Gas leak detection services are crucial for homes and workplaces. Gas leaks are dangerous for your well-being and safety and that of your family members or colleagues, and the function of your home and workplace. Furthermore, gas leaks can cause liability concerns. At Sydney Plumbing, we provide gas leak detection services that expose areas of concern before they develop into more serious, dangerous problems.

What Is Natural Gas & LPG?

Natural Gas

Natural gas is primarily made up of methane though it does contain small amounts of other gases, such as propane, butane, ethane and pentane. In its raw state, natural gas has no colour or odour. It is formed within the earth over millions of years like other fossil fuels from the decomposition of organic matter. After extracting from the earthen reservoirs and removing impurities, consumers receive natural gas via many kilometres of gas pipelines.

LPG Gas

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a colourless, low-carbon and highly efficient fuel. LPG is a hydrocarbon gas that remains in a liquefied form. LPG is supplied in two chief forms, such as propane and butane. LPG has various uses, including fuel for crop-drying, leisure parks, heating homes, BBQs and more.

How Do Gas Leaks Occur?

Gas leaks can occur for various reasons, including rusting, loose or aged seals or connections, improper filtration systems, pinhole defects and poor welding techniques. Furthermore, they can be due to incorrect equipment operation.

Why Are Gas Leaks Hazardous?

Combustible gases can commence fire or cause bursts in homes and workplaces, injuring you, family members, friends, or colleagues at the workplace. In the long term, gas leaks can cause health issues due to gradual exposure. And some gas leaks can be silent killers. Therefore, gas leaks are riskier for your health and scary for your finances. Mending damage caused by gas leaks can be expensive, time-consuming, frustrating, and expose you to more harmful substances. Therefore, gas leak detection services are significant for health reasons. If you don’t have access to gas leak detection services to detect the root cause of the problem, the leak’s effects could happen again, costing you more money.

Trusted Gas Leak Detection Services

Using tools bought from the store to detect leaks can often lead to fake test results, and you and those around you could be in danger without even noticing it until it is too late. Not using the services of a professional to check for gas leaks can land you in more significant problems in the future. It is advisable to schedule gas leak detection services if you use any of the following items or gases:

• Gas is used as a fuel source to operate items, including water heaters, gas tanks, furnaces, gas logs, stoves, or other appliances.
• Gases commonly used in homes include propane, butane and natural gas.

Gas Leak Detection in the Workplace

Gas leaks are more prevalent in workplaces than in homes in most cases. For eliminating personnel and property hazards, qualified personnel should follow AS/NZS 60079.29.2.2008 standards for gas detectors– selection, use and maintenance, to ensure everyone and everything is kept safe. Gas leaks can infect the workspace, ruin materials and equipment, and cause workers to quit due to concern. If gas leaks from a fuel system from machinery or power, it can have the equipment work harder, resulting in higher gas costs and more frequent repairs.
