Are you thinking about doing your own gas fitting work? Think again. Unless you are a licensed professional, you’re legally not allowed to perform any gas work. So, what are you supposed to do when you need help with gas fittings in Melbourne? Fortunately, Your Local Plumbing & Drainage provide comprehensive, high-quality gas fitting services with a $0 call-out fee. We’ve thought of a few things we thought you should know about gas and plumbing, so read on to learn why it’s always safer to hire a gas plumber in Melbourne.
Are Your Gas Fittings Safe? How To Tell If You Need Gas Fitting Services
A lot of people often ask whether or not their gas fittings in Melbourne are safe. A few telltale signs will let you know when it’s time to call a gas and plumbing expert.
- Is there any corrosion? Check all your gas fittings for signs of decay, rust, deterioration, or damage. If you spot any, make sure to get it fixed as soon as possible.
- Do regular leak checks. It’s important to check your gas fittings for any leaks, especially if you don’t have a great sense of smell. To do a leak check, simply follow these steps;
- Step 1: Fill a spray bottle with detergent and water.
- Step 2: Make sure your gas is switched on.
- Step 3: Gently spray the mixture onto the meter or cylinder fittings, connection pipes or regulator hose, the regulator, and the connection point to your device, home, or business.
- Step 4: Look for any bubbles from the cylinder or meter through to the connection point. If you spot any bubbles, you have a leak, so turn the gas off immediately. Remember to clean the soapy water off the gas fittings.
- Step 5: Call Your Local Plumbing & Drainage so we can come out and take a look. Don’t use your gas again until we’ve given you the all-clear.
- Step 6: If you’ve completed your check and there were no leaks, wipe off all the soapy water with clean water.
- Trust your nose. If you smell sulphur (it’ll probably smell like rotten eggs), you might have a gas leak. Because natural gas has no scent, gas companies add ethyl mercaptan to create a distinctive smell, allowing you to detect when there’s a gas leak in your home. So, if you smell gas, don’t brush it off. Turn off the gas and call for help.
- Get your system regularly serviced. The best way of knowing whether or not your gas fittings are safe is to organise regular maintenance. At Your Local Plumbing & Drainage, we’re experts in gas fitting services, so we can make sure your gas system is 100% safe to use.
Why Should You Leave Gas Fitting To The Professionals?
Aside from the legality aspect, there are several reasons why it’s best to leave fitting and maintenance to your gas plumber in Melbourne.
- We know what we’re doing. The Your Local Plumbing & Drainage team have years of experience providing gas fitting services, so we understand what to look for and the best way to fix your gas issues.
- Gas fitting is dangerous. Gas is such a volatile fuel source, and one little mistake can result in injuries for you, the people around you, and damage to your property. You need special qualifications to work with gas for a reason, so if you don’t know what you’re doing, step away from the gas line.

- We might be able to look at other areas of your home. Your Local Plumbing & Drainage can help with plumbing, hot water systems, and gas fitting services, so we can recognise issues you mightn’t have noticed yet and bring them to your attention.
