Gas Safety First
Smell gas or suspect an active leak? Leave first. Call second.
Do not smoke, light flames, use electrical switches or start vehicles near the suspected leak. If it is safe, turn off the gas at the meter or LPG cylinder, move people away from the area, and call 000 if there is immediate danger. From a safe location, contact your gas distributor for reticulated supply and a licensed gas fitter for inspection and repair.

Know The Signs
When To Book Gas Leak Detection
Gas systems should be assessed by a licensed gas fitter whenever something does not feel right. A smell is the obvious trigger, but a concealed leak or appliance fault can present in other ways too.
A rotten-egg or sulphur-like gas smell indoors, around the meter or near an LPG bottle
A hissing sound from a regulator, gas line, meter, appliance connection or bottle valve
Soot, yellow/orange lazy flames, or an appliance that is not burning or operating normally
A pilot light that repeatedly goes out, an unexplained gas-bill increase, or an appliance fault after a recent alteration
Drying or distressed vegetation along a suspected underground gas-pipe route
Headache, dizziness or nausea while using a gas appliance—leave the area and seek urgent advice if symptoms are severe
Important: Do not try to locate a gas leak yourself with a flame or by dismantling fittings. If you are unsure, step away from the area and call for professional help.
Our Detection Methods
Evidence-Led Gas Leak Detection—Not Guesswork
The right method depends on the supply type, pipe material, access and the way the fault presents. We test methodically to identify the issue before recommending the repair.
Controlled Pressure Testing
Proves whether the installation is holding
We isolate the system correctly, apply a controlled test pressure and monitor it with precision gauges. A stable test helps rule out the pipework under test; a pressure loss tells us there is a fault to investigate. It is the disciplined first step that replaces guesswork.
Evidence before repairElectronic Gas Detection
Sensitive scanning at likely leak points
A professional electronic detector lets us scan accessible joints, meters, regulators, appliances and pipework routes for gas presence. This is especially useful when the source is small, intermittent or difficult to smell reliably.
Targeted investigationTracer-Gas Pinpointing
For suitable concealed pipework
Where conditions are appropriate, the existing gas line is isolated and a safe tracer mixture is used to help locate an escape path with a sensitive probe. It can reduce unnecessary excavation or wall opening by narrowing the repair area first.
Non-destructive focusConnection & Appliance Checks
The simple faults that still matter
We inspect bottle connections, regulators, appliance bays, flexible connectors and accessible joints. Many leaks are found at a fitting, seal or damaged section—not somewhere mysterious under the property—and those are often the quickest faults to make safe.
LPG & natural gasOur Process
How We Find & Fix A Gas Leak Safely
A gas leak is not a job for assumptions. Our process keeps the immediate safety response, diagnosis and repair decisions clear from start to finish.
01
Make the Situation Safe
We start with the immediate risk: the gas source, ventilation, ignition sources and the people on site. If the situation needs emergency services or gas-distributor attendance, safety comes before diagnosis.
02
Inspect the Whole System
We identify whether you have LPG or reticulated gas, inspect the meter or bottles, appliances, regulators and accessible pipework, then record the signs that guide the test plan.
03
Test, Isolate & Locate
Pressure testing, electronic detection and—where suitable—tracer-gas pinpointing systematically narrow the fault. We test sections, rather than assuming the first suspicious fitting is the only issue.
04
Repair, Retest & Document
Once the cause is confirmed, we explain the repair, provide a written quote before non-emergency work, then retest after completion. You receive clear findings and relevant compliance documentation where applicable.
Why Creative Coast
One Licensed Team From Diagnosis To Final Test
We are not a call centre or a detection-only service. You get a local, QBCC-licensed gas fitter with the testing equipment, repair capability and practical Gold Coast experience to take the job through properly.
LPG, Natural Gas & Appliances
From bottle connections and regulators to gas hot water, cooktops, heaters and buried lines, we investigate the whole installation—not only the closest fitting.
Minimal Disruption
Testing narrows the fault before any invasive work is recommended, helping protect landscaping, walls, tiles and your budget.
Clear Written Scope
Once the fault is identified, we explain the remedy and give you a written price before non-emergency repair work begins.
Retest & Documentation
We verify the completed repair and provide clear findings, photos and relevant compliance paperwork where it applies.
