Gas leak detection in Teralba finds where gas is getting out on the house side of the meter, fixes the failed joint or pipe, and pressure-tests before supply is turned back on. The repair price is fixed before any work starts, and we are Available 24/7.

What Should You Do Before Anyone Arrives?
Safety comes before diagnosis. Take these steps the moment gas is suspected:
- Get everyone out, and leave every light and appliance switch as it is.
- Leave doors open if it is safe, so the place airs out.
- From outside, call (02) 4093 0558; a strong or constant smell also gets a call to the gas network's emergency line.
How Would You Know Gas Is Escaping?
Leaks announce themselves in more ways than the smell. Any of these justifies a detector visit:
- A faint hiss at the meter, at a bayonet or from behind an appliance.
- Burner flames that have turned lazy and yellow.
- A pilot light that keeps dying, or a heater whose flame drops out mid-burn.
- Plants yellowing along the route of a buried line in the yard.
- Feeling headachy or light-headed inside, then fine once out in the yard.
What Happens When We Get There
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4093 0558 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Trace, fix, prove it
A handheld detector follows the pipework joint by joint, the failed piece is repaired or replaced, and the isolated line must hold pressure before appliances relight.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
Every connection we touch gets a pressure test and a compliance certificate, which stays with the property records.
What Goes Into the Quote
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
Four things shape the figure:
- Where the leak sits: an appliance-side fault is a quicker fix than a break in a buried yard line.
- Access: pipe in a low crawl space takes longer to reach than pipe clipped along an outside wall.
- Parts, where a failed regulator, bayonet or length of pipe needs replacing rather than resealing.
- Timing: nights, weekends and holidays are charged at the after-hours rate, quoted when you book.

When We're Not the Right Call
Where the detector traces the escape to the meter itself or the main under the footpath, the gas network fixes it, and we help you log the fault. An ignition fault that proves to be electrical needs an electrician, and that part is flagged before any quote is written.

Gas Leak Questions From Teralba Homes
Do you attend gas leaks after hours in Teralba?
Yes, we are Available 24/7, and night, weekend and holiday jobs attract the after-hours rate, which you hear on the phone first. Describe what you can smell or hear, and we go through the safety steps with you while the job is booked.
What should I do first if I smell gas in my Teralba home?
Walk everyone, pets too, out into the yard, leaving light switches untouched. Then call us, and the gas network's emergency line too if the smell is heavy or won't fade. Even a faint smell that drifts in and out deserves a detector.
Can you trace a leak under an old cottage floor?
Yes. We work the detector along the pipe under the floor, and once the repair is in, a pressure test on that isolated section proves nothing is still escaping. A low crawl space in an older cottage slows the access, not the diagnosis, and the quote allows for it.
Is a leak at the meter my responsibility?
No. The gas network owns the meter and the mains in the street, so a fault in either is reported to them and costs you nothing from us. Everything downstream of the meter, the house pipes, bayonets and appliances, belongs to the property, and we trace, repair and test it.
