Gas Line Repair & Installation
Safe, licensed gas piping, leak detection, and appliance hookups.
Professional Gas Line Services
Natural gas is one of the most efficient and dependable energy sources for homes and businesses. It powers water heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, dryers, generators, and outdoor living spaces while providing reliable performance and lower energy costs. Because natural gas systems operate under pressure, every gas line must be installed, repaired, and maintained with precision. A damaged or improperly installed gas line can create serious safety hazards, making professional service essential.
Small Jobs Plumbing provides expert gas line repair and installation services throughout Sonoma and Marin Counties. Whether you’re adding a new appliance, replacing aging gas piping, remodeling your home, or responding to a suspected gas leak, our licensed plumbers have the experience and equipment to complete the job safely and efficiently.

Professional Gas Line Repair
Gas line problems should never be ignored. Even a small leak can become a significant safety concern if left unrepaired. Our experienced plumbers use professional leak detection equipment to quickly locate damaged sections of piping and determine the safest, most cost-effective repair solution.
We repair all types of residential and commercial gas piping systems, including underground gas lines, exposed piping, appliance supply lines, flexible connectors, black iron pipe, and corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). Whether the damage is caused by corrosion, shifting soil, accidental construction damage, or normal aging, we restore your gas system with quality workmanship that prioritizes your safety.
Every repair is pressure tested and carefully inspected before the system is returned to service.
Expert Gas Line Installation
Installing a new gas line requires more than simply connecting pipe together. Proper sizing, routing, pressure calculations, and code compliance all play an important role in creating a safe and efficient gas system.
Small Jobs Plumbing installs new gas lines for remodeling projects, home additions, new construction, appliance upgrades, outdoor entertainment areas, and commercial properties. Before installation begins, we evaluate your property’s existing gas system to determine the appropriate pipe size and ensure sufficient gas flow for every connected appliance.
Our installation services include complete planning, pipe installation, pressure testing, leak detection, safety inspections, and final system verification.
Whether you’re replacing electric appliances with natural gas or expanding your home’s outdoor living space, we provide professional installation designed for years of reliable performance.
Gas Leak Detection
Natural gas leaks are not always immediately obvious. Although utility companies add a sulfur-like odor to help homeowners detect leaks, smaller leaks can develop gradually and may not be noticeable right away.
Our plumbers use specialized electronic leak detection equipment to accurately identify leaks without unnecessary damage to your property. Once the source has been located, we recommend the most appropriate repair based on the condition of your gas piping system.
If you ever smell natural gas, hear a hissing sound near a gas pipe, or suspect a leak for any reason, leave the building immediately, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, contact your gas utility, and then call Small Jobs Plumbing after the area has been declared safe.
