How a Gas Pressure Test Works — Step-by-Step for Homes in Mountain View
Gas pressure testing is a crucial diagnostic step to confirm your gas system is safe, sealed, and fully compliant with local Mountain View building codes. Whether you’re remodeling your home, replacing gas appliances, or restoring service after a shutoff, pressure testing ensures your system is leak-free and ready for inspection.
In neighborhoods like Blossom Valley, Old Mountain View, and Cuesta Park, homes range from mid-century builds to new developments. Many contain older gas piping or recently retrofitted lines. Testing ensures these systems meet code before final permits are approved or utility service is restored.
When Is a Gas Pressure Test Needed in Mountain View?
• During renovations requiring plumbing permits
• Before PG&E reconnects gas service
• When installing or relocating gas appliances
• After detecting gas odors, hissing sounds, or low appliance output
• During home purchases or pre-sale inspections
Mountain View’s Infrastructure Considerations
The city’s ongoing construction and utility upgrades often affect underground gas lines. Areas near Moffett Boulevard and El Camino Real may experience soil shifting or joint stress due to high-density zoning and frequent excavations. This makes testing a vital step before proceeding with major plumbing work.
How Repipe Champions Performs a Gas Pressure Test:
1. System Isolation — All appliances are disconnected, and the gas is safely shut off.
2. Line Sealing — Fittings and outlets are sealed to pressurize the closed system.
3. Air Pressurization — Compressed air is introduced using code-approved gauges.
4. Observation Period — The system is monitored over 15–30 minutes. A pressure drop indicates a leak.
5. Leak Confirmation — If needed, a safe soap solution is used to locate leak sources at joints and connections.

Top Signs of a Gas Leak in Mountain View Homes — When to Schedule a Pressure Test
Gas leaks are a serious safety hazard, and in a city like Mountain View — with its mix of historic homes, apartment complexes, and modern construction — undetected gas line issues can pose major risks. Early detection through pressure testing can prevent fires, carbon monoxide exposure, and utility interruptions.
Below are signs that it’s time to schedule a professional gas pressure test in Mountain View:
1. Rotten Egg or Sulfur-Like Smell Indoors
PG&E adds mercaptan to gas to help detect leaks. If you smell rotten eggs:
• Evacuate the area immediately
• Avoid using electronics or open flames
• Call PG&E and Repipe Champions from a safe location
2. Hissing or Whistling Near Appliances or Pipes
A hissing noise around your stove, fireplace, or outdoor meter could signal a pressurized gas leak. Shut off your gas supply (if safe) and call for immediate testing.
3. Spikes in Your PG&E Gas Bill
Unexpected increases in your utility bill can indicate a slow or hidden leak, especially in older neighborhoods like Shoreline West. Testing can confirm if gas is escaping inside walls, crawlspaces, or underground.
4. Appliance Warning Signs
Watch for:
• Pilot lights that won’t stay on
• Orange or yellow flames instead of blue
• Soot or discoloration on appliances
These may indicate low pressure or line issues that require system-wide testing.
5. Physical Symptoms at Home
Low-level gas exposure can cause:
• Headaches, fatigue, dizziness, or nausea
• Feeling better outside than inside your home
• More severe symptoms in enclosed areas
If anyone in your household feels these symptoms without explanation, evacuate and call for emergency service.
6. New Construction or Appliance Upgrades
Installing a gas stove, fireplace, or tankless water heater? Mountain View’s building codes typically require a passed pressure test before final inspection approval.
7. Reconnecting After a Shutoff
If PG&E shuts off your gas service due to a suspected leak or during home renovations, a professional pressure test is required before service is restored.
