A gas leak found, and the reason it leaked fixed too.

Sound familiar? It's fixable.

That smell of gas when you're near the stove, or out by the meter, puts everyone on edge straight away, and it should. You start thinking about the kids, the house, whether it's safe to still be standing there. If it's strong and you're worried, turning the gas off at the meter is sensible if you can do it safely, then get us on the phone. We treat gas leaks as a priority and we won't leave you wondering.

Other times there's no smell at all, just a gas bill that's climbed for no reason you can see. That's often a leak hiding underground or inside a wall, quietly costing you money. Either way we find exactly where it's going and fix the cause, whether it's a corroded line, a perished regulator seal, or an install that was never done right.

Watch how we find a hidden gas leak

We keep hitting record, then getting distracted by actual plumbing.

Film coming soon

Find the leak, then fix the reason

Fixed for good, not fixed for now

A gas line doesn't leak for no reason. The pipe has corroded, a regulator seal has perished, or the install was never done right in the first place. Tighten a fitting and leave the reason, and the next leak is already on its way. So we do both: we find exactly where the gas is going and fix it properly, then we deal with why it happened. Fixed for good, not fixed for now.

A leak you can smell, or one you can't?

Not sure? Your plumber will tell you on the day.

Some gas leaks are obvious: the smell near the stove, a heater or the meter, or a hiss from a pipe or fitting. Others hide. A line under the floor, inside a wall or underground can leak for months, and the signs are quieter: a gas bill that's climbed when your use hasn't, a patch of grass or garden that's died off over where the pipe runs, or bubbles in a puddle when it hasn't rained. If you can smell it, we'll go straight to it. If you can't, we'll test the line and track it down.

Why gas pipes leak

Knowing why is how it stays fixed

Most gas leaks come down to one of three things. Corroded pipe: older steel gas lines under floors, inside walls and in the ground rust from the outside wherever damp gets to them, until a pinhole opens up. Perished regulator seals: the seals in a regulator dry out and crack with age, and gas gets past them. And installs that were never done right: joints that weren't sealed properly, the wrong fittings, or pipe left unsupported or run where it gets knocked.

Here's the part that matters: those causes don't stop at one spot. If one length of pipe has corroded through, the rest of it is the same age in the same ground. If one joint was done badly, the rest of that install is worth checking. That's why we always look at why yours leaked, not just where.

How we find yours

Real method, not guesswork

Safe first. Before anything else, we make sure the gas is off where it needs to be and nobody is at risk. If you couldn't find your meter, we'll show you where it is and how to turn it off, so you know next time. And you'll know the price of the first step before we touch a thing.

We prove there's a leak. We connect a gauge and pressure test your gas line. If the pressure drops with everything off, gas is escaping somewhere, and we know for certain instead of guessing from a smell.

We find exactly where it is. This is the hard part, and it's the part that matters. We test every joint and fitting we can reach. If the leak is under the floor, inside a wall or underground, we split the line into sections and test each one until we've narrowed it to the run that's leaking, then pinpoint it, so we open up the smallest area possible instead of digging around looking for it.

We fix the cause. Corroded pipe is cut out and replaced, not wrapped and left for next time. A perished regulator seal is replaced. An install that was never done right is done properly.

We prove it's fixed. We test the line again before the gas goes back on, and we show you the gauge holding steady. Then we relight your appliances and check them.

Through all of it, you only ever face one decision at a time. You'll know what the next step costs before it starts, and nothing proceeds until you're ready.

What we'll recommend, and why

Three repair options, in writing, before we start

Our rule is a simple one: we only recommend work you'll benefit from. If the leak was a one-off, a single joint or a seal, we'll fix it and that's the end of it. If your gas line is corroded, we'll show you what we found and price replacing it, the worst sections first or the whole run. And if an install was never done right, we'll show you what's wrong with it and what doing it properly costs. If we've noticed something else along the way, we'll show you that too: priced, in priority order, your call at your pace.

We get our job right so that you can keep going with yours.

What it costs

Real prices, in writing, before we touch a thing

Finding a gas leak and fixing what caused it are two different decisions, and we price them that way: you'll never get one blurred quote covering the testing, the repair and replacing a line. Tracking down a hidden leak is priced before it starts too. Every price is agreed before work starts.

And if the repair has landed at a bad time, Fix-It Now - Pay Later gives you 12 months with no interest and no repayments.

Thank you very much for the awesome review Matt! Really appreciate the time you took to give this great feedback.

MattMelbourne9 July 2026

Brady was very quick in getting back to us to solving our gas problem. The galvanised pipe from the meter had rusted and was leaking , this required several cobble stones to be lifted and soil to be dug out to uncover pipe and remove it . The pipe was rerouted and reconnected to existing gas line under the house , and extra brackets installed on pipe work enabling our supply to the hot water service & wall furnace . Cobble stones were replaced and area and debris cleaned up , I would recommend Brady & Fix it right plumbing to anybody for their prompt , polite , and professional service.

Laura JMelbourne28 Oct 2025

Fix It Right Plumbing is a fantastic company to deal with. Particular praise & thanks must go to Thane. What started out as a routine toilet replacement led to the discovery of major issues with the sewage system then later the gas line. Over the course of 2+ weeks, Thane was the epitome of professionalism & care - always with a smile on his face & nothing was ever too much trouble for him. He took the time to talk us through the issues then keep us in the loop as the work progressed. He went above & beyond expectations, even dealing with contacting various services such as the gas company & the council. I would recommend the company & Thane to everyone. PS. The bottlebrush will take pride of place in the new (eventual) front garden!

joanne de BolsterGeelong11 Sept 2025

I recently had the pleasure of working with Thane from Fix it Right Plumbing on some major work: a drain reline, sewer redirection, and gas line renewal. These were big, complex jobs, and Thane handled every aspect with skill and professionalism. He was transparent and communicative from the start, taking the time to explain everything in plain language, which I really appreciated. He listened, was patient with every question and concern, and showed genuine care throughout the process. One thing that really stood out was how much he did that he didn’t have to do. Thane took extra steps to help me — not because it was required, but because he clearly cares about doing things properly and supporting his customers. That kind of integrity is rare. He was also extremely tidy and respectful of the space, taking clear pride in the quality of his work. It’s worth noting that this was an expensive job — Fix it Right Plumbing isn’t a budget option. But if you're after someone who does things thoroughly, honestly, and with genuine care, Thane is someone you can trust. He’s a real asset to the company, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Prevention

So the bad day never comes

The cheapest gas leak is the one that's found before it costs you. If your gas line is old steel pipe, or your bill has crept up and you can't say why, having the line tested is how you find out. Fix-It Right Care Plan members get a home safety inspection of their plumbing every year, and that's a good time to ask us about anything that's worrying you.

The Fix-It Right Care Plan

Areas we service

Real local teams. Tap yours and meet them.

We find and fix gas leaks across Melbourne, Geelong, Canberra and Ballarat: same process, same training, same 10-year warranty wherever you are.

Gas leak questions

Straight answers, no runaround

I can smell gas. What should I do?

A faint smell right at the meter now and then can be normal. If the smell is strong or doesn't go away, turn the gas off at the meter, open the doors and windows, and don't use switches or flames. Then call us. If the smell is strong inside your home, get everyone out and call 000.

How do you find a leak I can't see?

We pressure test the line first, which tells us for certain whether gas is escaping. Then we split the line into sections and test each one until we've narrowed it to the run that's leaking, even under a floor, inside a wall or underground. That way we open up the smallest area possible.

Why has my gas bill gone up?

There can be more than one reason, and a hidden leak is one of them. A pressure test tells us for certain whether gas is escaping from your pipes, and if it is, we'll find where.

Why did my gas pipe leak?

Usually one of three things: old pipe that has corroded, a regulator seal that has perished, or an install that was never done right. We'll find out which, and deal with it so it doesn't happen again.

Can I fix a gas leak myself?

No. In Victoria and the ACT, gas work has to be done by someone licensed to do it. If you can smell gas, turn it off at the meter if you can do it safely, and call us.

This comes with every job we do

What every job comes with

$0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.
Three repair options. The first gets you out of trouble, the last takes care of everything the whole-home check found, and there's one in between. All of them are proper fixes.
Fixed For Good. Done properly the first time, triple tested before we leave, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Every job

Fix-It Now - Pay Later

12 months, no interest, nothing to pay

Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.

See how it works

*Eligible jobs. Terms, conditions and credit approval apply.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and they stay with your job from start to finish until it's done properly, top to bottom. We don't send one person to look and another to do the work, and we never pull your plumber off your job to chase the next call. Not many plumbing companies anywhere are that strict about it, and it's why the job gets done right the first time.
