Found a Leak Near Rancho Alamitos High School
One job last fall near Rancho Alamitos High, off Chapman and Dale, the homeowner had been smelling gas for a few days. He thought it was just the pilot light. SoCal Gas shut it down and told him to get a plumber. We came that evening, sniffed out a pinhole leak behind the dryer. It was old soft copper that cracked at the flare fitting. Swapped it for a flex line, pressure tested the run, and the meter held perfect after. He said he felt like he could finally sleep without checking the stove five times a night.
How Natural Gas Leak Detection Works
First, we listen—you tell us what you smelled, heard, or saw. Then we shut down the gas at the meter to play it safe. We use a high-tech gas leak detector (sniffer) that picks up even small methane levels. Sometimes we spray joints with a foam that bubbles up if gas is leaking out.
If needed, we do a pressure test using a gauge on your line. We seal the system and pump it up to a test pressure to see if it holds. If it drops, there’s a leak somewhere, and we start tracking it. Once we find it, we give you options to repair right then or make it safe until repairs get scheduled.
In 2025, the average cost for leak detection in Orange County runs $159–$275. Emergency calls, attic access, or hidden leaks could cost more.

DIY Gas Leak Detection Mistakes
Some folks use a match to “see” if gas is leaking—don’t ever do that. It’s how kitchens explode.
Others try soapy water but miss leaks in fittings tucked behind appliances or underground.
We even had someone once shut off the meter thinking that solved it—but then lit a BBQ tied to the same gas line. That pressure drop pulled air back in.
