Professional Gas Leak Detection in Mandurah
Gas leaks are not always visible. Therefore, accurate testing is important. Our licensed gas fitters use appropriate testing methods and equipment to check gas pipework, appliance connections, valves and fittings.
We can investigate suspected leaks associated with:
- Natural gas and LPG installations
- Gas cooktops, ovens and freestanding stoves
- Gas heaters and room heaters
- Gas hot water systems
- Gas bayonet points and appliance connections
- Regulators, valves and accessible gas pipework
- Residential and light commercial gas installations
Once we find the problem, we explain the available repair options before proceeding. Our aim is to restore the installation safely while keeping the process straightforward.
Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Gas has a distinctive odour added to help people recognise a possible leak. However, smell is not the only warning sign. Arrange professional gas leak detection if you notice:
- A persistent gas or sulphur-like smell
- Hissing near an appliance, valve or gas line
- An appliance flame that is yellow, unstable or behaving unusually
- A gas appliance that keeps cutting out or will not operate correctly
- An unexpected increase in gas use
- Damaged, corroded or disturbed gas pipework
- Symptoms such as headaches, nausea or dizziness while a gas appliance is operating
Leave the property and seek urgent assistance if anyone feels unwell or you believe there is an immediate danger. Do not attempt to locate a leak with a match, lighter or naked flame.
Our Gas Leak Detection and Repair Process
Every situation is different. Nevertheless, our service generally follows a clear process.
1. Discuss the problem
First, we ask what you have noticed, when the issue began and which appliances or areas may be involved. This helps us prepare for the inspection.
2. Make the installation safe
Safety comes first. We assess the immediate risk and isolate the affected supply or appliance when required.
3. Test and locate the leak
Next, we inspect the relevant gas installation and use suitable leak-detection and pressure-testing methods. This allows us to narrow down the source instead of relying on guesswork.
4. Explain the findings
We show you what we found and discuss the recommended repair. If an appliance requires specialist work or replacement, we explain the next step clearly.
5. Repair and retest
After completing an approved repair, we retest the relevant installation to confirm the result. We also check that the completed gasfitting work meets applicable requirements.
Gas Line and Appliance Leak Repairs
Our gas leak detection and repairs in Mandurah may include replacing faulty fittings, repairing accessible gas pipework, correcting leaking connections or isolating an unsafe appliance. The exact repair depends on the location, condition and accessibility of the fault.
If an older appliance is unsafe or uneconomical to repair, we can discuss replacement options. We also provide gas heater installation services and work with a range of recognised gas and hot-water brands.
Never undertake gas repairs yourself. Gasfitting work in Western Australia must be completed by an appropriately licensed gas fitter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
Turn off the gas supply at the meter or cylinder if you can do so safely. Do not smoke, use a naked flame or operate electrical switches. Open doors and windows, evacuate if necessary and call for help from a safe place.
Follow your gas supplier’s directions. For a fire or life-threatening emergency, call 000. The WA Government also provides current gas safety guidance.
Can I find a gas leak myself?
You should not dismantle, alter or repair a gas installation yourself. A licensed gas fitter has the equipment and training to test the installation and complete compliant repairs. Never search for a leak with a flame.
Can you test both natural gas and LPG systems?
Yes, we can investigate natural gas and LPG installations within our service scope. Tell us which supply you use when booking so we can arrive prepared.
What causes gas leaks?
Common causes can include loose or deteriorated connections, damaged pipework, faulty valves, appliance problems and accidental disturbance during renovations. Testing is necessary to confirm the actual source.
Will the gas need to be turned off?
It may need to be isolated while we test or repair the installation. We will explain what is required and when the supply can safely be restored.
