Gas Valve Repair in Alamo Heights, TX

Everything on the outside and around the edges is fair game for repair: a control knob that's gone stiff, a wall-key linkage that binds, an external connection that weeps, a weak pilot or thermocouple feeding the valve. What can't be rebuilt in the field is the sealed valve body itself — the internal seat, diaphragm, and regulator have no manufacturer rebuild kit. Simple rule: sticky knob or seeping union, repair; leak past the internal seat, replacement.

Usually the binding itself is just the linkage, and that's restorable. The dangerous version is different: a valve that won't shut all the way off, or one weeping gas, means the fireplace stays off now — that is not a wait-and-see fault. Smell gas at all, get out and close the supply at the meter or tank before you call anyone. The leak test is how we settle whether the valve can be restored or the body has to be condemned.

Two reasons. First, every external connection on that valve has to be made up and leak-tested correctly or you've created a gas leak, and most codes hand that work to a licensed gas fitter. Second, the judgment call itself: we will not hand back a valve that only mostly shuts off, and restorable-versus-condemn is exactly the call a homeowner has no safe way to make.

Repair is the less expensive route, and it keeps your current valve along with its remote pairing and burner setup intact. Freeing the linkage, re-sealing connections, and renewing the proving circuit is what the starting price covers. When the body itself fails the leak test, replacement with a new matched valve is the next step. Either way the quote comes in writing, and no job leaves without a leak check.

That's the whole design of it. Older homes interconnect in ways separate contractors miss — the chase that carries your original flue often carries duct runs and wiring too, and an uninsulated attic changes how the entire house breathes. We inspect chimney, ducts, dryer vent, and insulation in one pass and write it up as one prioritized report, so you're not reconciling four different opinions.

Maybe — many pre-war flues here are unlined or have cracked clay tiles, and you can't tell from the hearth. A camera inspection settles it in about twenty minutes. If it's sound, we document that and sweep it. If it needs a liner, we price it plainly and tell you what's safe in the meantime, which is sometimes nothing until it's fixed.

Inspection first, always — it sets the sequence. Typically: chimney safety items before burn season, attic air-sealing and insulation in spring or summer when it pairs naturally with duct sealing, and the dryer vent the same day as everything else since it takes the least time. Masonry repairs cure best in warm, dry months, so we slot those accordingly.
