What Are the Signs of a Gas Leak?
Not every leak smells strongly. Ring about any of these:
- Rotten eggs in the air near the cooktop, a heater or the meter
- A lazy, yellow-tipped flame where the burner used to run clean
- A faint hiss at a joint, valve or flexible connector
- Grass or plants dying in a strip above a buried gas pipe
- Feeling light-headed or headachy indoors and better outside
When the smell is heavy or getting worse, clear the house at once without flicking a switch, and keep the car in the garage off. Once outside, the gas network's emergency number comes first, then us for the pipes and appliances past the meter.
How Does a Leak Get Traced and Repaired?
Each gas leak job follows these four steps, with the detector doing the finding:
- 1
Shut down and make safe
We close the meter valve, which starves the leak of supply.
- 2
Trace with the gas detector
We move the detector slowly along the pipework, each fitting and every appliance connection until it picks up the escape.
- 3
Isolate the leaking section
The faulty fitting, joint or stretch of pipe is exposed and assessed, and the repair is quoted before it proceeds.
- 4
Pressure test and certify
The repaired line has to hold test pressure, the detector goes over it once more, and a compliance certificate is written up for your records.
Repairs range from swapping a single failed fitting to replacing a section of pipe, and the price is fixed before any of it begins. The full gas fitting run, including new appliance connections, sits on the gas fitting hub.
How Is a Gas Leak Repair Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The repair price depends on:
- Where the leak is: a worn connector behind the stove is quicker to fix than a corroded length of pipe underground
- The amount of new pipe and fittings, and the material of the line already there
- Whether the leak sits somewhere hard to reach, such as under a floor or behind a rendered wall on a sloping block
- Night and weekend call-outs, priced at their own rate and included in the quote you approve
Gas Lines on the Later-Era Estate Homes
Gas arrived after the streets did
Salt air works on the outdoor fittings
Running the detector over the old joints during a renovation or appliance swap catches these early. Fitting a new barbecue or heater point is a separate job, covered under gas appliance installation.
When We're Not the Right Call
Anything from the meter back to the street belongs to the gas distributor, and their crew repairs leaks there. Our work begins past the meter, on the pipes and appliances inside your boundary.
Questions About Gas Leaks in Eleebana
What should I do first if I smell gas in my Eleebana home?
Get everybody out of the house without touching a single switch or light on the way. Once you are clear of the building, call the gas network's emergency line, then ring us on (02) 4063 3469 to find and fix the leak.
Is a faint gas smell always an emergency?
Treat it as one. A faint smell can be a small leak at a fitting that worsens with a heater running through a cold night, and older fittings on the estate-era homes here can fail without warning. It is never a job to sleep on.
Do you come out after hours for a gas leak?
Yes. Gas leaks are urgent work and we are Available 24/7. A night or weekend visit is charged at its own rate, and it is built into the fixed price you approve.
Is the repair certified when you finish?
Yes. Once the line holds pressure and the detector reads clear, you get a compliance certificate to keep with the house documents.
