Can you smell gas right now? Make the house safe before you call

Treat every gas smell as real. A leak can come from an ageing fitting, a loose connection or an appliance, but the safe response is the same, so act first and diagnose later.

Get everyone out

If you smell gas, leave the property and call from outside, taking children and pets with you.

No flames, no switches

Do not flick switches or light flames, and avoid the stove or any ignition source until the gas clears.

Shut the supply

If you can reach it safely, close the gas valve at your meter box, then call us from a safe distance and wait outside for the plumber.

Once you are safely outside, our licensed plumber traces the source with a proper leak test, one of the most pressing jobs our emergency plumbing team attends.

Why older homes leak gas

Ageing fittings and joints

Many established houses along Forest Road and Wollongong Road still run gas fittings put in decades ago, and the old thread compound dries out and weeps before anyone smells trouble.

Buried and hidden runs

In the pre-war double-brick stock, gas lines often thread through wall cavities and under paths, so a small leak goes unnoticed until it pools in a closed room and reaches your nose.

Renovation disturbance

As these homes are updated, existing lines get knocked or extended, and a joint disturbed during other work is a common source we trace and seal.

How it works

How we find and fix a gas leak

Finding a leak safely takes the right test gear and a methodical hand, so once the house is clear we work through the system in order to locate and seal the fault:

  1. 01

    Pressure testing the line

    We isolate the gas supply and run a pressure test across the system, watching whether it holds or drops, which tells us straight away whether you have a genuine leak and roughly where along the run it is escaping from.

  2. 02

    Pinpointing the source

    Using a gas detector and leak solution along fittings and joints, we track the escape to the exact connection or length of pipe at fault, so the repair is targeted rather than a costly guess at renewing otherwise sound pipework.

  3. 03

    Sealing and certifying

    Once located, we remake the failed joint or renew the damaged section, then prove the whole run holds under a fresh test, and leave your gas safely back on with the full compliance paperwork the job legally requires of us.

From gas heaters to the meter box

Appliances and heaters

A gas cooktop, a wall heater or an old gas hot water system can each leak at the connection, so we check appliances as well as fixed lines.

Meters and mains

On the older blocks near Done Street the leak sometimes sits right at the meter or the first fitting inside the boundary, which we test and repair without disturbing the sound pipework beyond.

Apartments and strata

In the strata blocks near the railway, a gas smell can involve a shared riser, so we coordinate access and isolate the affected line before working.

Common gas leak signs we chase

A smell that comes and goes

An intermittent gas smell near a heater or stove that then fades often means a fitting that only weeps at times, so we pressure test the line to catch the leak your nose alone cannot pin down.

A pilot that will not hold

A pilot light that keeps dropping out on a gas appliance can point to a supply or valve fault, not the appliance alone, so we check the whole line before ever blaming a simple appliance niggle.

Why a gas leak is never a wait-and-see

Gas is not a problem to sit on overnight, and treating even a faint smell seriously keeps a minor repair from becoming something far worse:

Safety first

A gas build-up in a closed room endangers everyone inside, and acting the moment you smell it is the most important thing you can do.

Leaks only worsen

A weeping joint rarely heals itself and tends to open up, so the fitting that smells faint today can become a much larger escape within days.

Proper certification

A gas fault fixed correctly comes with the compliance paperwork that protects your household, which an unlicensed patch cannot give you.

How it works

Our process, from first call to safe

  1. 01

    Call and tell us

    Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.

  2. 02

    Quote before work

    Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.

  3. 03

    Locate and make safe

    With the price agreed, we pressure test the system, pinpoint the leaking fitting and either seal or renew it where we safely can, then check the full run again and hand your gas back only once it proves completely tight and safe.

  4. 04

    Backed for life

    Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.

Why choose Your Plumber Arncliffe

On a gas call, licensed and genuinely local is what you want on the doorstep.

Fixed prices, kept

Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.

Licensed and insured

Your Plumber Arncliffe works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.

Lifetime Labour Warranty

Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.

Genuinely local response

We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.

Where we work

Areas we service

The same licensed gas response reaches Wolli Creek, Banksia, Rockdale, Turrella and Kogarah, where the older homes all carry the same ageing fittings and long buried runs that make a careful leak test worth far more than any rushed guess.

Good questions, straight answers

Gas safety questions Arncliffe locals ask

What should I do the moment I smell gas?

Get everyone out of the house, do not touch switches or flames, shut off the meter valve if you can do so safely, and call a licensed plumber from outside straight away.

How quickly can you get to a suspected gas leak?

A suspected leak ranks among our most urgent calls, so we answer day or night and send the nearest licensed plumber fast, because gas is never something to leave until morning.

Can you test whether I actually have a leak?

Yes, we run a proper pressure test across your gas line and use a detector along the fittings, which confirms whether there is a genuine leak and shows us exactly where it escapes.

Do these older houses commonly have gas problems?

Yes, many established homes here still run decades-old gas fittings and buried lines that dry out and weep over time, which is why a careful leak test is worth doing properly.

Will you leave the gas safe and certified?

Yes, once the leaking fitting is sealed or renewed we retest the whole line and restore your gas with the compliance paperwork the job requires, so your household is left genuinely safe.

What does a gas leak repair cost?

You approve one clear written price before we begin, with a $0 call out fee and no after-hours loading, no matter what hour of the night we are called out.
