Gas Leak Detection in Greensborough

A gas leak is a serious emergency that requires immediate action. Natural gas and LPG are both highly flammable, and even a small leak can create a dangerous situation if gas accumulates inside an enclosed space. If you smell gas in or around your home, do not wait, act immediately.

Goats Plumbing provides urgent gas leak detection and repair services 7 days a week across Greensborough and surrounding areas. As licensed gasfitters, we have the equipment and expertise to locate gas leaks accurately and repair them safely.

If you smell gas right now:

  • Turn off the gas supply at the meter
  • Open all windows and doors to ventilate
  • Do not use electrical switches, appliances, or naked flames
  • Leave the property
  • Call the gas emergency line and then call Goats Plumbing

Signs of a Gas Leak

Gas leaks are not always immediately obvious. Natural gas has a distinctive rotten egg smell added to it specifically to make it detectable, but smaller leaks or leaks in ventilated outdoor areas can be harder to notice. Signs that may indicate a gas leak include:

  • Smell of rotten eggs or sulphur – The most obvious sign. Trust your nose and act immediately.
  • Hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance, pipe, or fitting.
  • Dead or dying vegetation in a specific area of your garden, which can indicate an underground gas pipe leak.
  • Unexplained increase in your gas bill – A gradual but unexplained rise in gas usage can sometimes indicate a small leak.
  • Bubbles in water near the ground after rain can indicate gas escaping from an underground pipe.

Gas Leak Detection Methods

Goats Plumbing uses professional gas detection equipment to locate leaks accurately and safely. Our methods include:

  • Electronic gas detectors – Highly sensitive instruments that can detect even very small concentrations of gas, allowing us to pinpoint the source of a leak without guessing.
  • Pressure testing – Systematically pressurising sections of the gas system to identify and isolate where pressure is dropping.
  • Soapy water testing – A traditional and reliable method for checking fittings and connections for small leaks once the general area has been identified.

Gas Leak Repairs

Once the leak is located, Goats Plumbing carries out the repair safely and to Australian gas standards. The repair approach depends on where and what type of leak has been found:

  • Leaking fittings or connections – Replacement or re-sealing of the affected fitting or joint.
  • Damaged gas pipe – Replacement of the damaged section of pipe.
  • Faulty appliance connection – Repair or replacement of the flexible hose or connection fitting at the appliance.
  • Underground pipe leaks – Targeted excavation to expose and repair the leaking section of buried gas pipe.

Following every gas repair, Goats Plumbing carries out a full pressure test of the system to confirm there are no remaining leaks before restoring the gas supply.
