Gas bottles emptying faster than usual



A pilot light that keeps going out, or a flame burning orange/yellow instead of blue

What To Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak



Turn off the gas supply at the cylinder or main valve if it is safe to do so.



Open doors and windows to ventilate the area.



Do not use open flames, light switches, plugs or cell phones inside the affected area – a spark can ignite the gas.



Evacuate everyone from the building.



Call Core Gas Installations on 079 540 1802 from a safe distance. Do not switch the gas back on until the installation has been tested and declared safe.

How We Detect Gas Leaks

Our technicians use state-of-the-art electronic sniffer devices that detect even trace amounts of LP gas, combined with pressure testing of your complete installation to SANS 10087-1 standard. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of a leak – in pipework, fittings, regulators or appliances – without unnecessary damage to your property. Once located, we repair the leak, re-test the system and certify that it is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do professionals detect a gas leak?

We use electronic sniffer devices that sense trace amounts of LP gas, together with pressure testing of the full installation. This pinpoints the leak precisely without damaging walls or fittings unnecessarily.

Is a small gas leak dangerous?

Yes. Even a small leak can build up in an enclosed space and create a fire, explosion or health risk. Any suspected leak should be inspected immediately by a registered gas practitioner.

How much does gas leak detection cost?

The cost depends on the size and accessibility of your installation. We charge a standard call-out fee that includes the inspection and leak test, and quote you before any repair work begins.

Can a gas leak make you sick?

Yes. Exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea and fatigue, and displaced oxygen in enclosed spaces is dangerous. If symptoms ease when you leave the building, suspect a leak and have it checked immediately.
