Gas Leak Detection — Forster and the NSW North Coast

If you smell gas — act first, then call us

​

If you smell gas, leave the property immediately and call emergency services (000) and your gas supplier. Do not switch on electrical devices.

​

Suspected gas leaks are not a wait-and-see situation. If you can smell gas, leave the property immediately, don't operate any electrical switches or devices, and call your gas supplier's emergency line and 000. Once the immediate danger is dealt with, we can come and locate, test, and repair the leak under the right licensing.

​

AVP provides licensed gas leak detection and repair across the North Coast. Natural gas and LPG, residential and commercial.​

Signs of a gas leak

  • Smell of gas (added by the supplier so it's detectable)

  • Hissing sound near gas lines or appliances

  • Dead or dying vegetation in a patch over a gas line

  • Higher than usual gas bills

  • Pilot lights that won't stay lit

  • Yellow or orange flames on a stove (should be blue)

How we test

  • Electronic gas detectors for trace amounts in air

  • Pressure testing of gas lines to isolate where the leak is

  • Visual inspection of fittings, joins, and appliances

  • Bubble testing on accessible fittings
