Your Local Gas Plumber in the High Desert
John’s Plumbing and Rooter has handled High Desert gas line work since 2000. We are a family-owned, licensed plumbing contractor with a master plumber on the team, and we provide gas line repair, gas line installation, gas leak repair, and gas line replacement for homes, businesses, and municipal clients across Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Barstow, Big Bear, and the wider San Bernardino County. When people search for a gas plumber out here, this is the kind of work we do safely and to code. Gas is one of the most safety-critical jobs in the trade, and we treat it that way.
Gas work is not a DIY project and it is not a job for a general handyman. It calls for a licensed gas line contractor who knows the code, pulls the permits, and pressure-tests the line before it goes back into service. Done wrong, a gas line is dangerous; done right, it is something you never have to think about.
We work on natural gas line and propane line systems, run new lines for appliances like ranges, dryers, water heaters, and fire pits, and repair or replace old, corroded, or damaged lines. We also handle gas line inspection and gas line pressure test work when you are buying a home, adding an appliance, or just want peace of mind. Whatever runs on gas in your home, we can install it, repair it, or test it.
If you ever smell gas in the house or suspect a leak, that is an emergency. Get everyone out, leave the door open, do not flip switches, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance. Once it is safe, we handle the repair, and a gas emergency is exactly the kind of call our emergency plumbing service is built for.

Our Gas Line Services
A gas smell, a hissing line, or a high gas bill can all point to a leak. Our gas leak repair starts with gas leak detection to find the exact spot, then a proper, code-compliant fix and a pressure test to confirm the line is tight. We do not guess at a gas leak; we locate it and verify the fix.
Adding a gas range, dryer, fire pit, or pool heater? Our gas line installation runs a new, properly sized line to the appliance, on natural gas or propane, permitted and pressure-tested. We also handle full gas line replacement when an old line is past its prime. Every new line is sized for the appliance so it runs the way it should.
In earthquake country, an earthquake shutoff valve automatically cuts the gas when it senses strong shaking, which helps protect your home from gas-fed fires. We install and service these seismic shutoff valves throughout the High Desert. It is a small device that can make a real difference after a quake.
Signs You Have a Gas Line Problem
You Smell Gas
That rotten-egg odor added to natural gas is your first warning of a gas smell in the house. If you smell it, get out and call your utility or 911 first, then call us for gas leak repair once it is safe.
Hissing Near a Gas Line
A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line, meter, or appliance can mean gas is escaping. Do not investigate with a flame, leave and call for help, then have the line checked. A hiss you can hear usually means more gas escaping than you want near the house.
A Higher Gas Bill
A gas bill that jumps with no change in use can mean gas is leaking somewhere in the system. It is worth a gas line inspection to find out where it is going.
Dead Plants Over a Buried Line
A patch of dead or dying vegetation over the path of a buried gas line can signal a leak underground. Escaping gas starves the soil and kills plants from the roots up. If a green yard has one bare patch over the line, it is worth checking.
Pilot Lights That Will Not Stay Lit
Pilot lights that keep going out, or appliances that struggle to stay lit, can point to a gas supply or pressure problem worth having a gas plumber check. Ignoring it can leave appliances unsafe to run.
Adding or Moving an Appliance
Putting in a gas range, dryer, or fire pit, or moving one, usually means a new or rerouted line. That is a job for professional gas line installation, sized and permitted correctly.
Why Choose Us for Gas Work
- Licensed and Code-Compliant
Gas is not the place to cut corners. As a licensed gas line contractor, we do the work to code, pull the permits, and leave you with a line that passes inspection. That paperwork protects you as much as the workmanship does.
- Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
We use real gas leak detection to find problems precisely, and we finish every job with a gas line pressure test so we know the line holds before we turn it back on. A line that does not hold the test does not go back into service.
- Permits and Inspection Handled
We handle the permitting and inspection so your gas work is documented and legal, which matters for safety, insurance, and selling your home later. Unpermitted gas work can become a costly problem at resale.
- Upfront Pricing
Gas work should never come with mystery costs, so we scope the job and give you the price before we start, with financing available on larger installations.

Our family has trusted these guys with our plumbing for years and they always do great work! Had some plumbing issues with the toilet in the masterbath and they took care of it right away. Last year our hot water heater broke and they were able to replace it quickly and for a really affordable price. This week our garbage disposal broke and we knew exactly who to call! Highly recommend this company, especially Levi, who did a beautiful job on our hot water heater last year and on our sink and garbage disposal this week. Levi is very professional- he always does an awesome job and gets it done so fast! Thankyou, Levi/ John’s Plumbing & Rooter! You guys are the best! 🥳🫶🏻

Gas Line Questions
Don’t see your question? Call us directly — we’re happy to walk through any plumbing question before you commit to anything.
Do plumbers work on gas lines?
Yes. Many people ask if plumbers work on gas lines, and the answer is that a licensed plumbing contractor is exactly who installs gas lines for appliances and repairs leaks. We are licensed for this work and do it to code. A handyman or general contractor is not the right call for gas.
How much does gas line work cost?
Gas line cost depends on the job, a small repair is very different from running a new line across the house or replacing an old one. We assess the work and give you the price upfront before anything starts.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Treat it as an emergency. Get everyone out of the building, leave the door open, do not flip switches or light anything, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance. Once the gas is shut off and it is safe, call us for the repair.
Do you work on natural gas and propane?
Yes. We work on both natural gas line and propane line systems, which matters out here since plenty of High Desert properties run on propane rather than piped natural gas. We size and connect either system to the appliances you are running.
Do you do gas line inspections and pressure tests?
Yes. We perform gas line inspection and gas line pressure test work for home sales, added appliances, suspected leaks, or simple peace of mind, and we tell you straight what we find.
