Expert Gas Leak Detection & Emergency Repairs

If you detect the distinct smell of gas - often described as similar to rotten eggs - your immediate priority is safety. Do not operate any electrical switches, light matches, or use your mobile phone inside the area, as a tiny spark can ignite the gas.

Open your doors and windows to ventilate the space, then head straight to your main gas meter to turn the isolation valve to the off position. Once you are safely outside, call our emergency gasfitters.

Locating a concealed gas leak requires specialised diagnostic tools rather than destructive searching. We begin by attaching a manometer to your gas meter to measure the pressure within your pipework; a drop in pressure confirms gas is escaping.

From there, we sweep the property using highly sensitive electronic gas sniffers that sound an alarm when they detect combustible molecules, allowing us to pinpoint faults hidden behind plasterboard or under concrete without tearing your property apart.

A sudden, unexplained spike in your quarterly gas bill is frequently the first indicator of an underground or external gas leak. While internal leaks are usually noticed quickly due to the added odourant in natural gas, a cracked pipe running through your garden to an alfresco barbecue or pool heater can silently vent gas into the atmosphere for months.

We can conduct a comprehensive pressure test on your entire network to find out exactly where that extra gas - and your money - is going.

In Western Australia, responsibility is divided at the gas meter. The network operator is responsible for the main street infrastructure up to and including the meter itself. If the leak is physically on the meter or the street side, you must contact their emergency line.

However, the property owner is entirely responsible for all gas pipework from the meter outlet into the house, including the connections to your hot water system and oven. For these internal and property-side faults, our licensed gasfitters will handle the repair.

Absolutely. Providing official documentation is a strict legal requirement for all gas work in Western Australia. Once we have located and repaired the fault, we conduct a final, rigorous pressure test to ensure your entire system is completely gas-tight. We then issue you with a Notice of Completion (NOC).

This certificate serves as your official proof that the repair was executed safely by a licensed professional, which is essential for your insurance records and peace of mind.
