Gas Line Repair in Burbank, CA
Gas Leak Repair and New Gas Lines for Burbank Homes
Most of Burbank’s houses were built between the 1920s and the early 1950s, and in many of them the gas piping is as original as the cast-iron drains: threaded steel run under the floor to a range and a water heater. Rooter & Plumbing Masters offers gas line repair in Burbank, CA at any hour, along with replacement of worn-out runs and new lines for the appliances those houses were never piped for.
One thing before anything else. If there is a gas odor in the house, do not go looking for it. Leave with everyone inside, keep your hands off the light switches and anything that sparks or burns, and from outdoors call SoCalGas at 1-800-427-2200 or 911. The SoCalGas crew shuts the gas off and makes the property safe. Our part starts after that: locating the leak in the house piping, repairing it, and pressure testing the line so that service can come back.

Plumbing Tips
Three Burbank Houses, Three Gas Line Jobs
What a gas line needs depends on the house it is in. These are the patterns in Burbank; the full list of what we do is on our gas line services page.
The Magnolia Park bungalow — steel gas pipe that has had seventy years or more to corrode at its threads. When the utility finds a leak at one fitting, we test the entire run and replace whatever does not hold pressure, so that the same line is not shut off twice.
The ranch home in the Rancho district — the common job is an added line: a gas range in a remodeled kitchen, a dryer relocated to the garage, or a line out to a grill or fire pit in the yard. Each new branch is sized so the appliances already on the line still get the gas they need.
The hillside house below the Verdugos — the pipe between the meter and the house is long, and a tankless water heater at the end of it draws far more gas at once than the tank it replaces. We check whether the existing line can carry that load and upsize it when it cannot.
Is Burbank Water and Power my gas company?
No. Burbank Water and Power is the city’s electric and water utility. Natural gas in Burbank comes from SoCalGas, so a leak report goes to 1-800-427-2200 or 911, and a question about the meter goes to SoCalGas as well. Everything past the meter is house piping, which a licensed plumbing contractor repairs; our license is CSLB #1004038.
Does gas line work in Burbank need a city permit?
Most of it does. The City of Burbank’s Building & Safety Division issues the permit for new gas lines, extensions and replaced piping, and its inspector signs off before the line is used. A minor repair in kind may be exempt, and we will say so at the estimate. If you want us to handle the permit we add an administrative fee to the city’s own charge; owners are also free to pull it themselves.
