Gas leak detection and repair from licensed plumbers.
Gas Leak Detection & Repair in Santa Clarita
A gas leak is one of the most dangerous problems a home can have. Natural gas can cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea, and a buildup can lead to a fire or explosion. If you smell gas, leave the house right away, and don’t flip switches, use appliances, or light anything on the way out. Once you’re outside, call 911 and SoCalGas. After the area is declared safe, Rowland Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical can find the source of the leak and repair the line so your gas service can be safely restored.
How We Find & Fix Gas Leaks
A gas leak can start at an appliance connection, a fitting, a valve, or a buried line in the yard. Our plumbers use electronic gas detectors and pressure testing to find the exact source, then repair or replace the damaged section and test the whole system before your service is turned back on.
We work on lines serving water heaters, furnaces, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, pool heaters, and outdoor barbecues. Natural gas detectors installed near gas appliances give you an early warning, and they’re a separate device from your carbon monoxide alarms.
Signs of a Gas Leak
Gas leaks don't always announce themselves loudly. Watch for these signs, and if you notice any of them, get outside before calling for help:
- A rotten egg smell. Utilities add a sulfur-like odor to natural gas so leaks are easy to notice. If you smell it indoors, treat it as a leak.
- A hissing or whistling sound. You might hear it near a gas line, a meter, or an appliance connection, even when nothing is running.
- Dead or dying plants over a gas line. Gas leaking underground can kill grass and plants along the path of a buried line.
Once everyone is safe and the utility has checked the area, call Rowland to schedule the repair.

Why Gas Leaks Show Up More in Winter & After Earthquakes
Gas leaks are more often noticed in the colder months because that’s when furnaces, water heaters, and fireplaces run the most. More use puts more strain on aging connections, and a small leak that went unnoticed all summer can suddenly become obvious. It’s also a good reason to have gas appliances checked before the weather turns, especially during a heater tune-up.
Southern California has its own risk as well. Earthquakes can shift gas lines and loosen fittings, sometimes without any visible damage. If you notice a gas smell after a quake, get outside and call 911 and SoCalGas before anything else. Rowland can inspect your lines afterward, test for leaks, and install an earthquake shutoff valve that cuts off gas automatically during strong shaking. Our phones are answered 24/7, so you can reach us whenever you need help with the next steps.
