First, the Safety Part
If there is a gas smell inside or near the house right now, stop reading and act:
- Get everyone out, including pets.
- Do not flip switches, light anything or use a phone indoors.
- Shut the gas supply at the meter or cylinder valve if it is safe to get to.
- Call the gas network's emergency line from outside.
- Ring us on (02) 4063 1093 once people are clear, and we will take it from there.
A leak that has ignited or filled a room is a fire-brigade call first, an emergency plumber second. Get the order right.
How Do You Know It Is Gas?
Gas does not always announce itself with a strong smell. The signs we get called about include:
- A sulphur or rotten-egg odour that comes and goes near the stove, heater or meter.
- Hissing sounds along a pipe run, at the meter or behind an appliance.
- Burner flames that burn yellow or orange instead of blue.
- Unexplained headaches or dizziness that ease when you leave the house, which points to a faulty flue or appliance rather than the pipe itself.
- Dead or brown patches of garden along a buried line, where escaping gas kills the roots above it.
Any one of these justifies a detector run. None of them justify waiting to see if it gets worse.
How We Find and Fix It
The process is methodical, and the gear is on the truck:
- 01
Isolate and test
We shut the gas off and pressure-test the system to confirm whether it holds, which confirms there is a leak and narrows down whether it sits before or after the meter.
- 02
Trace it
Electronic gas detectors sweep the pipe run, the meter assembly and every appliance connection until the leak is pinned to a joint, a section of pipe or a fitting.
- 03
Repair and retest
The faulty section is replaced or the joint remade, the system is pressure-tested again, and appliances are relit and checked at their settings.
- 04
Certify
Gas work is documented, and the paperwork is yours, which matters when you sell the house or make an insurance claim.
For new appliances rather than repairs, gas appliance installation covers cooktops, ovens, BBQs and pool heaters.
What Shapes the Cost of a Leak Fix?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
A leak repair is priced first on where the escape turns out to be:
- Where the leak sits, because a failed connection behind a cooktop is a quicker job than a fault in a line buried under a driveway.
- How much pipe is in play, since acreage setups can carry a line a long way between the meter or bottle and the house.
- What the detector uncovers, because a single corroded joint and a line that has failed in several places are different jobs.
- Whether the work falls inside or outside normal hours.
Why Gas Work Here Has Its Own Shape
The housing stock runs big
The winters bite inland
When We're Not the Right Call
If gas is pouring from the meter assembly on the supply side, that first call goes to the gas network, not to us, and their emergency line is the number to ring. And if the fault is an electrical one, like an oven circuit tripping, that is an electrician's job.

Gas Leak Questions, Answered Plainly
What should I do first if I smell gas in my Medowie home?
Get everyone outside, leave doors open behind you if you can, and do not touch light switches, appliances or your phone inside the house. Call the gas network's emergency line from outside, then call us to find and repair the leak once the immediate danger is handled.
Do you find leaks on the long gas runs out to Medowie acreage blocks?
Yes. Long buried gas runs are a feature of the older acreage holdings, and gas detectors trace them end to end. How far the pipe travels affects the quote, not whether we can find the fault.
Can a gas leak make my family sick without me smelling anything?
It can. Carbon monoxide from a faulty gas appliance has no smell, and cool inland winter nights here mean heaters and continuous-flow units run for long stretches. If headaches or dizziness lift once someone steps outside, get that person checked and get the appliances tested.
Is a gas leak repair covered by your warranty?
Yes. The repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work, like every job we do. The quote is fixed up front too, so the price you sign off on is the price you pay.
