Can a plumber work on gas lines in California?

Yes. In California, gas piping falls under the C-36 plumbing contractor license. Tuskin Plumbing holds C-36 license #1151281 and repairs gas leaks, runs new gas lines for appliances and outdoor kitchens, and pressure-tests the work.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the house right away, don't flip switches or use anything that could spark, and call the gas company or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, Tuskin Plumbing can find and repair the leak.

Is Los Angeles water hard? Do I need a water softener?

Much of Southern California has hard water, high in calcium and magnesium. It leaves white scale on fixtures, shortens water heater life and leaves spots on dishes. A water softener or whole-house filtration system from Tuskin Plumbing protects your plumbing and appliances.

What does a water pressure regulator do?

A pressure regulator (PRV) lowers the water pressure coming in from the street to a safe level for your home. Plumbing codes generally call for one when street pressure is over 80 psi. High pressure causes banging pipes, dripping faucets, running toilets and early water heater failure.

What is a backflow preventer?

A backflow preventer is a valve that stops water from irrigation systems, boilers or other connections from flowing backward into your drinking water. Tuskin Plumbing installs and repairs backflow preventers on homes and irrigation systems.
