In Australia, millions of households rely upon natural gas for life chores. Natural gas is clearly the leading source of energy that keeps households running. Majority of households and commercial spaces deploy gas systems for obvious reasons and it won’t be wrong to say that the constant gas supply is the second most important necessity for any household after the water supply. However, gas systems are vulnerable to problems and malfunctioning can happen at any point of time. In such situations, it is important to call qualified gas plumbers to restore the situation to normality. The inherent danger associated with gas makes it very essential for you to call an expert in the problematic times instead of trying sorting out things on your own.

With Your Choice Plumbers working in the Melbourne area, qualified and skilled plumbers are just a call away. We have expert gas plumbers working with us who can address all possible problems related to gas plumbing quickly and efficiently. But, how would you know that it is the time to call a gas plumber? For that concern, here are five signs that say you need to call a gas plumber-

  1. Trust Your Eyes and Instincts-

No matter if you are not an expert, you can still see if things aren’t relatively correct. Every house owner knows where the gas connections are and what points need to be inspected in order to lookout any damage. Notice of a slightest of damage should alarm you to call a gas plumber.

  1. Lookout for Dead Things-

Many times, the gas line outside the house also cause problems. Look around for strange dead spots near the house to detect such problems. Signs of dead vegetation are a clear indication that something is wrong and the possibilities of your home’s gas line being the culprit are really high. Before the problems get into your home, call a plumber to address the matter.

  1.  Low, Dirty or No Flame-

When you see a low flame, it clearly means that the pressure is low in the gas line; this could also be a sign of leak or blockage. A leak can also lead to no flame at all because due to the leak the gas would go somewhere else instead of where it should be. Furthermore, if stove burners are burning dirty or the flame is of a different colour, then it is clear sign that something is wrong and you need to make a call to the gas plumber.

  1. Cannot Shut-Off the Gas Supply-

The most terrifying is when you choose to shut off the gas and it doesn’t go off. Shutting down function is a safety feature, which allows you cut off the gas supply in the hour of emergency or when you don’t need the gas. When you cannot switch off the gas, it clearly signifies the safety feature need instant attention.

  1. Trust Your Nose-

There is no particular odour of natural gas. But, an odour, similar to rot rotten eggs, is deliberately added so you can have a fast notice of gas leak. Be attentive and responsive to these smells and take immediate action.
