Los Angeles is home to one of the oldest and most extensive natural gas distribution systems in the United States, with many residential lines dating back 50+ years. The region's expanding clay soils and occasional seismic shifts can compromise underground gas lines, while the city's dense urban environment means neighbors are often close by, making detection accuracy essential.
