How Our Gas Leak Detection Process Works

Our trained technicians arrive at your Costa Mesa home with high-tech electronic detection equipment that can sense even tiny amounts of natural gas in the air. We start by checking all the obvious spots like your gas meter, appliance connections, and any exposed piping around your property.

The latest gas detection technology we use is way more sensitive than your nose – it can pick up concentrations that are too low for you to smell but could still indicate a developing problem. Our technicians methodically scan every inch of your gas system, including underground lines using specialized probes that can detect gas through soil.

We also use pressure testing on your gas lines to make sure the system holds pressure properly. If there’s even a small drop in pressure, it tells us there’s a leak somewhere that needs attention. New technology also lets us pinpoint exactly where underground leaks are located without having to dig up your entire yard.

After we complete the inspection, we’ll explain everything we found in plain English and show you exactly where any problems are located. If we find leaks, we can usually fix them the same day.

Common DIY Gas Detection Mistakes

Many Costa Mesa homeowners try using soapy water to check for gas leaks around their meter or appliances. While this can work for bigger leaks, it won’t catch smaller ones that are still dangerous. The soap solution needs to be applied in exactly the right spots, and most people miss critical connection points or don’t check long enough to see small bubbles forming.

Another mistake we see often is people thinking they can ignore a gas smell if it comes and goes. Gas concentrations change with weather conditions, wind direction, and even the time of day. Just because you don’t smell it every time doesn’t mean the leak isn’t there – it might just mean conditions aren’t right for you to detect it at that moment.
