Gas leaks can pose serious safety risks and should always be inspected by a professional.
Gas leak detection requires careful testing and specialised equipment.
When our plumber arrives we first confirm the gas supply is safely isolated.
We assess whether the gas smell is strongest:
This helps determine the likely location of the leak.
To confirm whether the gas system is leaking, we disconnect the gas meter and install a digital manometer.
Existing installations are tested at approximately:
1.5 – 2.0 kPa
This is about two to two-and-a-half times the normal operating pressure (1.1 kPa) and allows leaks to be detected without damaging appliance regulators.
The system is monitored for 5–10 minutes.
If the pressure drops, a leak is confirmed.
Where isolation valves are installed we test appliances individually.
This helps determine whether the leak is coming from:
Common appliance leak sources include:
We use professional leak detection tools including:
Gas sniffers help locate leaks in:
Many older Melbourne homes still have galvanised steel gas pipes installed 40–60 years ago.
These pipes often corrode when installed underground or in damp subfloor areas.
Gas appliances must be installed and pressure tested by licensed gas plumbers.
Incorrect installation can leave small leaks in the gas line.
Flexible hose connections on cooktops or upright cookers can loosen over time and allow small gas leaks.
These leaks are often first noticed inside kitchen cupboards.
Gas installations in Australia must comply with AS/NZS 5601.1:2022 Gas Installation Standards.
Our work follows the procedures outlined in:
These standards ensure gas installations are tested, inspected and verified as safe.
