a plumber?
It depends on where the leak is. SDG&E handles leaks at the meter and on its own lines. Leaks after the meter, including buried yard lines and appliance connections, are the owner's responsibility, and that is the gas leak repair work we do. If SDG&E has shut off the gas, we fix the leak and pressure test the piping so service can be restored.
How do I shut off the gas to my house in an emergency?
The main shutoff is the valve on the gas pipe at the meter. Turn it a quarter turn with a 12-inch or larger adjustable wrench until the valve sits crosswise to the pipe. Only do this if you smell, hear or see signs of escaping gas and you can reach the meter safely. Once it is off, leave it off; the utility turns the gas back on after the piping is checked. Our gas shutoff guide walks through it step by step.
Is a rotten egg smell in the house always a gas leak?
No, but treat it as one until you know otherwise: get outside, call 911 or SDG&E from outside, then call us. Sewer gas also smells like rotten eggs because it contains hydrogen sulfide. It can drift in when the water in a rarely used drain trap dries up, or through a cracked drain line. If the gas piping tests tight, we check the drains and the sewer line next. More in our rotten egg smell guide.
How much does gas leak repair cost in Poway, CA?
Gas leak repair pricing in Poway depends on leak severity and location. Emergency repairs may cost more because of the rapid response. You hear the price before any work starts.
Do you repair gas lines after the utility shuts off service?
Yes. We perform gas line repair in Poway and restore service after utility shut-offs, making sure all work meets the California Plumbing Code before the gas comes back on.
Can you install new gas lines for stoves, dryers and BBQs?
Yes. We install new gas lines for stoves, dryers, and BBQs in Poway using pipe fittings and Teflon tape, following ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 standards for safe appliance connections.
How do I know if my gas line needs repair or replacement?
One leak at a fitting, valve or appliance connector is usually a repair. Corrosion along a buried line, leaks at several joints, or a line too small for a new appliance usually points to gas line replacement. A pressure test and leak check show which one you have, and you hear the options before work starts.
Are old flexible gas connectors dangerous?
Older uncoated brass connectors can be. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends replacing any uncoated brass connector with a new stainless steel or plastic-coated connector, and warns not to move the appliance to inspect it. A gas line technician can check yours and replace it.
Can you repair a buried gas line to a pool heater or fire pit?
Yes. Buried lines to pool heaters, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and detached garages are the owner's piping after the meter. The technician locates the leak, repairs or replaces the damaged section with pipe suited to burial, and pressure tests the line before the gas goes back on.
