As licensed gas fitters Melbourne, we are fully equipped with the tools and experience to quickly detect and repair any gas leaks on your property.

Gas is an odourless natural resource. Fortunately, gas suppliers add a chemical into the substance so that it has a strong odour. This smell is distinct and added in, so it is more obvious when gas is leaking or left on accidentally. If you at any time get a hint of the scent of gas, it’s important to check that gas has not been left on.
Some other signs that you have a gas leak and need us to provide you with gas leak detection service in Melbourne, include:
– Your pilot light is less blue and more orange or yellow
– Gas appliances are making a hissing or whistling noise
– Gas pilot light will not stay lit
– If operating a gas hot water unit, your hot water is not running
– Gas bills are higher than usual, despite regular use
– Headaches, nausea, fatigue, breathlessness or confusion. Especially if these symptoms have only occured after running a gas appliance or entering your property

Using both our technology and expertise, we first determine whether there is a gas leak in your property by testing your network for drops in pressure. Next we begin to isolate every appliance and length of gas pipe, testing for the source of the inconsistency in pressure. Once located, we resolve the leak.
In most cases, a simple repair will suffice, and in others, the gas piping may need to be replaced. Once repair work has been undertaken, your property will be retested to ensure that all gas leaks have been eliminated.
