Leave First, Call Second
If you can smell gas right now, stop reading and get everyone out of the house.
Get clear first
Leave doors open behind you if it costs no time, and don't flick switches, light anything or use a lighter to search for the source.
Call from outside
Ring (07) 3522 5623 from the street or a neighbour's place, never from inside the house.
Let us find it
Suppliers add an odourant to natural gas so a leak announces itself before it becomes dangerous; locating it is our job, not yours.
What We Do About Gas Leaks
Our licence covers both gasfitting and plumbing, which means a single QBCC licensed tradesperson handles the entire job. We secure the property first, then locate the leak, then repair or replace what failed, and the line gets tested and certified before gas flows again.
Gas Work Across Everton Park
The suburb's housing stock shapes the gas work we do here.
Older family houses
Much of the suburb filled in during the 1960s and 1970s, and houses of that era often still carry original copper runs, capped bayonet points for heaters, and appliance connectors that have been in place for decades.
Townhouse infill
The units and townhouses added around the South Pine Road and Stafford Road centres pack gas cooktops and heaters into tight footprints against shared walls, where a weeping connector matters to more than one household.
Mixed eras, mixed risks
A house near the Deakin Street school can sit beside a 2000s build, so the gas fittings two doors apart can be forty years apart in age, and each gets tested on its own condition.
Likely Causes, Small to Large
Gas leaks trace back to a short list of culprits, and most have straightforward fixes.
Appliance connectors
The flexible hose behind a cooktop or heater is the most common failure point, because the braiding ages faster than the appliance it serves.
Old bayonet points
Heater points capped off in the 1970s or 1980s still run off the house line, and their seals harden or corrode quietly over the years.
Corroded pipe sections
Copper gas line under the floor or in the wall can pit where moisture sits against it, especially in older homes near the Kedron Brook flats.
Faulty appliance valves
A heater or cooktop control that no longer seals fully lets gas past even when the appliance is off.
Unlicensed past work
Handyman repairs to gas lines are illegal in Queensland for good reason, and we regularly find joints that were never right from day one.
What You Can Safely Check
Almost nothing, and that's deliberate.
Don't
go hunting for the leak with a flame or a torch, pull the cooktop out, or test joints with soapy water yourself.
Do
notice from outside whether the smell is stronger near one wall or one side of the house.
Do
confirm everyone is out, and think back to whether any appliance pilot went out recently.
That information helps us; the rest is our job.
When to Call
Call immediately if the smell is indoors, constant, or strong enough to notice from the street. Call the same hour if the smell comes and goes near an appliance, or if you can hear hissing anywhere on the property.
Don't wait to see if it fades. A smell that disappears can simply mean the wind changed, not that the leak closed.
What the Repair Involves
Our gas leak work covers the full job:
Leak Location
We track the leak to where it starts, on the line, at the appliance or at the connection, and show you exactly what we've found.
Line Repairs
We repair or replace damaged pipe sections using compliant materials, and pressure-test every joint we work on before restoring your gas supply.
Appliance Fixes
Faulty valves, connectors and bayonet points are replaced with compliant fittings, and the appliance is checked for safe operation after the repair.
Certification
Gasfitting work in Queensland must be certified, and we issue the compliance documentation for the work we do on your gas installation.
Problems Behind the Smell
Connector past its life
Braided hoses behind appliances age from heat and movement, so a cooktop hose installed years ago can weep at the crimp. Replacement is a quick job once it's found.
Capped point, old seal
Bayonet points capped in the era of bar heaters rely on seals that have since hardened, letting a faint trace escape into the room. We replace or remove them properly.
Pipe corrosion
Copper line in contact with damp soil or mortar eventually pits through, and the fix means replacing the affected length rather than patching it. Testing confirms the rest is sound.
Valve not sealing
An appliance control valve that no longer closes fully keeps feeding gas when off, and the smell builds overnight. The valve is replaced and the appliance recommissioned.
Why a Fast Response Matters
Safety compounds with time
Gas accumulating in a closed room is a risk that grows the longer it sits, so a fast call and a fast arrival are the whole game, and we're available 24/7, 7 days a week.
Small leaks still matter
A faint smell near a heater point is a warning, not a nuisance, and catching it while it's a seal instead of a burst saves the bigger repair later.
Legal compliance protects you
Gas work must be done by a licensed gas fitter and certified, so a proper repair also protects you at sale time and with your insurer.

Gas Leak Questions in Everton Park
Call (07) 3522 5623What does a gas leak smell like in an Everton Park home?
Natural gas has no smell of its own, so suppliers add an odourant most people compare to rotten eggs, and any strong whiff of it indoors means get everyone outside and ring (07) 3522 5623 straight away.
Should I switch off appliances if I smell gas?
No, leave switches, appliances and anything electrical alone as you exit, since one spark is enough to set the gas alight, so get everyone outside and phone (07) 3522 5623 once you're clear.
Who looks after the gas lines in Everton Park?
The public mains in the street are maintained by Urban Utilities, but the property owner owns the gas pipework and appliances beyond the connection point, so we handle that side of the job.
Are old bayonet points in Everton Park houses a gas risk?
They can be, because many of the suburb's 1960s and 1970s houses still carry heater points that were capped off decades ago, and those seals harden or corrode until a faint trace escapes.
Can a handyman legally repair a gas line in Queensland?
No, gasfitting is licensed work, so every repair to a gas line or appliance needs the right licence plus a compliance certificate at the end, and unlicensed joints are a danger we often find.
How do I book an emergency gas plumber in Everton Park?
Call (07) 3522 5623 from outside once everyone is clear, tell us what you can smell and where it's strongest, and a licensed plumber will head out to secure the property.
