Gas Leak Detection & Emergency Gas Repairs

Can You Smell Gas?

A suspected gas leak should always be taken seriously.

Whether your home uses natural gas or bottled LPG, a gas leak can present a serious safety risk.

Natural gas and LPG have a distinctive odour, often described as smelling like rotten eggs or cabbage.

Gas leaks may occur around damaged gas pipes, faulty appliance connections, gas meters, LPG regulators, cylinder fittings and other gas supply components.

What Should You Do If You Smell Gas?

If you suspect a gas leak:

Leave the affected area immediately. Move everyone away from the suspected leak.
Avoid ignition sources. Do not smoke, light matches, use naked flames, operate electrical switches or use your mobile phone near the suspected leak.
Isolate the gas only if safe. Do not approach leaking equipment if doing so puts you at risk.
Report suspected natural gas leaks. From a safe location, contact Jemena Gas Networks on 131 909, available 24 hours a day.
Call 000 if there is immediate danger, fire or a serious gas emergency.

Do not return to the affected area until it has been declared safe.
