Frequently Asked
Questions

How do leak detectors work, and do I need one at home?

Leak detectors sense even tiny amounts of escaping gas. Prices vary: basic alarms are affordable, while handheld and industrial detectors cost more. Installing one, whether a gas stove leak detector or a whole-house monitor, adds crucial protection.

How can I detect a gas leak without professional equipment?

The most common DIY test is soapy water. Apply to joints or pipes; bubbles may indicate a leak. But this isn’t a long-term fix, always rely on professional leak detection services.

What are the main signs of a gas leak?

The signs of a gas leak include rotten egg odor, hissing near fittings, unexplained illness, and dead patches in gardens. If you smell gas, act fast.

Can leaks happen in confined spaces?

Yes. A gas leak in a confined space like basements or cupboards, is especially dangerous because fumes build quickly. Ventilate and call us immediately.

Do leaks only come from appliances?

No. Leaks can occur in both gas appliances and the gas lines that connect them. That’s why we test your entire system.

Are natural gas leaks different from LPG leaks?

Yes. A natural gas leak rises since it’s lighter than air, while LPG collects near the ground. Both require urgent professional leak detection methods.

Can gas leaks cause water leaks or other damage?

Yes. Corrosion from a leak in your home can damage pipes, sometimes leading to water leaks and costly repairs. Early detection prevents this.

What’s the difference between gas companies and independent fitters?

Gas companies handle supply, but may not check your internal system. Licensed gas fitting experts like Water Works specialise in home inspections, repairs, and prevention.

Should leak detection be done regularly?

Yes. A one-time fix addresses immediate danger, but regular checks give you peace of mind that your system is safe long term.

What leak detection methods do professionals use?

We use advanced gas detectors, pressure testing, and monitors. These methods are far more accurate than DIY soapy water tests.

Why is peace of mind so important?

Because leaks are often silent until they become critical. Regular checks ensure your home and family stay safe while you use your gas appliances confidently.

How much is a gas leak detector?

The price of a gas leak detector price varies, basic home alarms are affordable, while advanced handheld or industrial models cost more. However, it’s still best to call Water Works for expert gas leak detection services, since our certified gas fitters can accurately detect and fix the problem, not just alert you.
