The smell that means stop everything
Gas is everywhere here. Hot water systems, heaters and cooktops run on it across the village, and the acreage blocks often feed appliances from LPG bottles out near the shed. Gas has no natural smell; the rotten-egg odour added to it exists to get your attention before it becomes dangerous.
That smell is your cue to act, not to investigate further. Every minute spent hunting for the source indoors is a minute spent breathing it.
Why gas faults find this suburb's properties
Outbuildings and long runs
Frost and the seasons
Bottles, regulators and changeover valves
Do not wait on this
What to do right now, before we arrive
- Get people out and keep them out Everyone goes outside and stays clear, including pets. Don't go back in for phones, wallets or anything else.
- Kill the ignition sources Don't flip light switches, don't unplug anything, don't light the stove or strike a match. A spark is all it takes.
- Turn the supply off if you can If the meter or bottle valve is accessible and you know how it works, shut it. That single turn stops gas to the whole property.
- Open it up on your way out If it is safe to do so on the way past, open doors and windows to let gas disperse rather than pool.
- Call us from outside Ring (02) 9072 0520 from the driveway or the street, and stay on the line. We will confirm whether emergency services should attend alongside us.
What you can safely check
- Note the timeline When the smell started, and what appliance was running at the time, narrows the suspect quickly.
- Confirm the valve actually closed A half-turned bottle or meter valve is a common false alarm.
Do not use soapy water on fittings while you can still smell gas, and do not re-enter the building to test anything.
When it becomes our call
Any gas smell, at any strength, at any hour, is ours. A gas leak is never something to monitor overnight and review in the morning.
The moment you smell gas, or a carbon monoxide alarm sounds near a gas appliance, a licensed gas plumber needs to test, isolate and repair it properly. That is the line where homeowner assessment ends.
What we do when we get there
Make the site safe first
We confirm the supply is isolated, ventilate the space and test the air before anyone works near the line.
Trace the escape
We pressure test the installation section by section and locate the exact source, showing you what we found before quoting.
Repair and retest
The fix might be a fitting, a regulator, an appliance connection or a replaced pipe section. Whatever it is, the line gets retested and certified before it runs again.
How it works
Getting the job done, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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
Trace, repair and retest
We isolate the supply, pressure test each section to pinpoint the escape, and carry common fittings and regulators on the van so most repairs finish in one visit, then retest the line and relight the appliances before the supply 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 Galston
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 Galston 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
Gas leak response covers the whole district, from the village crossroads out along the acreage streets to Hornsby Heights, Arcadia, Dural, Middle Dural and Mount Colah, with the same licensed gas work, fixed pricing and make-safe guidance on every property regardless of how far off the main road it sits.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Galston households ask
What should I do first if I suspect a gas leak?
Get everyone out of the building, leave the doors open behind you if it is safe, don't touch light switches or phones indoors, and call us from outside the property.
Can I turn my gas off at the meter myself?
Yes, if the meter is easily accessible and you know the valve, turning the supply off at the meter is a safe make-safe step while you wait for us to arrive.
How do you find a leak that I can only faintly smell?
We pressure test the line section by section and use gas detection equipment to trace the escape precisely, so the repair targets the exact joint or fitting at fault.
Do you work on LPG bottle installations as well as natural gas?
Yes, we service and repair both natural gas lines and LPG bottle installations, including regulators, changeover valves and the pipe runs feeding appliances from the bottles.
Will the repair cost more because it is after hours?
No, there are no overtime rates, the call out fee is $0, and you receive a fixed written price for the complete repair before any work begins.
How long does a typical gas leak repair take?
Most leaks trace to a single fitting, appliance connection or section of pipe, and once located the repair is usually completed in a single visit with the line retested.
