- Leave your phone until you’re outside, then use it to call for help.
- Get everyone, including pets, out of the building and away from the property.
- If your gas meter is easy to reach from outside and you know how, turn it off on your way out.
- Once you’re safely away from the property, call Ausco Plumbing & Gas on 0409 299 736. If you think the leak is in the mains gas supply, or there’s any risk to life or property, call ATCO Australia’s emergency line on 13 13 52, or 000.
You Just Want It Fixed, Safely, Without The Guessing
You want the smell gone, the leak found and the all-clear to get on with your night. You want to know your family or your staff are safe, and that whoever turns up actually knows what they’re doing.
What you don’t want is to be standing in the driveway wondering whether it’s safe to go back inside, or whether the tradie on the phone is taking it as seriously as you are.
Why A Gas Leak Is : Never Something To Sit On
A gas leak rarely announces itself clearly. Sometimes it’s a rotten-egg smell near the stove. Sometimes it’s a hissing sound behind the hot water unit or a gas bill that’s jumped for no reason you can explain. None of those are things most people know how to act on straight away.
The uncertainty is the hard part. Do you evacuate the whole house over a smell that might be nothing? Do you wait until morning to call someone? Most people freeze for exactly the reason it matters most: gas leaks can lead to fire, explosion or carbon monoxide exposure, and the risk doesn’t wait for business hours.

What Happens If You Leave It & What Changes When You Don't...
The risk of a gas leak doesn’t go away on its own if left unaddressed. Every day it continues is another day of fire risk and another day of breathing in something that causes headaches, dizziness and nausea in enclosed spaces. It also tends to get more expensive the longer a damaged fitting is left to fail further.
Call a licensed gas fitter and the leak gets found, isolated and fixed, usually the same day it’s reported. Your gas bill stops climbing for no reason. You get to stop wondering whether that smell near the stove is worth investigating.
With Ausco Plumbing & Gas, you get an upfront price before any work starts, so there’s nothing to brace for when the invoice arrives.
