How Our Gas Pressure Testing Works — Campbell’s Step-by-Step Safety Process
If you’re a homeowner in Campbell planning a remodel, installing a new gas appliance, or restoring service after a PG&E shutoff, a gas pressure test is typically required by city code. At Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter, we deliver expert gas testing services tailored for Campbell properties — from older homes near John D. Morgan Park to newer townhouses in the Pruneyard District.
What Is a Gas Pressure Test?
A gas pressure test is used to confirm that your gas lines are airtight and safe. It involves shutting off your gas supply, sealing the line, applying compressed air, and monitoring the system with a calibrated gauge. If the pressure stays constant, your gas line is good to go. If it drops, there’s a leak that needs to be found and repaired.
When You Need a Gas Pressure Test in Campbell:
• After PG&E gas service has been shut off
• During permit inspections for home remodels or ADU builds
• When installing or relocating gas appliances
• If you smell gas or suspect a leak
• Before buying or selling older homes in the area
The Campbell Testing Process Includes:
1. Gas Line Isolation: All appliances are turned off and disconnected.
2. Sealing and Pressurizing: The system is sealed and pressurized with air.
3. Monitoring for Drops: A drop in pressure indicates a leak.
4. Leak Detection: We apply a soap solution to exposed fittings — bubbles identify the exact location.
5. Repair and Retest (if needed): If leaks are found, we’ll recommend and execute safe repairs followed by a retest.
Why Choose Repipe Champions in Campbell:
• Decades of experience with Campbell building codes and permit offices
• Fast turnarounds for inspections and same-day availability

Campbell homes — especially those in older neighborhoods off Hamilton Avenue — may have aging gas infrastructure. Even minor leaks or pressure issues can pose serious risks. That’s why we back every test with expert analysis and prompt follow-up solutions.

Signs Campbell Homeowners Should Request a Gas Pressure Test
Gas leaks can be dangerous and costly. Whether you live near the Los Gatos Creek Trail or in the Central Campbell neighborhood, being aware of early warning signs and acting fast can protect your home and family.
Here are the top reasons Campbell residents schedule a gas pressure test:
1. Unexplained Gas Odor Indoors
A sulfur or rotten egg smell usually signals a leak. If you smell gas:
• Evacuate the property immediately
• Don’t use electronics, light switches, or appliances
• Call PG&E and then Repipe Champions once you’re in a safe location
2. Hissing Sounds Around Gas Fixtures
You may hear a faint hissing near your stove, fireplace, or water heater. This often means pressurized gas is escaping from a faulty fitting or cracked pipe. Shut off the gas supply if possible and call us for same-day testing.
3. Unexpected Gas Bill Spikes
Are your utility bills increasing, even though your usage hasn’t changed? A leak may be slowly draining gas — leading to waste and potential danger. A pressure test can reveal what’s happening behind the walls.
4. Malfunctioning Gas Appliances
Appliances may show signs such as:
• Inconsistent pilot lights
• Low flame or yellow/orange coloring (instead of blue)
• Soot buildup or discoloration around burners
These issues can point to low pressure or leaks in the line.
5. Physical Symptoms of Gas Exposure
Symptoms can be subtle or severe depending on the leak:
• Fatigue, dizziness, headaches
• Nausea or confusion
• Feeling better outside than inside the home
If you or family members experience these, leave the house and call immediately.
6. Remodeling or Installing New Gas Equipment
Adding a new kitchen appliance or HVAC unit? You’ll likely need a gas pressure test to close your Campbell permit. Our reports meet city inspection standards and help streamline your project timeline.
7. Restoring Gas After Shutoff
PG&E requires a gas pressure test when restoring service after shutoff — whether due to repairs, remodeling, or nonpayment. We help you get back online fast.
