What Wears Out Gas Piping in Colton
Gas systems age quietly.
- Aging black iron. Many Colton homes have steel pipe that corrodes at threads and low points.
- Older connectors. Flex lines from earlier decades crack at the bend.
- Ground movement. Shaking from the nearby fault stresses joints over the years.
- Damp soil. Buried lines rust where moisture sits.
Gas Odor Steps Before We Arrive
Treat any gas smell as urgent.
- Get everyone outside. Take pets too.

- Call SoCalGas from outside. Report the odor to the utility emergency line at 800.427.2200.

Repair Steps From Shutoff to Relight
- Make it safe. We close the gas to the affected section and ventilate.
- Locate the leak. Bubble solution and a gauge point us to the exact failure.
- Replace the part. Bad pipe, fittings or connectors come out and new ones go in.
- Pressure test. The whole line is tested and must hold.
