Gas Leak Detection Sutherland Shire

Main indicators include a rotten-egg smell, hissing sounds near pipes or appliances, unexplained dead vegetation above gas lines, sudden spikes in your gas bill, dizziness or headaches when you’re home, or bubbling in standing water near underground pipes. If you notice any of these in Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda or anywhere across the Shire, call EKORP on 02 8667 5354 straight away.

Our licensed Shire gas plumbers use calibrated gas sensors, ultrasonic acoustic detectors, infrared imaging cameras and manometer pressure testing. These methods let us find leaks inside wall cavities, under flooring, in buried garden lines and in hard-to-access spots common on bushland-edge Shire properties, without unnecessary demolition.

Get everyone out, pets included, without touching switches, lights or devices. From a safe distance, call 02 8667 5354. Don’t go back inside until our plumbers confirm it’s safe. Don’t attempt DIY repairs or try to find the leak yourself.

We recommend annual inspections for all properties with gas connections. Older homes in Engadine, Gymea or Sylvania, larger properties with extensive piping, homes with outdoor alfresco gas heating, or commercial kitchens may be better off with bi-annual checks. Some insurers also require proof of regular inspections for Shire properties.

Yep. In a single visit we inspect all appliances including cooktops, ovens, heaters, hot water systems, outdoor patio and alfresco heaters, pool and spa heaters, and all accessible gas lines. Your whole system covered in one go.

Yes. NSW requires all gas fitting work, including leak detection and repairs, to be carried out by licensed plumbers. Rental properties need gas safety checks at least every two years. Properties in bushfire-prone zones have extra compliance requirements for outdoor gas appliances. EKORP works to AS/NZS 5601.1 and all relevant council and state regulations.

We use professional-grade tools homeowners can’t access: combustible gas detectors that pick up concentrations as low as 1 part per million, ultrasonic acoustic devices, thermal imaging cameras that reveal hidden leaks in walls and under floors, and certified pressure testing equipment. Far more accurate than soap tests and smell checks for concealed or slow leaks.

It depends on the type and location of the leak. Simple fixes like resealing connections or replacing fittings are often done on the same visit. Larger jobs like pipe replacement under floors or behind walls may take one to three days. We give you a timeframe upfront and prioritise urgent safety repairs. Gas doesn’t go back on until the repair passes pressure testing.

Yes. Our plumbers are fully trained and equipped for both natural gas and LPG systems across the Shire. LPG is heavier than air and pools at floor level, while natural gas disperses upward. Our detection equipment is calibrated for both fuel types and our plumbers know the specific risks each system involves.

Once work’s done, we issue full documentation including a Certificate of Compliance, inspection and repair reports, pressure testing certification and a safety declaration confirming the system is fit for operation. These satisfy insurance companies, property managers, rental compliance requirements and real estate agents at sale or settlement.
