Reliable gas pressure testing in Milpitas — trusted by homeowners, builders, and city inspectors.

Gas pressure testing is an essential part of confirming the safety and code compliance of your gas system. Whether you’re remodeling a home near Milpitas High School or installing a new water heater in the Hillcrest neighborhood, passing a gas pressure test is often required by the City of Milpitas before permits can be finalized or gas service restored by PG&E.

A pressure test involves sealing off the gas system and introducing compressed air at a specified pressure level. By monitoring the system over time, we can determine if there’s a drop in pressure — which would indicate a leak — or if the system holds steady, confirming it’s leak-free.

When Do Milpitas Residents Need a Gas Pressure Test?
• New gas line installation or appliance upgrades
• Reconnection of gas service after utility shutoff
• Home remodels requiring building permits
• Suspected gas leaks or appliance pressure issues
• Pre-purchase home inspections for older properties

Neighborhood Considerations in Milpitas
Milpitas includes a range of property types — from older homes near Dixon Landing Road to newer developments off Montague Expressway. Older gas piping or underground connections can weaken over time due to shifting soils and heavy use. Many homes in Milpitas also undergo frequent remodels or ADU conversions, which typically trigger a testing requirement.

The Repipe Champions Gas Pressure Test Process:
1. System Isolation — Gas is safely turned off, and all appliances are disconnected.
2. System Sealing — All outlets and fixtures are sealed to create a closed-loop system.
3. Air Pressurization — Calibrated gauges are used to apply compressed air in accordance with California building code.
4. Monitoring — Pressure is monitored for 15–30 minutes. No drop means the system is safe; a drop indicates a leak.
5. Leak Detection (if needed) — A soap solution is applied to joints and fittings. Bubbles will form where leaks exist.
