Gas Leaks

Gas Leaks

Gas leaks pose significant risks to both safety and health, which means they need urgent attention. Recognising the signs of a gas leak — such as the unique odour of rotten eggs, hissing sounds, or bubbles in soapy water—can prevent serious incidents. Gas leaks can lead to fire hazards, carbon monoxide poisoning, and significant damage to property.

At Mount Barker Plumbing, our plumbers and gas fitters specialise in detecting and repairing gas leaks, to get your home back to optimal safety and security. Whether it’s coming from your cooktop or you’re facing a major gas leak from your pipes, our licensed gas fitters are equipped to handle any situation with expertise and efficiency. Discover how we can help you and your home.

Identifying Gas Leaks

Knowing how to identify a suspected gas leak is crucial for ensuring the safety of your home and family. Look out for these common signs of a natural gas leak:

• Distinctive odour: A strong smell of rotten eggs often indicates a gas leak.
• Hissing sound: Listen for hissing or whistling noises near gas appliances or pipes.
• Pilot lights: Pilot lights that frequently go out can often indicate a major problem.
• Dead vegetation: Patches of dead or dying vegetation around gas lines might indicate a leak.
• Bubbles in soapy water: Applying soapy water to suspected areas can reveal leaks through visible bubbles.

Being aware of natural gas and liquefied petroleum (LP) gas appliances helps prevent dangerous situations. If you suspect a gas leak in or around your home, contact both your gas distributor and Mount Barker Plumbing immediately for professional assistance.

Immediate Actions for Suspected Gas Leaks

In the event of a suspected gas leak, fast action can prevent serious hazards.

First, locate your gas meter and turn off the gas supply. Avoid operating any electrical appliances, switches, or lights. Don’t light matches or use a cigarette lighter. If safe to do so, ventilate the area by opening windows and doors to allow the gas to disperse. Evacuate the house and move to a safe area immediately from the suspected leak. Finally, contact Mount Barker Plumbing or emergency services for professional assistance.

By following these steps, you can minimise the risk of fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas safety is essential, so always act quickly and decisively if you smell gas or suspect a gas leak.
