FAQs
How can I tell if I have a gas leak in my Seymour home or business?
Common warning signs include a rotten-egg or sulphur smell, hissing sounds near gas appliances or pipes, bubbles forming in standing water above buried lines, and unexplained dizziness, headaches, or nausea when indoors. If you notice any of these indicators, treat the situation as an emergency—evacuate the area, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and call a licensed gas plumber right away.
What should I do immediately after smelling gas or suspecting a leak?
1) Turn off appliances and the main gas supply at the meter if it is safe to do so. 2) Open doors and windows to ventilate the building. 3) Evacuate everyone, including pets, to a safe distance. 4) Do NOT use phones, lighters, matches, or electrical switches inside the property. 5) Call our 24/7 emergency plumbing line from outside the building or from a neighbour’s phone. Our team will dispatch a qualified gas plumber to your Seymour location immediately.
Are your emergency gas-line repair services really available 24/7 in Seymour?
Yes. Gas leaks cannot wait for regular business hours, so we maintain an on-call crew of licensed gas fitters every day of the year—including weekends and public holidays. Once you contact us, we triage the call and aim to arrive on-site in Seymour or surrounding suburbs within 60 minutes, traffic and weather permitting.
Do you service both natural gas and LPG (propane) lines?
Absolutely. Our technicians are fully licensed and trained to install, test, repair, and replace natural gas lines supplied by the utility as well as LPG systems fed from onsite cylinders or tanks. We carry the right regulators, valves, and pressure-testing equipment for each system type, ensuring your installation meets Australian Standards and local Seymour regulations.
Can you install or convert gas appliances, and is a permit required?
We can install, convert, or replace any gas appliance—cooktops, water heaters, space heaters, fireplaces, BBQ connections, and more. Victorian law requires a licensed gasfitter to perform these tasks, and most new installations or conversions must be certified with a Compliance Certificate lodged with Energy Safe Victoria. We handle all permitting, pressure testing, and certification on your behalf so your system remains safe and fully compliant.
How fast can you reach my property in an emergency, and what areas do you cover?
Our main dispatch hub is in Seymour, allowing us to reach most addresses in town within 30–60 minutes. We also cover surrounding communities such as Avenel, Tallarook, Puckapunyal, Nagambie, and Broadford. For rural properties, arrival time may extend slightly depending on distance and road conditions, but emergency calls always receive top priority and real-time ETA updates.
