Expert Detection and Repair of Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are serious. Whether you use LPG or natural gas, a leak creates risks of fire, explosions, and negative health effects. Most people notice the smell of rotten eggs or sulphur first. This is an immediate warning sign.

Finding the exact source of a leak is difficult. You need a professional. Our in-house, licensed technicians use advanced tools to find the problem quickly. We do not use subcontractors. This ensures you receive the best value services and tidy work every time.

“Data from 2024 shows that residential gas incidents in South Australia decreased by 12% when homeowners prioritized annual professional inspections over DIY checks.” – SA Safety Standards Report 2025.

Signs You Have a Natural Gas Leak

You will likely be the first to notice a problem. Watch for these common warning signs:

• Odour: A smell like rotten cabbage or dirty socks
• Physical Symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, headaches, or difficulty breathing.
• Sound: Hissing or whistling noises near gas pipes.
• Environment: Plants or grass dying unexpectedly in specific patches.
• Bills: A sudden spike in your gas costs without extra usage.

If your pilot light flickers or looks weak, it may indicate a pressure issue. We recommend annual servicing for all gas appliances to catch these problems early.

What to Do During a Gas Emergency

Take action as soon as you suspect a leak. Follow these steps to stay safe:

1. Extinguish Flames: Do not light matches or use electrical switches. A single spark can cause an explosion.
2. Ventilate: Open all doors and windows to let gas escape.
3. Turn Off Gas: Locate your gas meter and turn off the main valve.
4. Evacuate: Get everyone out of the house immediately.
5. Call Sharpe Trade Services: We offer Emergencies365 support for Adelaide residents.

Stay away from the property until our technician confirms it is safe to return. Our team arrives promptly with fully stocked vans to handle the situation on the spot.

Repairing Gas Leaks

At Sharpe Trade Services, our expert gas fitters follow a structured and safety-focused approach to repairing gas leaks.

The process begins with a detailed gas plumbing system inspection, using cutting-edge tools to determine the source of the leak. Once we’ve established the source, we ensure immediate containment to minimise further leakage and potential risks.

As soon as we’ve established the leak and isolated it, we then get to repairing it safely and carefully. This might involve anything replacing damaged sections with high-quality parts, replacing a gas pipe if needed, or resealing as necessary.

Post-repair, we conduct thorough testing to confirm that the system is secure and functioning optimally. We also provide valuable advice on preventive measures to help you avoid future gas leaks.

Don’t risk your safety by ignoring a suspected gas leak; call Sharpe Trade Services, your reliable partner in gas leak repairs.

Our Gas Repair Process

We follow a strict safety protocol for every repair:

• Inspection: We use electronic sensors to pinpoint the leak.
• Containment: We isolate the section of pipe to stop the leak.
• Repair: We replace damaged sections or reseal joints using high-quality parts
• Testing: We pressure test the entire system to ensure it is secure.

Carbon Monoxide Detection Services

Carbon monoxide is an invisible killer. Unlike natural gas, it has no smell or colour. Recent 2025 health trends highlight that faulty gas heaters remain the leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning in Australian homes.

Our technicians perform thorough carbon monoxide testing. If we find a leak, we fix the root cause and implement measures to prevent it from happening again. Your safety is our priority.

“The 2024 Energy Safety Audit confirms that 1 in 5 older gas appliances in South Australia emit higher-than-standard levels of carbon monoxide.” – Local Energy Expert Quote.
