Locate natural gas and propane leaks quickly for safety and code compliance.
The Lugo Family, who lives in Belmont Shore, Long Beach, reached out after noticing a hissing sound near a gas line, meter, or appliance connection. Long Beach's older port-adjacent neighborhoods carry gas infrastructure from the city's early 20th-century industrial growth, and coastal humidity adds to the corrosion risk on older meter connections. Instead of guessing and re-testing for weeks, the location was confirmed on the first visit and handed straight to repair.
— The Lugo Family, Belmont Shore, Long Beach
Long Beach's older port-adjacent neighborhoods carry gas infrastructure from the city's early 20th-century industrial growth, and coastal humidity adds to the corrosion risk on older meter connections.
Gas service in Long Beach is provided by SoCalGas, and any leak confirmed on the utility side of the meter gets reported and coordinated directly with them as part of the repair process.
Gas leaks are a safety priority, not a wait-and-see issue. Our technicians use electronic gas detection equipment and line pressure testing to trace leaks along buried and exposed gas lines, at meter connections, and at appliance shutoff valves. If you smell gas or hear a hiss near a gas line or appliance, treat it as an emergency: leave the area, avoid switches or open flame, and call your gas utility's emergency line before anything else.
We combine handheld electronic sniffers with pressure-decay testing on the line to confirm both the presence of a leak and its approximate location, then coordinate next steps with your utility or a licensed repair contractor.

“Being this close to the water, I figured corrosion was the culprit and I was right. They found the exact fitting near the meter box that had failed. Fast and professional.”
“Our multi-family building had a mystery water bill spike. They tested each unit's supply line and found the issue in about two hours total across the building. Very organized process.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
