What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Pre-Sale Gas Line Inspection?
A pre-sale gas line inspection is a non-destructive, non-emergency review of the property’s gas system, focused on what matters in a real estate transaction, typically including:
Visible gas piping and fittings in accessible areas
Main and appliance shutoff valves for functionality and condition
Appliance connectors and flex lines for ranges, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, and fireplaces
Obvious signs of leaks, corrosion, damage, or DIY/unsafe modifications
Basic safety observations around combustion appliances (clearances, venting red flags, etc.)
It’s not a full gas system pressure test, but it gives buyers and sellers a clearer understanding of current gas conditions and likely repair needs.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Real-estate aware: We understand inspection deadlines, contingencies, and closing pressures.
Neutral and professional: We provide straightforward findings that buyers, sellers, and agents can all understand.
Repair-capable: If issues are found, we can estimate and perform repairs quickly to help keep deals on track.
Code- and safety-informed: We look for obvious safety risks and common code-related issues in residential gas systems.
Helpful documentation: Our findings can be shared with other parties, folded into request for repairs, or kept for disclosure and records.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Clarify your role: seller, buyer, or agent.
Note any known or suspected gas issues (old piping, minor smells, DIY work, prior utility visits, etc.).
Gather any relevant inspection reports (general home inspection, prior gas notes, or repair invoices).
Confirm whether the property is occupied or vacant, and how to arrange access.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask for a pre-sale gas line inspection for a real estate transaction; share your timeline and closing date so we can help you plan.
If there’s a strong gas smell, hissing, or obvious active leak, that’s not a routine pre-sale inspection - Leave the area, avoid flames/sparks, and contact your gas utility or emergency services first. Once safe and gas is shut off, call us for detection, repair, and follow-up inspection.
Common Situations Where Pre-Sale Gas Inspections Make Sense
A home inspection has already flagged possible gas issues, and you want a licensed plumbing/gas pro to take a closer look.
The property is older or has had multiple remodels or additions over the years.
There are visible old gas lines, unusual piping routes, or DIY-looking work.
A buyer or seller wants added assurance about gas safety, beyond a general home inspection.
An investor or landlord is purchasing or selling a rental property and wants clear documentation.
You want to avoid last-minute surprises during disclosures, re-inspections, or final walkthroughs.
Transaction & Property Intake
We confirm whether you’re the buyer, seller, or agent, review any existing inspection/utility notes, and note your timeline, contingencies, and key concerns.
Meter, Main Line & Layout Review
We locate the gas meter, main shutoff, and primary gas trunks, then review the layout of gas piping to major appliances (furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, fireplaces, pool heaters, outdoor features).
Valve, Connector & Exposed Piping Inspection
We examine accessible shutoff valves, flex connectors, exposed joints, and visible piping for signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, outdated components, or improper installations, using basic detection tools where appropriate.
Appliance Area Safety & Setup Check
We look around gas appliances for obvious safety or setup concerns—missing shutoffs, clearly incorrect connectors, visibly unsafe routing, or obvious code-related issues that could matter in a transaction.
Findings Review & Repair Recommendations
We summarize our observations, distinguish urgent safety items from recommended improvements, and outline repair or upgrade options with rough expectations on cost and complexity.
Documentation & Optional Repair/Follow-Up Plan
We provide a clear summary that can be shared among buyers, sellers, and agents, and, if desired, we prepare formal estimates and schedule repairs to address issues before closing or re-inspection.
What’s Included
A typical pre-sale gas line inspection for a real estate transaction may include:
A non-emergency walkthrough of the property’s visible gas system
Inspection of accessible gas lines, shutoffs, and appliance connectors
Basic detection and leak checking in key areas (non-invasive)
Identification of safety hazards, obvious code concerns, and aging components
A summary of findings and prioritized recommendations for repairs or further testing
Optional repair estimates and scheduling to address identified issues before closing
(Exact scope depends on property size, access, number of gas appliances, and your timeline.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Cost and timing for pre-sale gas line inspections depend on:
The size and complexity of the property (single-family vs. small multi-unit).
The number of gas appliances and how spread out they are (indoor + outdoor).
Whether additional services (like same-visit minor repairs) are requested.
How tight your escrow or contingency timeline is.
We’ll provide:
A clear quote for the inspection itself.
Transparent estimates for any recommended repairs or deeper testing.
Scheduling options that respect your contractual deadlines as best as possible.
Insurance & Claims Help
Pre-sale gas line inspections often play into:
Seller disclosures and documentation of known conditions.
Buyer due diligence, especially if gas concerns were raised in other reports.
Appraisal or lender confidence in older or heavily remodeled homes.
Landlord/investor records for rentals and income properties.
We can provide:
Itemized invoices and written summaries of findings.
Notes that can be attached to inspection responses, repair addendums, or kept for future reference.
(Any legal or disclosure obligations are determined by your real estate professionals and attorneys; we provide technical findings and repair documentation, not legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
A pre-sale gas line inspection is a valuable screening tool, but it has limits:
It is not a full gas system pressure test—that’s a more involved service sometimes recommended after we inspect.
Some leaks or issues may be concealed behind finishes and only revealed by pressure testing or access work.
If we find serious safety risks, we may recommend immediate repairs or gas shutoff in those areas.
Older or heavily modified systems may need broader upgrades (re-piping, upsizing, re-routing) beyond what a simple inspection can address in one visit.
If more work is needed, we’ll clearly explain:
Which findings are safety-critical
Which are code or best-practice issues
Options and next steps for repairs or further evaluation
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Use of professional gas detection tools and soap testing where appropriate and safe
Focus on non-destructive, accessible inspection methods suited to real estate transactions
Evaluation guided by current code expectations and manufacturer best practices
Clear communication aimed at both technical and non-technical clients (owners, agents, buyers)
All follow-up repairs and upgrades performed by licensed Nevada plumbers/technicians
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a regular gas safety inspection?
A pre-sale inspection is tailored to real estate needs—timelines, documentation, and clarity for buyers, sellers, and agents—while still focusing on safety and obvious code concerns.
Will this guarantee that the home will pass all inspections?
No one can guarantee that, because each inspector and jurisdiction may have different thresholds. But a pre-sale gas inspection reduces the risk of major gas surprises and often makes the process smoother.
Do you coordinate with agents and tenants?
Yes. We regularly coordinate access through listing agents, buyer’s agents, landlords, and property managers, and can work around occupied or vacant status.
Can you do repairs before closing if problems are found?
In many cases, yes. We can provide estimates quickly and schedule repairs based on your timeline and agreement between buyer and seller.
Does this include a full pressure test of the gas system?
Not by default. If we see reason to recommend pressure testing and code upgrades, we’ll explain why and provide a separate estimate for that service.
