Combustion Gas Leak Testing in San Francisco & the North Bay
Combustion gases belong inside sealed appliances and venting, not in your living space. During seasonal inspections we routinely uncover leaks that threaten health and increase fire risk. These failures are common, often hidden and usually fixable when caught early. We test, document and coordinate repairs so your equipment runs safely and efficiently. One plan, one point of contact.

What We INSPECT & SERVICE
Includes but is not limited to:
Vent and flue evaluation
We inspect venting for backdrafting, disconnections, corrosion and improper slope to prevent combustion gases from re-entering the home.
Minor corrections
Tightening loose connections, reseating accessible fittings and clearing debris around combustion appliances when safe to do so.
Appliance leak testing
We use calibrated gas detectors at furnaces, water heaters, boilers and gas fireplaces to identify leaks at valves, unions and burner assemblies.
Shutoff and safety device checks
We confirm that appliance shutoff valves, sediment traps and safety controls function correctly.
When projects get bigger
If leaks require line repairs, appliance replacement or full venting reconfiguration, we scope the problem and manage licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. You get clear pricing, proper documentation and a single project manager overseeing the work. Subscribers receive discounted partner rates.
Why it matters
- Protect indoor air quality
Gas leaks and combustion fumes can cause chronic health issues when they escape into conditioned spaces. - Reduce fire and explosion risk
Addressing small leaks early prevents far more dangerous failures later. - Improve appliance efficiency
Proper combustion and venting reduce fuel waste and extend equipment life.
Process
- Intake inspection
A review includes combustion appliances, gas lines, vent paths and mechanical spaces. We then create a maintenance plan tailored to your home. - Quarterly service
We test connections, verify draft, reassess venting and update your documentation as equipment ages and seasons change. - Special projects
For complex leak repairs, appliance upgrades or venting redesigns, we plan, estimate and manage licensed subcontractors.

Your furnace and ducts are your home’s lungs. When airflow stalls or heat delivery falters, energy is wasted and comfort drops.

For furnace replacements, duct repair and sealing, and code-level HVAC upgrades, we manage licensed HVAC partners, and Home Stewards subscribers receive discounted partner pricing.
Electricity is your home’s nervous system. Loose connections and outdated protection trips more than breakers, they risk people and property. We test, maintain and perform minor repairs during quarterly visits, then manage licensed electricians for panel work and upgrades. One plan, one point of contact.
Water and termites attack quietly. Left unchecked, they weaken framing, rot finishes, and invite mold. Home Stewards inspects and repairs early damage before it spreads, coordinating licensed specialists under GC management and a 250+ point program delivered on quarterly visits.
Fire and water damage can bring a home to a halt. From smoke cleanup to full reconstruction, Home Stewards manages recovery end-to-end under licensed GC oversight and healthy-building standards, bringing homes back to safety and function through a 250+ point program delivered on quarterly visits.
Water is relentless. When it pools, backs up or flows toward the structure, it drives rot, molds interiors and destabilizes soil. Managing water on your lot is fundamental to protecting the building. We assess grading, clear existing drains and install new systems that move water away from foundations. One plan, one point of contact.

Home hardening focuses on strengthening your home to better withstand environmental risks like wildfires, extreme weather, and long-term wear. Our approach prioritizes practical upgrades and preventative measures that improve safety, durability, and resilience without unnecessary disruption. The goal is a home that is better protected today and more prepared for what comes next.
Air and water filtration services are designed to improve the quality of what you breathe and use every day. We evaluate your home’s environment and recommend solutions that reduce pollutants, allergens, and contaminants at the source. The result is cleaner indoor air, better tasting water, and a healthier living space overall.
Dryer duct cleaning removes built-up lint and debris that can restrict airflow and increase fire risk. Regular cleaning helps your dryer run more efficiently, reduces drying time, and supports safer operation. It is a simple but important step in protecting your home and maintaining system performance.
