Gas Leak Detection Greta
Gas leak detection in Greta is licensed work: a gas fitter traces the escape with an electronic detector, pressure-tests the line, repairs the fault and tests again before anything is relit. Ring (02) 4063 3475, Available 24/7, once everyone is out of the house.
Smell gas right now? Get everyone outside, leave switches and appliances alone, avoid any flame, and phone the gas distributor's emergency number from outside. Then ring the plumber in Greta for the repair.
Other gas work sits on the gas fitting hub, and new cooktops or heaters are covered under gas appliance installation.

How Can You Tell Gas Is Escaping?
Any one of these is reason enough to book a trace:
- A rotten-egg odour, strongest near an appliance or the meter
- A hiss at a fitting or along a pipe
- Flames burning yellow or orange instead of blue
- A pilot light that keeps blowing out
- Headaches or dizziness indoors that ease once you step outside
- A dead strip of lawn above a buried gas line
How Do We Find the Leak?
- 1
Make it safe
The appliance or meter valve is shut and the room aired before testing.
- 2
Sweep the line
The electronic detector is run from the meter along the pipe to each appliance, checking every fitting.
- 3
Isolate and test
The suspect section is pressure-tested on its own to confirm where it fails.
- 4
Repair and prove
The joint or section is fixed, then checked with the detector and a soapy-water test before relighting.
What Does a Leak Repair Cost?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
A leak repair varies with:
- How much pipe and how many fittings lie between the meter and the appliances
- Whether the leak is exposed or inside a wall or subfloor
- The age of the pipework, since corroded fittings may need replacing rather than resealing

What Customers Say
We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested
When We're Not the Right Call
A leak upstream of the meter is the gas distributor's to fix, and their emergency number covers that section of pipe. A water leak is a different job with different equipment, handled through water leak detection.
Gas Leak Questions
Will you come out to a gas leak in Greta at night?
Yes. A gas escape is urgent, and we are Available 24/7. Night call-outs are priced differently from daytime ones, and that difference is spelled out before anyone leaves.
Should I shut the gas off at the meter?
Only if the valve is right beside your path out and easy to turn. Otherwise leave it, open a door or window as you go, and keep everyone away from the house until the gas fitter arrives.
Can a leak hide inside the walls of an older cottage?
Yes. A joint inside a wall cavity or under the floorboards can leak slowly without an obvious smell in every room. The detector follows the line through, and anything that has to be opened is quoted before it is touched.
Do you fix the leak or only find it?
Both. Once the escape is located, the fitting is remade, the section replaced or the joint resealed, and a fresh pressure test follows before any appliance is relit. The repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work.
