Bendigo Plumber for Gas Leak detection and repair

Another serious issue we deal with day to day is gas leaks. When water leaks can heavily affect your property, gas leaks can affect your health and even take lives. This is why gas appliances are usually made very safe and durable, and it is rare when a newer appliance has a leak. So when you smell gas in your home, check first if someone has left the gas on for the stove or oven after they finished using it. If that’s the case, turn it off and air out the house thoroughly to not get gas sickness. If all the appliances are already turned off, and you can’t really pinpoint where the smell is coming from, you may have a gas leak somewhere in the piping. It is time to involve professionals, if in Bendigo, give us a call at Plumbing Bendigo and we will treat this as an important emergency.

How to act when there is a gas leak?

Once you have confirmed that the smell is not coming from an appliance that has been left on and called your local plumber, open up all the windows and create a draft in the house. You can turn on all the fans as well to encourage airflow. If you live in an apartment or a unit, it might be a good idea to check in with your neighbours, maybe they can smell it too? It can happen that the pipe that is leaking is inside a shared wall and is affecting multiple apartments. Our team in Plumbing Bendigo will make it an utmost priority to get to you fast, locate and fix the issue as soon as possible to minimise your family’s exposure to gas. We can deal with any gas related issue, from locating and fixing hidden gas leaks, to repairing older gas appliances.
