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.

View review on GoogleMy hot water pressure was very low. Turned out I needed to replace my hot water system which was 16 years old…Josh installed a brand new one, took away the old & my hot water pressure is PERFECT! Josh was extremely efficient, professional & polite! An absolute credit to your team at Ausco 🎉🎉🎉
View review on GoogleI had a major water leak and contacted Ausco. After explaining the issue over the phone, they quoted me a price and locked in a time to repair. Not only were they on time to repair but they also charged me less than quoted as the repair took less time than expected. Highly recommend this business.
View review on GoogleI contacted Ausco Plumbing to install a new mixer and showerhead after having some renovation work completed in my bathroom. There was also an unexpected issue with the drain, which they were able to resolve at the last minute without any hassle. Their communication was excellent, the service was professional, and the quality of the work was outstanding. I highly recommend Ausco Plumbing and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We were looking for service providers and got feedback from Mark and another plumber during night. Continuing by some clear information exchanges and I decided to use Ausco.
Michael came in the very early morning with AUSCO full powerfull workshop. High pressure jetter machine and CCTV were used during work, no call out fee.
The double rainbow was very nice this morning, so was the service and its resonable cost.

View review on GoogleMark came to our rescue after we had a pipe burst in the first week of the year, leaving us without water. I found him through a google maps search and he was able to fit us in the next day. He was super professional, explained every step and the price was reasonable considering it was an emergency job. Even the insurance people told us he had done an excellent work. Thanks Mark
