What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Gas System Pressure Testing & Code Compliance Upgrading?
Gas system pressure testing is the process of:
Isolating gas piping (often with appliances disconnected or valves closed).
Pressurizing the system with air or an approved test medium to a specific pressure.
Monitoring the system for a set time to see if pressure holds—confirming whether the piping is tight or leaking.
Code compliance upgrades involve correcting issues such as:
Leaking or outdated fittings, valves, or connectors.
Undersized, unsupported, corroded, or improperly routed piping.
Missing shutoff valves, drip legs, or other required components.
Old or unapproved flex connectors and DIY modifications.
Together, these services help ensure your gas system is safer, better documented, and more likely to pass inspection or reactivation requirements.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Licensed & inspection-savvy: We’re used to working with local inspectors, utilities, and permit requirements.
Modern code awareness: We upgrade systems with current code, manufacturer instructions, and safety practices in mind.
Whole-house capability: We can pressure test full systems or isolated sections depending on need and access.
Upgrade-focused: We don’t just test; we provide clear repair and upgrade options if your system doesn’t pass.
Remodel/real estate friendly: We know the pressures of closing dates, permit sign-offs, and project timelines and work to keep things moving.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Gather any notices or reports from your gas utility, inspector, city, or contractor.
Note whether your gas is currently on or shut off and why (inspection failure, suspected leak, remodel, etc.).
Make a list of your gas appliances (furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, pool heaters, BBQ, etc.).
If this is tied to a remodel or addition, keep your plans or drawings handy.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for gas system pressure testing and code compliance upgrades; share whether this is for a permit, sale, inspection, or utility requirement.
If you smell strong gas or suspect an active major leak, leave the area and contact your gas utility or emergency services first. After the situation is safe and gas is off, call us for testing and repairs/upgrades.
Common Situations Where Pressure Tests & Upgrades Are Needed
You may need gas system pressure testing and code upgrades when:
The gas utility has shut off gas and requires a pressure test and plumber sign-off before restoring service.
An inspector flagged your gas system during a remodel, addition, or home sale.
You’re adding or moving several gas appliances and want to be sure the existing system is tight and code-compliant.
Your home has older gas piping, and you want a safety and code checkup.
You’re converting from propane to natural gas or vice versa, and need system verification and updates.
You’re applying for or closing out a permit and testing is required as part of the process.
System Review & Requirement Clarification
We review any utility or inspection notices, discuss your project or situation, and inspect your gas meter, main lines, and visible piping to understand scope and requirements.
Test Plan & Isolation Setup
We determine which sections of the gas system to test (whole house or specific zones), then install temporary caps, plugs, and isolation points as needed to safely perform a pressure test.
Pressure Test Execution & Evaluation
We pressurize the isolated gas piping to an appropriate test pressure, monitor it for the required duration, and note whether it holds pressure or shows signs of leaking.
Leak/Issue Identification & Code Review
If the system doesn’t hold pressure—or if we see obvious code issues—we locate leaks or deficiencies (e.g., fittings, connectors, piping, valves) and evaluate how they align with current code and best practice.
Repairs, Re-Piping & Code Compliance Upgrades
With your approval, we perform the needed repairs, re-piping, valve replacements, connector upgrades, supports, and layout adjustments to bring the system back to tight and closer to code.
Re-Test, Documentation & Inspector/Utility Coordination
After repairs, we re-test the gas system, confirm it passes, restore normal operation, provide documentation of testing and upgrades, and, when needed, coordinate or support inspections with your utility or local authority.
What’s Included
A typical gas system pressure testing & code compliance upgrade package may include:
Review of your gas system and any inspection/utility requirements
Gas system isolation and pressure testing of all or part of your piping
Identification of leaks, deficiencies, and code concerns
Repairs and upgrades to piping, valves, fittings, and connectors (as approved)
A re-test to verify system tightness after work is completed
Basic documentation summarizing testing and upgrades for your records, inspector, or utility
(Exact scope depends on system size, existing condition, and the reason for testing.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Costs and timing for gas system pressure testing and upgrades depend on:
Whether we are testing the full system or a subset (e.g., remodel zone).
How many leaks or code issues are found and how extensive the needed repairs are.
The age and condition of your gas piping and components.
How much re-piping or reconfiguration is required to bring things up to standard.
Whether this work is standalone or part of a larger remodel/addition schedule.
We’ll provide a clear, itemized estimate outlining:
Diagnostic/testing charges
Repair and upgrade costs based on what we know—and potential ranges if hidden issues might surface
Expected timeline and coordination needs (e.g., with inspectors or utilities)
Insurance & Claims Help
Gas system testing and upgrades often intersect with permits, utilities, and real estate:
Utilities may require proof of testing and repairs before restoring gas.
Inspectors may request pressure test results and scope of work for permit close-out.
Buyers may want assurance that the gas system has been tested and updated, especially in older homes.
Certain incidents may involve insurance, depending on your policy and cause.
We can help by providing:
Itemized invoices and test summaries
Clear notes on what sections were tested and upgraded
Documentation that your contractor, inspector, or utility can reference
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Gas system pressure testing and code upgrades can reveal larger issues:
Older systems with widespread corrosion or DIY modifications may need significant re-piping, not just small fixes.
A system that fails pressure testing badly may have multiple leaks or substantial hidden problems.
Some gas layouts may be undersized or poorly designed, requiring reconfiguration or upsizing along with repairs.
Code compliance doesn’t always mean “brand new”—but it often means upgrading obvious deficiencies like missing shutoffs, outdated connectors, or unsupported runs.
If we find that your system needs more than minor repairs to be safe and code-aligned, we’ll explain:
Where the biggest risks are
What is required vs. optional
Phased options if you wish to handle upgrades in stages
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Approved pressure testing methods and equipment, following code and best practice
Use of listed gas piping, fittings, valves, and flex connectors suitable for your application
Proper supports, clearances, and protections for all new or modified piping
Thorough re-testing and leak verification after repairs/upgrades
Work performed by licensed Nevada plumbers/technicians who understand local code and inspection expectations
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a pressure test if I don’t smell gas?
Pressure testing checks for even very small leaks that may not yet be noticeable by odor, and is often required by code or utility after certain repairs, remodels, or shutoffs.
Can you just do the test and not upgrades?
We can perform testing only, but if the system fails, you’ll need repairs or upgrades before it can be considered safe or pass inspection. We’ll always explain your options and get approval before any repair work.
Will this work automatically satisfy my inspector or utility?
We follow code and best practice, and our documentation is typically what they’re looking for—but each inspector, jurisdiction, and utility has final say. We’re happy to coordinate as needed.
Does pressure testing mean my gas has to be off?
Yes, at least for the section being tested. We’ll explain how long and what appliances will be affected and plan testing to minimize disruption.
Can this be combined with other work, like upsizing or rerouting?
Absolutely. Pressure testing and code upgrades pair well with gas line upsizing, rerouting, and new appliance installs, especially during remodels or additions.
