Right now
The smell that stops everything else
That rotten-egg odour is an additive added deliberately, because natural gas on its own gives you nothing to notice. One whiff changes the whole shape of your day, and the next five minutes matter far more than the next five hours.
Do not wait on this
If you can smell gas right now
Do these things in order, calmly:
- Open doors and windows On your way out, if it is safe to do so
- Do not Flip any switches, light anything, or unplug a charger
- Turn the meter valve off If you know where it sits
- Ring the gas network from the street Then call us on (02) 9072 0504
Once the network has made the supply safe, the fault is still there waiting, and that is the part we fix.
Why peninsula gas jobs run differently
Interwar stock, original fittings
Salt and slope
Renovation legacy
Where gas leaks usually come from
Most common and most fixable first:
- A dried or cracked washer At a cooktop, heater or bayonet point, fixed in minutes
- An appliance connection or flexi hose Past service life, especially on older units
- A failed regulator or thermocouple On a storage hot water system, which is a hot water repair job once the leak is sealed
- A corroded or displaced buried run The rare one, needing proper tracing
Most turn out to be the first two. None should be guessed at.
What you can safely check yourself
Very little, and that is deliberate. You can check whether a pilot light has simply gone out on a heater or storage unit, and relight it once per the manufacturer's instructions if the smell has cleared.
You can also confirm the bottle or meter valve is fully open after a delivery. Anything beyond that, including spraying soapy water on joints, belongs to a licensed fitter with a detector.
When to pick up the phone
Call immediately if any of these apply:
- The smell is strong, persistent or getting stronger
- You hear hissing near an appliance
- A flame burns yellow and lazy instead of blue
- Anyone indoors feels dizzy or sick
Call the same day, rather than the same minute, if the odour is faint and only near one appliance. Either way it is a gas leak conversation worth having early, and the same crew handles the no hot water and overflowing-toilet calls that arrive alongside them.
How it works
How we find and fix it, 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
Test, repair, recommission
Your plumber isolates the affected section, pressure tests the line to pinpoint the escape, and repairs it with certified fittings and materials, then recommissions the system and bubble-tests every joint before the gas goes back on.
- 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 Longueville
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 Longueville 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.
Gas work is the clearest case for a crew that already knows the housing stock, because the era of your fittings shapes the repair before we arrive.
Where we work
Areas we service beyond the peninsula
The same crew covers Northwood, Riverview, Lane Cove, Woolwich and Greenwich, all within a short run down the one road spine, and every job gets the same $0 call out, fixed written pricing and lifetime-backed workmanship wherever the van is headed that day.
Good questions, straight answers
What locals ask about gas leaks
Who should I call first when I can smell gas inside my house?
Get everyone outside first, then call the gas network's emergency line from the street, and once the supply is safe a licensed gas plumber locates and repairs the fault.
Can I turn my own gas meter off while I wait for help?
Yes, most meters have a supply valve that turns a quarter turn until it sits crossways to the pipe, which shuts the gas off safely without any tools.
What does a gas leak callout actually cost?
The call out costs nothing, your plumber tests the line, finds the escape, and hands you one fixed written price for the complete repair before any work begins.
Are older peninsula homes more likely to develop gas leaks?
They can be, because unrenovated interwar cottages often still run original fittings and ageing connections that corrode or shift, which is why periodic testing is worth scheduling.
Can you repair my gas hot water system once the leak is fixed?
Yes, gas hot water repair is core work, so a failed regulator, thermocouple or injector on the unit can usually be sorted in the same visit as the leak.
Is a gas leak dangerous if I cannot smell anything?
It can be, because some faults leak slowly or sit near appliances burning inefficiently, so unexplained headaches, dying plants or higher bills all justify a proper test.
