Gas Line Testing in Baytown
A gas test tells you whether your piping holds pressure. It is how a leak is confirmed, and how a repair is proven.
We test gas systems for homes and businesses. If the test fails, we can find the leak and repair it.
When You Need a Gas Test

Gas service has been off for a long time
You are buying or selling a home

How a Gas Pressure Test Works
Shut Off and Cap
The gas is turned off and the appliances are isolated from the piping.
Pressurize the Piping
We fill the piping with air to a set test pressure and attach a gauge.
Watch the Gauge
The pressure has to hold for the test period. A falling needle means a leak.
Report the Result
You get a clear pass or fail. If it fails, we explain where the leak is likely to be.
If the Test Fails
A failed test means gas is escaping somewhere in the piping. We isolate sections of the line to narrow it down.
Once the leak is found, the repair is priced and approved before we start. Then the system is tested again.
