A recent gas line repair call
A Fresno customer in their 1980s home had been chasing intermittent gas smell near the basement furnace for weeks before calling. Corroded fitting on a 35-year-old black iron line was the actual cause. We replaced the fitting and pressure-tested the line; everything stable since. About $285 all in.
The actual work
Gas line work is regulated. We pull the permit, do the work, and coordinate the utility inspection before the line goes back into service.
Most-common calls: gas-leak detection after the homeowner smells gas, shut-off valve replacement on a 30+ year old appliance line, and new appliance hookups (range, dryer, water heater, fireplace).
If you smell gas, leave the building, call your gas utility's emergency line first (it's free), and call us second. Don't switch lights on or off, don't use phones inside the building. The utility shuts the meter and confirms the leak is on the customer side. Then we come in, find it, and repair.
Material: black iron is still the standard for hard pipe. Yellow CSST is the flexible alternative — easier to install, but needs proper bonding to prevent lightning strike issues. We do both.
Fresno-area patterns we see
Fresno has a wide mix of housing — from pre-war brick to last-year new builds. We work on all of it; the diagnostic just takes a different shape.
