If you can smell gas in or around your home or business, don’t ignore it. A gas leak is a serious safety risk that requires immediate professional attention. At Local Leak Detection Specialist, we provide fast, accurate and non-invasive gas leak detection services for residential, commercial and industrial properties throughout the Illawarra, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Shoalhaven, Southern Highlands and Greater Sydney. With more than 20 years of industry experience, our team uses advanced leak detection technology to locate gas leaks quickly without unnecessary digging, damage or guesswork.

Professional Gas Leak Detection Specialists

Gas leaks can occur in underground gas pipes, internal gas lines, appliances, meters and external services. Left undetected, they can create significant health and safety hazards, including fire and explosion risks.

Our experienced technicians use specialist equipment to accurately locate the source of the leak, allowing your licensed gas fitter or plumber to carry out targeted repairs. By precisely identifying the leak location, we help minimise disruption, reduce repair costs and avoid unnecessary excavation.

Advanced Leak Detection Technology

We utilise a range of industry-leading equipment, including:

• Tracer gas leak detection
• Electronic gas detectors
• Acoustic listening devices
• Pressure testing
• Thermal imaging where appropriate
• Underground service locating equipment

These non-destructive methods allow us to detect even the smallest leaks hidden beneath concrete slabs, inside walls, underground or beneath landscaped areas.

Common Signs of a Gas Leak

If you notice any of the following, it’s important to arrange immediate professional inspection:

• A rotten egg or sulphur smell
• Hissing sounds near gas pipes or appliances
• Unusually high gas bills
• Dead or dying vegetation above underground gas lines
• Dizziness, headaches or nausea when indoors
• Gas appliances not operating correctly

If you suspect a gas leak, turn off your gas supply if it is safe to do so, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, leave the area immediately and contact a qualified gas leak detection specialist.
