Gas Leak Repairs in Brisbane You Can Call Any Time
A gas leak is not something you want to sit on and think about for a day or two. Even a small leak can turn into a serious safety issue fast, and it is not always obvious just from the smell or a hissing sound. If you suspect a gas leak anywhere on your property, the safest move is to turn off the gas supply if you can do so safely, avoid using any switches or open flames, and call a licensed gas leak plumber straight away.
Watermark Plumbing has been handling gas fitting and gas leak repairs across Brisbane for over 40 years. We know the older Queensland style homes just as well as newer builds and apartment complexes, and gas leak detection work varies quite a bit between the two. Older gas lines can corrode or shift with the house over the years, while newer installations sometimes have fitting issues that only show up once the system has been running for a while.
Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
- A rotten egg or sulphur type smell near appliances or gas lines
- A hissing sound close to a gas pipe or connection
- Dead or discoloured patches of grass near an underground gas line
- Higher than usual gas bills with no real change in usage
- Pilot lights that will not stay lit
If any of this sounds familiar, do not wait around hoping it settles down on its own. Gas leak issues tend to get worse, not better, and the risk is simply not worth ignoring.
Our Gas Leak Plumbing Process
When we attend a gas leak call out, we start by properly locating the source rather than guessing. From there we explain what needs to happen, whether that is a straightforward fitting repair, a section of pipe replacement, or a broader check of your gas appliances. We keep the explanation simple and let you know what is involved before any work starts.
We also carry out gas leak checks as part of general plumbing inspections, particularly for older homes going through renovation work, since existing gas lines can sometimes be affected by other trades during a build.
If you can smell gas or think there might be a leak somewhere on your property, call Watermark Plumbing on 0417 620 502 for a fast, professional response.
It is always better to have it checked and find out it was nothing than to leave a genuine leak unattended.
