Gas Line Replacement

Last month we had an emergency call from a client in Santa Barbara whose gas was shut off by the gas company due to a gas leak underground.

We showed up promptly and recommended to replace the line from the meter to the house with polyethylene piping since the existing metal gas line was over 60 years old and leaking in patches underground. We retrieved the necessary permits needed from the city of Santa Barbara and got to work.

Santa Barbara homeowners need to keep in mind that carbon monoxide and smoke detector combinations are required to be placed in bedrooms.
