Gas Leak Detection & Testing — Maryborough & Hervey Bay

Smell gas or suspect a leak? A GAS BLOKE plumbing services provides licensed gas leak detection and gas pressure testing across the Fraser Coast. We locate leaks, make the system safe and carry out repairs properly so your home, caravan or small commercial setup stays safe.

Gas leaks are serious. If you notice a gas smell, hissing from pipework or appliances that behave strangely, you need a licensed gas fitter who understands Type A gas systems and LPG. We find the fault, isolate the problem and repair what’s needed to restore safety.

If you smell gas, do this immediately

• Turn off gas appliances if it is safe to do so
• Open windows and doors to ventilate the area
• Avoid flames, lighters, cigarettes and anything that could spark
• Do not touch electrical switches if the smell is strong
• Turn off the gas supply at bottles or meter (if safe and you know how)
• Move people into fresh air and call A GAS BLOKE for a licensed gas leak check

Signs you may have a gas leak

• Smell of gas indoors, outdoors or around cupboards and pipework
• Hissing or blowing sound near regulators, fittings or flexible hoses
• Yellow or uneven burner flames (should burn clear blue)
• Sooting, scorching or burn marks around appliances
• Dizziness, headaches or feeling unwell when appliances run
• A sudden spike in gas usage without explanation

Gas pressure testing & safety checks

Gas pressure testing confirms whether your pipework is leak-free and operating correctly. We pressurise the system, monitor for pressure drops and isolate sections to pinpoint leaks. We also check burner operation, ventilation and flueing (where required) to ensure your system meets safety standards.

When to book a gas leak check

• Any time you can smell gas inside or outside the property
• After installing or moving any gas appliances
• If your system has been damaged by rust, impact or movement
• Before renting out a home with gas appliances
• After long periods of non-use (holiday homes, caravans)
