A common question we hear from Pearl District homeowners: 'how dangerous is a gas leak.' CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) is safe when properly installed and bonded to the electrical grounding system. Unbonded CSST can arc during lightning events, creating a fire or explosion risk. We inspect and bond CSST installations to current Oregon code.
We use calibrated gas detection equipment to find the exact leak source — appliance connection, valve, flexible connector, or supply line.
The affected section is isolated and the gas shut off to stop the leak before any repair work begins.
Fitting, valve, or line section replaced to current Oregon code. CSST bonding verified or installed.
The repaired line is pressure-tested for zero leakage and the Oregon permit inspection is scheduled and passed before gas is restored.
