Right now
A rotten-egg smell in the house always means exactly one simple thing
Get everyone outside first, then ring (02) 9072 0597 from a safe distance, because a genuine gas leak is the one plumbing emergency where the exact sequence matters more than the speed of the phone call itself.
Buried lines move when the ground does
- Original copper gas runs sit under the oldest streets Cottages near Ocean Street built through the 1940s and 1960s often still carry their first-ever gas connection, buried before modern jointing standards existed.
- Sandy, high-water-table ground shifts more than clay does A joint that has sat still for decades can work loose as the ground settles or swells with the season, especially out on the lagoon flats.
- Renovation digging finds what nobody knew was there Trenching for a kitchen extension or a new retaining wall is one of the more common ways an old gas run gets nicked without anyone noticing.
Gas leak services we provide
From a buried supply line to a loose fitting behind the stove, every suspected leak gets found with proper detection equipment and made genuinely safe the same visit, covering the situations that come up most:
Buried Line Leaks
A leak in a buried supply line rarely shows itself at the surface straight away, so we use dedicated gas detection equipment to trace it precisely underground before any digging even starts, keeping disruption to the whole yard genuinely minimal.
Appliance Connection Leaks
Loose or perished connections behind a stove, cooktop or heater are one of the most common sources of a household gas smell, and pressure testing every fitting on the line finds the exact point before anything gets safely reconnected again.
Regulator And Meter Faults
Salt-corroded regulators and meters sitting outside an exposed coastal home can quietly fail right at the joint, and properly checking those outdoor fittings during any gas callout catches a slow leak well before it ever reaches the smell test indoors.
BBQ And Bottle Leaks
Reconnecting an LPG bottle badly after a routine hardware swap is a genuinely common cause of a backyard gas smell, and a proper fitting check after any bottle change costs nothing compared with catching a leak the hard way instead.
What sits outside the house matters too
- Salt air doesn't stop at taps and hinges The regulator and meter sitting outside a coastal home corrode at the same accelerated rate as any other exposed fitting, worth checking as part of any gas job.
- A hardware run for a fresh bottle isn't the same as a proper connection Swapping an LPG bottle at the hardware store on Pittwater Road is routine, but reconnecting it badly at home is a genuine, preventable cause of a leak.
- Older brass fittings show their age outdoors first Fittings exposed to weather on an older cottage's gas line corrode well before anything hidden indoors does, so an outdoor check catches most problems early.
Common gas leak problems
Rotten-Egg Smell Indoors
A sudden rotten-egg smell inside the house almost always means gas is genuinely escaping somewhere close on the property, and everyone should quickly leave the property and call from outside rather than switching anything on or investigating it themselves first.
Smell Only Outside
Outside smells near the meter or a gas appliance deserve the same seriousness as an indoor smell, so keep clear of the immediate area, avoid lighting anything nearby, and call from a safe distance rather than getting closer to check.
Smell After Ground Movement
Heavy rain softening the ground around an older buried gas line can be enough to nudge a decades-old fitting slightly out of place, so a smell starting right after a big storm is always worth treating as genuine and urgent.
Why a gas smell is never worth ignoring
A gas leak does not announce itself politely, and treating a faint smell as something to check later rather than act on right now is where a manageable fault turns into a genuinely dangerous one:
- Gas is an explosion and fire risk, not just a bad smell A small, slow leak building up in an enclosed space near a pilot light or a switch is a genuine hazard, not an inconvenience worth living with.
- Carbon monoxide can build up without any smell at all A faulty appliance venting incorrectly is a separate risk sitting on top of a leak itself, and both get checked on the one visit.
- Acting fast protects the people in the house, not just the pipework A same-day response and a proper make-safe means nobody's left guessing overnight whether it's fine to stay.
How it works
Making your property safe, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0597 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Locate And Repair
A licensed gasfitter traces the leak precisely with dedicated detection equipment once the property is safe and everyone is clear, then repairs or replaces the failed fitting and pressure tests the line before confirming it is genuinely safe to reconnect.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Narrabeen
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Narrabeen works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
A gas job gets exactly the same paperwork, the same price discipline and the same guarantee as anything else on the van.
Where we work
Areas we service
Gas leaks get the same urgent response and the same fixed price whether the address is in Collaroy, Warriewood, North Narrabeen, Wheeler Heights or Elanora Heights, with licensed gasfitters who already know these older local streets and gas runs well.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions from around Narrabeen
What does a gas leak callout typically cost?
Every leak is different, a straightforward fitting fix takes far less time than tracing a buried line, but either way the callout, the detection and the written quote all cost $0 upfront.
How quickly does a gasfitter respond to a suspected leak?
Fast, since a suspected leak is treated as a genuine emergency any hour of the day or night, with a licensed gasfitter dispatched straight away rather than scheduled in behind routine work.
Why do older cottages near Ocean Street need extra care with gas lines?
Many still run their original copper connection from the 1940s or 1960s, laid long before current jointing standards existed, so age alone is a good reason for a proper periodic check.
Are the plumbers who attend gas leaks properly licensed for gas?
Yes, every plumber who attends holds the licensing that covers gasfitting specifically, works under licence #275278C, and finishes the job with any compliance paperwork the repair legally needs, sorted without you asking.
Is a gas leak repair guaranteed afterwards?
Every gas repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty for good, so if the exact issue we fixed ever returns, it gets corrected properly with nothing added to your bill.
Why do gas smells sometimes follow a big storm?
Saturated, sandy soil moves more than firm clay does, and that movement is sometimes enough to loosen a decades-old fitting on a buried line, worth a proper check straight after any big downpour.
