Gas Leaks

Gas leaks can pose a serious threat to both your property and the safety of your household. It is crucial to be able to recognise the signs of a gas leak and understand when it is necessary to call a professional plumber for immediate assistance.

Recognising the Signs of a Gas Leak

Gas leaks can be dangerous as they release combustible gas into the air. Here are some common signs that indicate a possible gas leak:

  1. Unusual Odour: Natural gas is odourless, but gas suppliers add a distinctive rotten egg smell (mercaptan) to help detect leaks easily. If you notice a strong, sulfur like odour in your home, it is important not to ignore it.
  2. Hissing Sounds: If you hear a hissing or whistling sound near your gas lines or appliances, it could be a sign of a gas leak. This sound occurs when gas escapes from a cracked pipe or faulty connection.
  3. Dead or Discoloured Vegetation: Gas leaks underground can affect nearby vegetation. If you notice dead or discoloured plants in your yard, it could be an indication of a gas leak in your underground gas lines.
  4. Bubbles in Water: Gas leaks can also contaminate water sources, creating bubbles or a fizzing sound when water is running.

Remember, the safety of your household and property should always be a top priority when dealing with gas leaks.

When to Call a Plumber for Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are emergencies that require immediate attention from a professional plumber. It is crucial to evacuate the premises and follow these steps:

  • Avoid Flames or Sparks: Do not use any electrical switches, lighters, or matches that could create a spark. Even a small spark can ignite the gas.
  • Open Doors and Windows: Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area and allow the gas to disperse.
  • Turn Off the Gas Supply: If it is safe to do so, turn off the main gas supply valve. This valve is typically located near your gas meter. Only attempt to do this if you are familiar with the process and can do it safely.
  • Do Not Operate Electrical Devices: Avoid using any electrical appliances, as a spark from a switch or unplugging a device could ignite the gas.

Once you have taken these precautionary measures, it is crucial to call a professional plumber immediately. An experienced plumber will have the expertise and equipment to detect and repair the gas leak safely. They will also ensure that your gas lines are functioning correctly and that your home is safe for habitation.

Gas leaks are emergencies that should never be taken lightly. It is important to have the contact information of a reliable emergency plumber readily available for situations like these. For more information on emergency plumbing services, you can visit our article on emergency plumbing services.

While on holiday, we had a stuck bath plug, which wasn’t great with a toddler in tow. Ryan came to the rescue, arriving straight away and fixing the problem without any issues. He was so helpful and efficient, just what we needed! I only wish he lived in Melbourne so he could be our go-to plumber. Highly recommend his services!

We recently had our gas hot water system replaced by Ryan as our existing one had failed. We discovered on a Friday, that our existing system was leaking a lot of water, and Ryan came out the same day and offered a temporary patch to get us through until we could get a replacement, which we were very grateful for. We were able to then schedule Ryan in the following week as planned and he completed a new install for us. Communication was great and we found Ryan easy to work with. We will use him again for any future work.

Ryan and Jazmine were both very friendly and efficient. From the time I made the booking to when Ryan arrived on site, I was updated on his arrival time. Ryan arrived at the time he advised and was very professional. I explained the issue with the gas fireplace and Ryan told me what the issues could be and what he would do to fix it. Within half an hour he had the fireplace working again and explained how he fixed it. While he was working on the fireplace, he had a mat on the floor to catch any dirt and gave the fireplace a thorough cleaning. I was very impressed with the quality of his work, and he will be the first person I call if I have any issues with the gas appliances.

What a great service this company gives. I was told a 2 pm arrival and got a text to say he was going to arrive at 2.10... who does that these days??/ so impressive. Took his shoes off on arrival, brought a blanket to keep the area clean... vacuumed up after..A very tidy 1 and half hours and the fire place is working well.., after 30 years of not having a service. Ryan was impressed with how clean it was, well it only gets used in the winter.. which is Queensland is not very often. Cannot recommend them too highly.

We recently completed a major renovation of our place at New Farm.  Ryan was prompt to come out on site and look at the job, and he was super friendly, knowledgeable and quickly followed up with a firm / fixed price quote.

We had a laundry, shower and toilet that all required rough in and final fit off and Ryan did a top-quality job in every way.  When we ran into a few issues with some of the products I supplied, Ryan went above and beyond to work with the supplier to resolve the issue, always wanting to ensure we had a good result.

I would highly recommend Ryan and thanks to both Ryan and Jazmine for delivering on what they said they would.
