Smell Gas? Get the Source Checked by a Licensed Gasfitter
A strange gas smell can turn an ordinary day into a stressful one very quickly.
You may notice the smell near a cooktop, heater, hot water unit, gas meter or another part of the home. You may have no idea where it is coming from.
Gas pipework, fittings and appliances should be inspected and tested by an appropriately licensed gasfitter. Victorian regulations place gas pipework, appliances, flues, fittings, maintenance, testing and related work within the gasfitting class.
DB Pro Plumbing provides gas leak detection Melbourne homeowners can call on when a gas concern requires qualified attention.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
Treat any suspected gas leak seriously.
If you can do so safely:
- Turn off the gas at the meter for natural gas or at the tank or cylinder for LPG.
- Put out naked flames.
- Do not smoke or strike matches.
- Do not operate electrical switches or devices.
- Open doors and windows if the smell is inside.
- Keep people away from the affected area.
- Contact your gas distributor if you suspect natural gas is escaping.
- Contact a licensed gasfitter for gas fitting inspection and repair work.
For fire, explosion or immediate danger, call 000. These steps reflect current Energy Safe Victoria gas emergency advice.
Do not attempt to locate or repair gas pipework yourself.
Our Gas Leak Detection Process
1. Call and Tell Us What You’ve Noticed
Tell us where you noticed the smell, when it started and whether it appears close to an appliance, meter or another area.
Gas leak concerns receive priority attention. Same-day service may be available, subject to location, workload and technician availability.
2. A Licensed Gasfitter Inspects the Gas System
Our gasfitter assesses the affected area and tests relevant gas pipework, fittings or appliances using suitable gas-testing methods.
The aim is to locate the source rather than make assumptions based on smell alone.
3. We Explain the Fault and Price
Once the issue has been identified, we explain what has been found, what work is recommended and what the approved repair will cost.
DB Pro Plumbing operates with upfront, fixed pricing, so the scope and price are clear before repair work begins.
4. Repair, Test and Document the Work
Approved repairs can then be completed by the licensed gasfitter.
The affected system is checked again before relevant gas service is returned to use. Where Victorian rules require a plumbing compliance certificate, the applicable documentation is issued by a licensed practitioner.

Frequently Asked Questions
A gas smell should be treated seriously. If there is fire, explosion or immediate danger, call 000. Avoid flames, smoking and electrical switches. If safe, isolate the gas supply and ventilate the area. Energy Safe Victoria directs natural gas customers who suspect an escape to contact their gas distributor. A licensed gasfitter can then inspect gas fitting inside the property.
Keep people away from the affected area. Do not attempt to repair pipework or appliances. Do not create an ignition source. Follow Energy Safe Victoria guidance and any instructions provided by your gas distributor.
A licensed gasfitter assesses the installation and tests relevant pipework, fittings and appliances using suitable gas-testing procedures and equipment. The exact method depends on the property, system and suspected fault.
Repairs may be completed during the same attendance when the source can be identified, the required parts are available and the work can be carried out safely. We will explain the repair and fixed price before approved work starts. Same-day completion cannot be promised for every job.
Where Victorian regulations require one, a compliance certificate must be issued by a licensed plumber. The exact requirement depends on the type and value of the gas work completed.
Smell Gas? Put Safety First and Call a Licensed Gasfitter
A suspected gas leak is not the time to guess, wait for the smell to disappear or attempt a home repair.
Follow current gas emergency safety guidance, move away from the affected area where required, then arrange qualified gas fitting assistance.
