Gas Line Repair & Earthquake Valves in San Pedro
Romo Plumbing repairs and installs gas lines and earthquake shut-off valves for homes and businesses in San Pedro and the South Bay. From gas leak repair to new appliance connections and seismic valves for home sales, our licensed team does the work safely and up to code.
Safe Gas Line Work for South Bay Homes
Gas line work is not a do-it-yourself job. Our team locates and repairs leaks, runs new lines for stoves, dryers, water heaters and other gas appliances, and replaces old or corroded piping. Every connection is tested before we leave, and you get a written price before any work begins.
We also install and repair earthquake shut-off valves, which close automatically to stop gas from flowing into your home during a strong earthquake. In the City of Los Angeles, which includes San Pedro, a seismic or excess flow gas shut-off valve is on the list of requirements when a home is sold, and we take care of the installation and the city side for you.
We handle gas line repair and earthquake valve installation in San Pedro, Palos Verdes Estates, Torrance, Gardena and throughout the South Bay.

Gas Line FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house right away, without using light switches, phones or anything that could create a spark. Once you are outside and away from the home, call SoCalGas or 911. After the gas company makes it safe, call us to find and repair the leak.
Are earthquake shut-off valves required in Los Angeles?
In the City of Los Angeles, including San Pedro and Wilmington, the Department of Building and Safety lists a seismic or excess flow gas shut-off valve as a requirement when a home with gas piping is sold. Other South Bay cities set their own rules, so check with your city or escrow officer. We install the valve and take care of the inspection side for you.
How does an earthquake gas shut-off valve work?
A seismic valve is installed on your gas line, usually right after the meter. When it senses strong shaking, it closes automatically and stops gas from flowing into your home, which helps prevent fires from damaged lines. After it trips, the valve has to be reset by hand and your gas appliances relit, and our team can do that for you.
How much does gas line repair cost in San Pedro?
Every job starts with a $110 assessment, which goes toward your final price when you move forward with the work. The total depends on the job, whether it is a single leak repair, a new appliance line or an earthquake valve installation, and you get a written price before anything begins.
Do I need a permit for gas line work?
Yes, most gas line work requires a city permit and an inspection. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection, so the work is documented and up to code.
Can you run a gas line for a new stove, dryer or fireplace?
Yes. We run new gas lines for stoves, ranges, dryers, water heaters and fireplaces, sized for the appliance and tested before use. If you are switching an appliance from electric to gas, we will check whether your current gas line can handle the added load.
