Right now
The house is empty, then the phone comes out
Working out the source while you're still indoors solves nothing and just keeps you in the wrong spot. Empty the house first.
Then dial (02) 9072 0511 from outside and give a licensed plumber a plain description of what you noticed and roughly whereabouts, so a certified gasfitter arrives already briefed rather than starting from scratch.
Where a newer run meets the original 1960s fitting
Plenty of the estate's single-level homes built in 1964 have since picked up a second bathroom or a relocated kitchen through later additions, and whatever gas line feeds that newer fixture usually had to be joined into whatever pipework was already running under the original slab, on streets such as Shannon Avenue among many others.
That join is rarely as clean as either side of it. Connecting newer pipework to a run laid decades earlier, before any extension was on the drawing board, doesn't always seat as tightly as either length manages on its own, and it's often exactly where a gasfitter traces a smell back to.
Do not wait on this
The order that matters once you smell gas
Getting these right in sequence matters more than doing them quickly, since the wrong first move is what turns a manageable fault into a genuinely dangerous one.
- Head for the nearest exit straight away Skip whatever you'd normally stop and grab, and go.
- Don't reach for a lamp, a kettle or a charger on the way past A single spark is the one variable this fault genuinely can't afford.
- Sweep the bedrooms, the laundry and the back deck as you leave A household headcount matters more than speed here.
- Call (02) 9072 0511 once everyone is a genuine safe distance from the building A licensed plumber walks you through what happens next while a certified gasfitter is already on the road.
Where we work
Fifty years of digging around a buried line
Generous blocks and decades of established gardens mean a new garden bed, a decent-sized tree going in, or fresh edging near the meter is routine work across the estate, streets like Strabane Avenue included.
A line doesn't ask before it's struck. A spade going in a little deeper than planned, or a root system pressing steadily against a shallow supply run, can crack a pipe feeding the meter without anyone realising in the moment, and the resulting smell often turns up well after the digging's actually finished.

What a gasfitter typically finds behind the smell
Two explanations cover most callouts here. Either a fitting that's simply had decades to corrode or work loose on its own, no disturbance needed, or a run knocked and strained by nearby digging or an extension's rough-in, with the leak often only surfacing some time after the work itself.
Why even a faint trace deserves the full response
Smell strength tells you almost nothing about how serious a leak actually is, and something that seems small tonight can be genuinely dangerous by morning, which is exactly what's at stake:
- Ignition needs almost no encouragement Ordinary household static, a doorbell being pressed or a fridge motor cycling on can be the trigger, none of which crosses anyone's mind as remotely dangerous on an average day.
- Air quality drops the longer anyone stays inside Breathing gas-affected air isn't something to tolerate for the sake of grabbing a jacket, and that goes double for kids or anyone with a breathing condition.
- The meter keeps turning either way A slow leak nobody's found yet is still gas you're paying for every day it runs, and tracking it down sooner rather than later keeps the eventual repair smaller.
How it works
Fixing it properly, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 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
Found, fixed, signed off
A certified gasfitter runs proper detection gear along the whole length until the actual source is confirmed, carries out the repair from van stock wherever parts allow, and leaves behind a written record of what was found.
- 04
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 Killarney Heights
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 Killarney Heights 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.

Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Killarney Heights locals ask
The smell only shows up near the stove, nowhere else. Does that still need a full callout?
Yes, a leak limited to one appliance connection is precisely what a certified gasfitter needs to trace properly, and assuming it's minor because it hasn't spread through the house is the wrong read.
We added an ensuite off the back of the house years ago. Could that be tied to a leak turning up now?
It's genuinely possible, a gas run extended to reach a relocated fixture sometimes meets the original 1960s fitting awkwardly at the join, and that's usually the first spot worth checking.
How does a gasfitter actually work out where the leak is?
With calibrated detection equipment tested methodically along the pipe and at every fitting in sequence, confirming the real source rather than guessing based on wherever the smell seems worst on the day.
Does the $0 call out fee still apply even if it turns out to be a false alarm?
Completely, coming out and checking the property costs $0 no matter what's found, and a written price only ever follows once a genuine fault has actually been located and confirmed.
The smell seems to be fading now that we've been outside a while. Safe to go back in?
Hold off regardless, standing on the footpath tells you nothing reliable about what the air's actually doing indoors, and a plumber physically checking the property beats guessing from a distance every time.
We're partway through digging a new garden bed near the meter. Could that be behind this?
Very possibly, a shallow supply line under a garden bed can be caught by a spade without anyone feeling it at the time, with the smell often only surfacing hours afterward.
