Gas Leak Repair FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas, do not use electrical switches, phones or anything that could create a spark.
Turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, open doors and windows to ventilate,
leave the area and call your gas supplier's emergency line or a licensed gas fitter from a safe location.
How do gas fitters detect leaks?
Licensed gas fitters use specialised gas detectors and pressure testing equipment to locate leaks.
They may also use soapy water on fittings to identify escaping gas through bubbling. Modern
electronic detectors can pinpoint even small leaks quickly and accurately.
Can I repair a gas leak myself?
No. Gas work must only be performed by licensed gas fitters in Australia. DIY gas repairs are
illegal and extremely dangerous. Only a licensed professional can safely diagnose, repair and
certify gas work to ensure your home is safe.
How often should gas systems be checked?
It's recommended to have your gas appliances and connections serviced every two years. Older
properties or systems that haven't been inspected recently should have a safety check. Regular
maintenance helps identify potential issues before they become dangerous.
