IF YOU SMELL GAS, DO THIS FIRST
Nothing on this page is worth reading before you are safe. If there is a gas smell in or around the house, get everyone outside first. Do not flip switches, do not use the garage door opener, and do not stand in the house making the call. From outside, call your gas utility emergency line, and then call us at (661) 235-0506 so we can get the repair moving once the utility has made the property safe.
My water heater died. It is the day before Thanksgiving. I know there is one plumber I can count on for honest, quality service, here in Palmdale. The plumber came at 12:45 p.m.. By 4:45, he was done installing a new water heater, and had cleaned up after himself, and instructed me on its use. I have used Brock Plumbing before, and will never go anywhere else, neither should you.
Fantastic service. They were able to fix the problem quickly and arrived less than 2 hours after my call. Highly recommend if you want someone to get in, get the job done, and make sure everything is right without wasting your time. 5 Stars!
It's a family owned business. His price was very fair and the service was good and prompt. Actually showed up on time and he was in and out. He fixed the stopper on the bathtub and the fireplace. I will use him again and I passed his card onto the property manager.
- Brock Plumbing is been helping us with the above and more. Customer service is fantastic. Count on Brock Plumbing. They help us anytime and always find a way.
Mr Brock & his team are the best……to a major leak in my foundation, to mainline septic issues to minor shower leaks. He is always responsive & professional to my needs. I recommend him to everyone!
Brock Plumbing did me right they will work with you and make sure you are satisfied with your results
These guys are amazing. I used their services four times in the last 2 1/2 years (just bought a house, had several problems). On the last call, they came out and fixed the problem so quickly that they decided not to even charge me. Mel and his group are kind and professional, and I absolutely will not call anyone else in the AV for a plumbing issue. Love these guys.
I called Brock Plumbing today for a water leak on my front lawn. They answered my call promptly and was very helpful with my needs. Michael, who was absolutely great and professional, assisted me with my plumbing issue and got the job done as soon as possible. He made this transaction so easy for me and earned my trust from the beginning. This company gives good quality customer service and goes beyond for your plumbing needs.
We’ve had both Michael and Ramon come out for plumbing issues in our business locations. Both were so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend them for all your plumbing needs!
Very satisfied with the work Brock Plumbing did replacing our water heater. Responded to the online request within 20-25 min of me submitting it. Really friendly setup an appointment for an estimate that day. The window she gave was long, but they came at the top of the time frame. They came to the house in total compliance with COVID rules. Looked the situation over quickly (the problem was obvious) gave me the best quote I got ALL day. It included the new water heater, not just the labor. Once we were ready they gave me an appointment for the next day...yay! They gave me another wide window of time, but again they came in the earlier part of the time frame. Actually they were early. Did the job in the quoted time frame installed the correct water heater (for a manufactured home), a BETTER water heater. The cost was what they quoted the day of the estimate NO surprises, the only extra cost was for hauling away the water heater so ask at the estimate if you need that, it's not much at all. The new one looks so professional and works great...and with a shut off. Thank you for doing such a professional and great job!
- AWESOME COMPANY - AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE - AWESOME TECH !!!!
Called and set up a service call with Bernie for the next morning. Brock Pluming showed up right at 9AM (call time 9 to 11 AM) - We needed our tankless water heater flushed and water pressure valve checked. Service tech Michael was professional, super knowledgeable and a great guy !!! Flush went fine and took the time that he told me it would take. Michael showed me that our water pressure valve had gone bad and said it needed to be replaced. He had to go get the part as it was not on his truck. Michael returned in about 20 minutes, replaced the valve and set the proper pressure for the house. I highly recommend Brock Pluming and specifically Michael for any and all plumbing needs !!!! I have tried many plumbing companys and Brock plumbing is so far the best service, and great rates, I will use them the future and refer to anyone

- A gas bill that climbed with no change in how the house uses gas
- Pilot lights that keep going out, or burner flames that burn yellow rather than blue
- Soot marks around a water heater, furnace or range connection
GAS LINE WORK WE DO IN LANCASTER, CA
New Appliance Runs
Moving a range, adding a dryer, converting a fireplace or putting a tankless unit where a tank used to sit all change what the gas system has to deliver. Sizing matters more than people expect: a line that was adequate for one appliance can starve two. We size the run for the load it will actually carry rather than the one it carries today.
Fire Pits, Pool Heaters, Outdoor Kitchens and Generators
Yard gas is its own job. Buried line has to be the right material, at the right depth, with the right protection where it comes up out of the ground, and the shut-off has to be somewhere a person can actually reach in a hurry. Rock and decomposed granite yards in the high desert are common here, and they change how a trench gets cut and backfilled.
Repairing Corroded or Damaged Line
Most of the gas repairs we run in Lancaster are not dramatic. They are a fitting that has weathered at the point where line leaves the ground, a section of black pipe that has rusted at a joint, or a flexible connector behind an appliance that has been flexed one time too many. We find it with a pressure test, not a guess.
Capping, Relocating and Pressure Testing
When an appliance goes away for good, the line gets capped properly rather than left with a valve and a prayer on the end of it. When a remodel moves a wall, the line moves with it. Either way the system is put under test pressure and watched before anything is closed up.
PERMITS AND TESTING FOR GAS WORK IN LANCASTER, CA
Gas piping is permitted work. For an address inside the city limit, the permit comes from the City of Lancaster and an inspector signs off the pressure test. Addresses in the unincorporated pockets around Lancaster go through Los Angeles County Building and Safety instead. This is the part homeowners most often try to skip, and it is the part that matters most when the house is sold or when an insurer asks how the work was done. We pull the permit and meet the inspector as part of the job. The same split is described on our Quartz Hill, CA plumber page and on our Lancaster, CA plumbing hub.
WHAT THE JOB ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
| Gas line job | Why it comes up in Lancaster, CA | What the work involves |
|---|---|---|
| New appliance run | A remodel, a range move, or a tankless conversion that changes the gas load | Size the run for total load, cut in the branch, test and connect |
| Outdoor line to a fire pit or pool heater | Desert yards get used year-round and outdoor gas appliances are common | Trench and lay approved buried line, sleeve the riser, set an accessible shut-off |
| Corroded section replacement | Line exposed at grade weathers, and older black pipe rusts at the joints | Isolate, cut out the failed section, replace and pressure-test the system |
| Cap and make safe | An appliance is removed or a wall moves during a remodel | Shut down the branch, cap at the tee, test the remaining system |
| Leak location and repair | Odour, a high bill, or an appliance that will not stay lit | Pressure-test by section to isolate the leak, repair, then re-test |
Yes. Adding to the gas system is permitted work, and the permit comes from the City of Lancaster inside the city limit or from Los Angeles County Building and Safety in the unincorporated pockets. We pull it and meet the inspector, so the finished work is on record for whenever you sell.
The utility owns the service up to and including the meter. Everything on the house side of the meter is a licensed plumbing job, and that is the part we do. If the problem turns out to be on the utility side, we will tell you rather than bill you for it.
It can be. A small leak on a buried yard line often never reaches your nose, because the gas disperses outdoors. The way to settle it is a pressure test on the house-side system, section by section, which tells us whether the line is holding at all.
Yes. Generators are a load-sizing job more than anything else, because a generator that starves at start-up is worse than no generator. We size the run for the generator plus whatever else is already on the system rather than for the generator alone.
It gets capped at the tee and the remaining system is put back under test. A live branch left behind an appliance that no longer exists is one of the more common things we find during a remodel, and it is not something to leave sitting.
Yes. We cover the same gas work across the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley, including Palmdale, Quartz Hill and the surrounding communities listed on our plumbing service area page. Call (661) 235-0506 and tell us the address.
