Which Signs Point to a Gas Leak?

  • The sulphur smell added to gas, near a cooktop, heater, meter or under the floor
  • Weak or yellow flames where the burner used to run blue
  • A hiss at a fitting, bayonet point or the meter
  • Headaches or dizziness that fade once you step outside

Treat any of these as urgent: clear the house, leave switches alone and ring. If the smell is at the meter, call the gas network's emergency line first.

  3. 3

    Pin it down

    A pressure test shows the line is losing gas, the detector narrows it to one fitting or section, and the repaired line must then hold pressure.

How Is a Leak Repair Priced?

  • How much pipe is bad One loose fitting is a quick fix; a corroded length means new pipe.
  • Buried or exposed A buried leak on damp ground has to be dug out first.
  • Crawl space A low subfloor slows the work compared with an open one.
  • When we come Night and weekend repairs are charged above weekday rates.

Old Lines, Wet Ground, Salt Air

Houses from many decades

From pre-1940 weatherboard to the fibro of the fifties and brick-veneer after it, each home had gas connected to the standards of its own era.

Ground that eats buried pipe

Blocks lying low by the bay have a high water table, and metal pipe buried in wet soil corrodes faster than on dry ground.

Salt on the fittings

Salt exposure off the lake is moderate, which is enough to age outdoor regulators and bayonet fittings over time.

Capped lines

A gas point shut off years ago can hide rusted fittings, so every idle line is pressure-tested before it is used again.

When We're Not the Right Call

If the leak is inside a newer appliance's burner or valve, the manufacturer's own repairer may need to fix it under the appliance warranty. We isolate it, make it safe and point you to them.

Once the line passes its test, new cooktops, heaters and BBQ points are handled under gas appliance installation.

Gas Leak Questions

What should I do first if I smell gas in my Blackalls Park home?

Get everyone outside, leave lights and switches as they are, and use no flames. Close the meter valve only where getting to it is safe. If the smell is strongest at the meter itself, the gas network's emergency line comes before us.

Do you fix leaks on the pipes past the meter in Blackalls Park?

Yes. From the meter to each appliance is private pipework, and that is ours to test and fix. We pressure-test from the meter, find the leaking joint or length, and price the repair before starting.

Can an old gas line in a Blackalls Park fibro cottage be used again?

Only if it passes a pressure test. Lines capped for years can rust at the fittings, so we test before connecting anything. If it fails, a new line is priced and you get the test result.

Is a gas leak repair covered by your warranty?

Yes, it carries the 365-day warranty on all work like any other job. If the repair gives trouble within the year, ring the same number.
