Smell Gas? Do These Things Before You Call
Don't touch a light switch, a power point, an appliance or a garage door remote. A switch throws a small spark as it moves, and that is enough. Don't light anything and don't use your phone while you're still inside.
Open the doors and windows on your way out. If you can safely reach your gas meter, turn the main valve a quarter turn so the handle sits across the pipe. Then get everyone, pets included, outside and away.
Once you're outside, call us. If the smell is strong, the hiss is loud, or anyone is dizzy or nauseous, ring emergency services first and then call us. We run a 24-hour emergency service across Melbourne for exactly this.

Get the leak found and the gas back on safely
We start by isolating the supply and putting a manometer on the line. A pressure drop over a timed test tells us whether the line is leaking and roughly how badly. From there we shut off sections and re-test to narrow it down.
Then we get precise. An electronic detector sniffs along the pipe run and joints, and leak detection solution shows the exact thread or flare bubbling. Most leaks are at a fitting, an appliance connection, corroded steel pipe, or a buried line strained by ground movement.
Once we've found it we repair it properly, replace the failed section or fitting, re-test the whole line under pressure, relight your appliances and issue the compliance paperwork. See our full gas plumbing services or read about gas compliance testing.

- Erin Anderson Home Owner
Incredible and reliable service! I had an emergency situation with a blocked drain and overflowing sewage in my garden late afternoon on a 43 degree day. I found Kurt's details online, he arrived with all of his equipment within 30 minutes. Worked tirelessly in intense heat to identify the issue (which was actually impacting my neighbours house too, they didn't know because they were away!). Kurt made contact with relevant water and council services and used his years of training and experience to resolve the issue. Friendly, professional, no-nonsense service. 10/10 would recommend!

We initially thought this was just a simple blockage that we could fix ourselves, but the team at Elite Plumbing quickly showed us it was more than that. They took the time to properly investigate the issue, explained everything clearly, and walked us through what needed to be done without overcomplicating things. You could tell straight away they really knew what they were doing. What stood out the most was how easy they were to deal with, communication was smooth, they were responsive, and always followed up. No chasing, no confusion, just clear and honest updates. It's not often you come across a team that is both professional and genuinely easy to work with. Really appreciate their help and would highly recommend Elite Plumbing to anyone

Gas Leak Detection FAQs
Leave the switches alone, don't light anything, open the doors and windows, and get everyone out of the house. If you can safely reach the meter, turn the main gas valve off. Once you're outside, call us. If anyone feels unwell, ring emergency services first.
Gas leaks go to the front of the queue. We run a 24-hour service across Melbourne and we're based in Glenroy, so the north and north-west are quickest. Tell us your suburb when you call and we'll give you an honest window.
Natural gas and LPG have no smell on their own, so a strong odourant is added that most people describe as rotten eggs or sulphur. You may also hear a faint hiss, see bubbling in wet soil, or notice dead grass along the gas line.
In most cases yes. Pressure testing tells us which section is leaking and electronic detection narrows it to a spot, so if we do need to excavate we're opening one small area rather than trenching the whole run. Leaks inside rarely need any digging.
Aged steel pipe is the big one. Older galvanised and black steel lines corrode from the outside, especially where they run through damp soil or under a concrete path. After that it's loose fittings, perished flexible hoses, and buried lines hit during landscaping.
We charge a set fee for attending and testing the line, and we tell you that figure on the phone before we come out. The repair is quoted separately once we know what we're dealing with. Nothing starts until you've agreed the price.
