One call handles it all. We find and repair leaks, install new lines and connect appliances. Every residential San Jose gas line job goes through our plumbers.
We find the leak, repair the damaged pipe and replace corroded fittings.
Installing a new range, dryer, fireplace or outdoor grill? We run the new line. Old black iron or galvanized pipe gets replaced before it fails.
Ranges, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, BBQ lines. We hook them up safely. Every appliance hookup is permit-managed and meets code.California's 2030 gas ban targets new gas furnaces and water heaters only, and not cooking appliances. It means that the range, fireplace, and BBQ hookups stay available for use in San Jose homes.

Do not enter the house until a licensed plumber fixes the gas leak and your home is safe
Gas leaks do not get safer on their own. IRBIS responds the same day to gas line calls across San Jose.
Our gas pipe services follow four steps. We move from inspection to the final safety test. And the pricing? Flat-rate. San Jose homeowners see the cost up front.
Step 1
First, a licensed plumber goes over your lines. Electronic tools pinpoint leaks, corrosion, or weak pressure.
Step 2
You get a written estimate. It is flat-rate, with no parts markup. The number you approve is the number you pay.
Step 3
We do the repair or installation. We pull the permits for you. Materials meet current San Jose safety codes.
Step 4
We pressure-test the system and check every connection. Then we walk you through the work before we go.
A faint sulfur smell. A creeping PG&E bill. These are the signs San Jose homeowners miss until it is too late.
What causes it: Raw gas is odorless. The sulfur scent is added so leaks get noticed. Smell it, and something is leaking.
What we do: We find where it is coming from and seal it tight. Then we pressure-test the line before sign-off.
What causes it: A hiss usually means gas is escaping under pressure. Cracked pipe or a loose connection.
What we do: We kill the supply first. Then we replace the bad fitting and retest the seal.
What causes it: Damp crawl spaces eat away at older galvanized steel. Thin metal eventually springs a leak.
What we do: We check every exposed run. Corroded sections come out. Fresh code-compliant pipe goes back in.
What causes it: Often, it is uneven gas pressure. Sometimes a partial blockage in the line.
What we do: We check supply pressure, clear restrictions, and confirm steady flow to each appliance.
What causes it: A slow leak burns gas around the clock. The waste shows up on your PG&E bill.
What we do: We pressure-test the system and seal whatever is hiding.
What causes it: Gas from a buried line pushes oxygen away from the roots. Grass and plants brown out above it.
What we do: We dig down to the buried line and put in corrosion-resistant pipe.
