Gas work is no place for guesswork. Licensed plumbers, done to code, tested before it's turned on.
Leaking, corroded, or damaged piping repaired after the utility has made it safe, then tested for leaks.
Gas ranges, cooktops, dryers, and water heaters connected with a proper shutoff and flex connector.
New or extended gas lines for fireplace inserts, gas logs, and wall heaters.
Gas stub-outs for barbecues, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and patio heaters.

When the utility finds a leak, they'll shut off the gas or tag the appliance and tell you to call a licensed contractor. That's us.
For anything that isn't an active leak, these are the most common reasons customers call us.
The utility shut off your gas or tagged an appliance
Switching from an electric range or dryer to gas
A new appliance doesn't get enough gas to run right
Building an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, or BBQ area
Old, corroded, or patched-together gas piping
Remodeling, or a home inspection flagged the gas line
Hitting a gas line with a shovel is the fastest way to ruin a weekend project. Here's who marks what.
Call 811 at least two working days before digging, after you pre-mark the area in white. The utilities mark their lines up to the meter.
Gas lines to a shop, pool heater, or barbecue aren't marked by 811. Our line location service finds them before you dig.
Real gas line jobs by Earl's Plumbing technicians.
Gas run outside and capped, ready for a barbecue, fire pit, or patio heater.
Damaged piping replaced in a tight attic space, then tested before the gas went back on.
New gas piping run for a kitchen remodel and appliance relocation.
There's no "good enough" with gas. It's done right, or it isn't done.
Every repair and new line is tested for leaks before we leave.
We check that the line can actually feed what you're adding, so your new range or tankless heater runs right.
Licensed plumbers, proper shutoffs and connectors, and permits when the job requires one.
Free quote before any work starts. You decide, no pressure.
Calls answered 24/7. Gas shut off? We'll get you back up as fast as we can.
If it's not right, we come back and make it right. 28 years and three local offices behind that.
I'll be straight with you: most plumbing mistakes cost you money. Gas mistakes can cost a lot more than that. So my crews do the boring stuff every single time — check the line size, use the right fittings, put a shutoff at the appliance, and test for leaks before anything gets turned on.
And please, if you ever smell gas, don't call us first. Get out, call 911, call PG&E. We'll be right here when it's safe. (Your new range will wait. Promise.)

If you smell natural gas, leave the building right away and call 911 from a safe distance, then call PG&E at 1-877-660-6789. Do not flip light switches, use phones, or start a car near the smell, and do not try to find the leak yourself. Once the utility has made the area safe, call Earl's Plumbing to repair the gas line.
Earl's Plumbing gives a free, upfront quote before any gas line work begins.

There is no service call fee, and online customers get $25 off. Call or text (530) 343-0330.
Earl's Plumbing repairs gas lines after the utility has shut off gas or tagged an appliance for a leak. Once the area is safe, we find the problem, give you a free quote, repair the piping, and test our work for leaks. After the repair is done, the utility can come back out to restore your gas service. Call or text (530) 343-0330.
Earl's Plumbing installs and extends gas lines for stoves, ranges, dryers, outdoor barbecues, fire pits, fireplaces, gas logs, and water heaters. We check that the existing line can handle the new appliance, run the new piping to code, add a shutoff valve at the appliance, and test the line for leaks before we turn it on.
You should always call 811 before digging, trenching, setting fence posts, or landscaping, so underground utility lines can be marked. In Northern California, USA North 811 asks for at least two working days notice after you pre-mark the dig area. Private lines on your property, such as a gas line to a barbecue or shop, are not marked by 811.
Earl's Plumbing offers line location for private gas, sewer, and water lines on your property, which 811 does not mark. This helps before repairs, remodels, or digging near a line we installed or one that runs to a detached garage, shop, or outdoor kitchen. Line location does not replace calling 811 for public utility lines.
Earl's Plumbing charges no service call fee, ever. I've never liked that practice — you shouldn't have to pay just to find out what something costs. A licensed plumber looks at your gas line or project, explains the options, and gives you a free quote. If you say no, you owe nothing. We've been family-owned since 1998.
Earl's Plumbing offers same-day service when a technician is available, and calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
