What to know about gas leak in Adelaide
SA Gas Networks attends gas emergencies 24/7 at no charge. They isolate the gas supply to make the site safe but they do not perform repairs. The actual repair is a separate job done by a registered gas fitter.
Most gas leaks in Adelaide homes are from old compression fittings on appliance connections, copper pipework corrosion in older homes, or worn appliance internals (regulators, valves). Network gas fitters carry electronic leak detection kit to pinpoint the leak in under an hour.
Every repair ends with a Certificate of Compliance lodged via OTR. The certificate is your insurance protection if there's ever a future incident on the same gas system.
South Australian regulation
Gas leak repair requires registration as a gas fitter under the PGE Act 1995 and a Certificate of Compliance via the Office of the Technical Regulator.
