The Problem
New owners in Ellenbrook contacted Swan’s Professional Plumbing because they could smell gas near the cooktop. Nobody wants that in week one of a new house.
Our Solution
Our licensed gas fitter ran a full gas leak test on the property and found two problems. The cooktop had been installed without the required 90-degree elbow, connected straight onto the flexible hose. That’s a non-compliant installation, which means the house was sold with a gas leak built in.
We then:
- Tightened four loose brass flare nuts at the back of the property until the test held
- Capped off the cooktop supply so the rest of the house could keep using gas safely
- Quoted the compliant fix for the cooktop while the correct parts came in
The Result
The whole system tested, the real cause found, and the house left safe that day. The total cost of the job was $421.30 including GST.
Gas work is different from the rest of plumbing because getting it wrong is dangerous, so every gas job we do is tested before and after. You can see more examples in our gas fitting cost guide.
