If You Can Smell Gas, This Page Is Your Next Five Minutes
Gas has no natural smell, so the odour you notice is added deliberately, and it means gas is escaping somewhere it should not be. This page walks you through what to do right now, what causes leaks in local homes, and what happens once you call.
What a Gas Leak Actually Looks and Smells Like
The classic sign is that rotten-egg or sulphur smell, strongest near a gas appliance, a meter, or a line running along an outside wall.
- A hissing sound near a pipe or bottle
- Yellow or orange flames on a cooktop that once burned blue
- Plants dying in an odd straight line above a buried service
- Unexplained headaches or dizziness that ease once everyone steps outside
Any one of these deserves treating as the real thing. Gas leaks give you very little warning before they give you consequences, so the safe assumption is always that the smell is genuine and the source is worth finding today.
What Causes a Gas Leak, from Simplest to Most Involved
Small fittings and hoses
Appliance faults
The pipe work itself
Weatherboard Walls, Long-Held Homes and Ageing Gas Fittings
The housing stock sets the risk profile
Winter works the hardest-worn parts
Safe Checks Before You Pick Up the Phone
First, clear the air. When the odour is heavy indoors, get people out and open doors and windows on your way, then shut the supply at the meter if the valve is within easy reach.
Second, test a visible joint. If the smell is faint and outdoors near bottles or the meter, brush soapy water over the connections and look for bubbles, which confirms a leak at that joint.
Third, note the appliances in use. That detail speeds up diagnosis enormously when the plumber arrives.
And three nevers. Never operate light switches, never light a flame, and never probe inside an appliance casing, because those jobs belong to a licensed gas fitter with detection equipment.

When to Call, and When Morning Is Fine
Call straight away, at any hour,
Call urgently but with windows open
Either way the phone is answered by a licensed plumber rather than a machine, and we talk you through the next step while a van heads your way. If the source turns out to be an ageing gas hot water unit, our gas hot water systems page covers the repair and replacement options in detail.
What We Do When We Arrive
Confirmation comes first,
Then the repair
How it works
How the Repair Runs, Step by Step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Detect, isolate and repair
We run electronic detection and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source, isolate the affected section, and replace the failed fitting, hose or joint with compliant parts, then re-test the full line under pressure before restoring your gas supply.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why Choose Your Plumber Turramurra
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Turramurra works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas We Service Beyond the Ridge
Our vans cover the whole surrounding district, so a suspected gas leak in Pymble, Wahroonga, St Ives, Warrawee or South Turramurra gets the same licensed response, the same $0 call out and the same fixed written price, with plumbers already working nearby streets rather than travelling across Sydney to reach you.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas Leak Questions Turramurra Households Ask
What should I do the moment I smell gas inside my house?
Open the windows, avoid switches and flames, shut the supply at the meter if you can reach it safely, then call a licensed plumber from outside the house.
Can I check for a gas leak myself with soapy water?
Yes, brushing soapy water over a visible joint and watching for bubbles is safe on the consumer side, but never probe inside appliances or behind walls yourself.
How do plumbers find a gas leak that I cannot locate?
We use electronic gas detectors and pressure drop testing to trace the leak to a specific joint, appliance or buried section of pipe before any repair begins.
Are older local homes more likely to have gas leaks?
Often yes, because houses built and fitted out decades ago frequently carry original gas fittings and connections that were never upgraded during earlier renovations.
How much does a gas leak repair cost?
The call out and diagnosis cost nothing, and you receive a single fixed written price covering the complete repair before any work starts, with no overtime rates.
Is a gas leak repair covered by any warranty?
Every repair we complete is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the same fault returns we come back and make it right at no cost.
