Gas Leak Detection Methods

A methodical, evidence-based approach is used to locate suspected gas leaks before any isolation or repair work begins.

Electronic gas detection

Purpose-built electronic gas detection instruments are used to identify the presence and concentration of escaping gas around fittings, joints and appliances.

Pressure testing

The gas line is pressure tested to check the system is holding correctly, helping confirm whether a leak is present and where the pressure loss is occurring.

Systematic appliance and pipework checks

Appliances, connections and exposed pipework are worked through methodically to rule out or confirm each potential leak point before any repair begins.

Underground gas-line investigation where appropriate

Where a buried gas line is suspected, further investigation is carried out to help locate the affected section of pipe prior to any excavation or repair.

How a Gas Leak Repair Is Carried Out

Once a leak is confirmed, licensed gas plumbers follow a careful technical sequence to make the property safe and restore the gas supply correctly.

  1. Step 1

    Locate

    The source of the leak is pinpointed using electronic detection, pressure testing and systematic checks of appliances, fittings and pipework.

  2. Step 2

    Isolate / make safe

    The affected gas supply is isolated and the area made safe before any repair work begins, reducing risk to occupants and property.

  3. Step 3

    Repair damaged pipework/fittings

    Damaged pipework, joints or fittings are repaired or replaced by licensed gas plumbers in line with the applicable gas fitting standards.

  4. Step 4

    Pressure test and recommission where permitted

    Once repairs are complete, the system is pressure tested and, where permitted, recommissioned so the gas supply can be safely restored.
