Safety Comes Before the Phone Call

Get clear first

Everyone steps outside, nobody flips a switch or strikes a flame, and windows get opened on the way past if it is safe. From outside, ring the emergency line for the gas network if the odour is heavy or hanging around the meter.

Next, the house side

Call (02) 4093 0558 for everything on the house side of the meter. After-hours gas work runs through our emergency plumber service.

What Are the Warning Signs Inside the House?

Leaks tend to give warning. The signs worth acting on:

  • A rotten-egg smell near a cooktop, heater, bayonet or meter
  • A lazy yellow flame where it used to burn blue
  • A faint hiss along a pipe run
  • A pilot that won't stay lit
  • Feeling light-headed indoors and better once outside

Each of these is reason enough to ring. A smell that fades on its own has still not fixed itself.

How We Trace and Repair a Leak

The gear does the finding so the repair stays small:

  1. 01

    Detector pass

    A gas detector reads concentration along the run and peaks where the escape sits.

  2. 02

    Line mapping

    A pipe locator shows the route through walls and under floors, so one spot gets opened rather than the whole room.

  3. 03

    Repair

    The worn fitting, joint or pipe section the detector pointed to is replaced and sealed.

  4. 04

    Proof

    The run is pressure-tested and walked with the detector again before we pack up.

How a Gas Leak Call Runs

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4093 0558 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Pinpoint, repair, prove

    The detector finds the escape, the worn part is swapped out, and the line passes a pressure test before we leave.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

How Is Leak Repair Priced?

Three things carry the figure:

  • Where the escape sits, since a worn washer at a bayonet is a short job while a buried run needs tracing and excavation
  • Run length and pipe material, because every metre of replacement copper is cut, fitted and tested
  • Access, since a lifted floorboard in an older cottage takes less time than a line chased through a tiled unit wall

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

Gas Fittings Around the Lake Getting Old

Retro-fits are ageing

Much of the post-war brick-veneer layer had gas points added after the frames went up, and those added runs now carry fittings decades old. A slow weep at a compression joint gives an odour that arrives and leaves with the breeze, the pattern people talk themselves out of.

Outside walls face the water

The town sits on Lake Macquarie with moderate salt exposure, and that air roughens a regulator on an outside wall years before an inland equivalent gives trouble. On the foreshore side, a corroded regulator is one of the first things we check.

Escapes on the water side of the pipes are a different trade entirely; water leak detection covers those.

When We're Not the Right Call

An escape out at the street, or anywhere before the meter, is handled by the network's own emergency crew, so their number is the one to use. A fault inside a new appliance is the maker's to sort out under their warranty, once our check of the connection comes back clean.

Gas Leak Questions

Should the gas network hear about it before a plumber?

For a strong smell, an odour at the meter or anything on the street side, the network's emergency number comes first, called from outside. A faint smell that comes and goes inside the house is ours to trace, repair and pressure-test.

What if the escape sits under a tiled unit floor?

It can still be found without pulling up the floor. The detector reads concentration above the slab while the locator maps the pipe beneath it, so the repair lifts one tile rather than the whole floor. A unit above a Boulevarde shop gets the same gear as any cottage.

How is the line proven safe after the repair?

The repaired section is pressure-tested, then the detector walks the full run for a final reading. The compliance paperwork is completed on the day and follows the job out the door.

My heater smells briefly when it lights. Is that a leak?

A short burn-off smell at start-up is common where dust sits on the element, but treat any gas odour as live until a detector clears it. We check the fittings and the feed line, and the appliance gets an honest verdict: repaired, or past saving.
