A gas leak issue is like a viral disease: prevention is better than a cure. By the time you detect gas leaks, you’ve got moments to act. The open flame of a stove, BBQ or other gas appliances, or even the burning wick of a scented candle, could turn a perfectly normal day into a breaking news story.

The best way to keep yourself and the people under your care safe is to book a yearly gas safety inspection. Every single one of our plumbers is also a licensed gas fitter. We have the tools, qualifications and experience needed to assess your home or business for all signs of danger.

Inner City Plumbing is a full-service plumbing and gas supply specialist. With multiple teams patrolling Melbourne’s suburbs in fully-equipped vans, we can instantly respond to your concerns and be on-site to manage potential gas leaks.

Great service. Easy to book through their office and Steve was efficient and quick fixing my problem. Have him back anytime. Ian
Excellent service. I called multiple plumbers with an urgent leak, and Inner City Plumbing were the most responsive. Guy did a great job in fixing the immediate issue and will be using again to shore up a number of other plumbing issues with the house.
Very professional service
Steve from Inner City Plumbing installed a garden tap on our rooftop terrace. From quote to completion the job was seemless.The price was reasonable and Steve was professional, on time and got the job done with no fuss. I would highly recommend this business.
Failed hot water unit. Shane arrived within an hour, diagnosed the problem and had the system replaced and back up within 3hrs. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend and use again.
Super fast, efficient and friendly service. Was able to come over within 30 minutes and fix our pipe with no issues
Tyron Waring, the plumber from Inner City Plumbing, solved a number of issues we’ve had for a long time, as wellas fixing a pressing major problem. He gave clear advice about our options too. He was friendly and it was easy to chat with him. We were impressed with his professionalism and his tidiness. He’s a great asset to the company. This is the second time we’ve used this company and on each occasion the plumbers have been nice people as well as being very good at their jobs.We used Inner City Plumbing again two weeks ago. They were able to send out Tyron Waring within 24 hours. He did a great job: worked solidly for four hours on a variety of problems in an old house. He gave clear advice, solved the problems and cleaned up very well. It’s such a relief to find a plumber who is clearly trust-worthy and hard working.
Response from the owner: Hi Eric, thank you so much for fantastic review. I must agree with you Tyron is very professional, tidy etc... He is a big asset to Inner City Plumbing. Again thank you for the review and i will pass on the kind words to Tyron. Regards the team at Inner City Plumbing.

Response from the owner: Amy thanks for taking time and leaving us a 5 star review. The team at Inner City Plumbing do appreciate your kind honest words.
Prompt, efficient and did a great job - this basically sums up my experience with these guys. Late Friday afternoon my only toilet in the house became blocked (that was my diagnosis) so the prospect of going through the entire weekend with a blocked toilet was not at all appealing. I called around a few plumbers and none would come out on short notice. Fortunately I called these guys, on their website it says ‘plumber within the hour’ and true to their word, they were there within the hour. The service could not have been better, they immediately diagnosed that the issue was not with the toilet itself, rather it was the blocked sewer in the laneway at the back of the property. They had all machinery in the van and with two guys on the job they went to work and unblocked the drainage. Disaster averted!I was really impressed by how Shane and the other plumber (sorry I can’t remember his name), went about their job. Very precise, didn’t make a mess and tidied up after they finished the job. Really good guys to deal with. Well done and thank you!
Response from the owner: Wow!!!! Thanks Matei for such a honest and positive review. So glad we could help you and a blockage afterhours its not a nice thing to be dealing with especially on a Friday afternoon. Thanks again from the team at Inner City Plumbing
Super lovely and fast plumbers. Had to replace the hot water service and was done within 24 hours. Would have them again with any other plumbing needs.
Response from the owner: Thanks Abi for a lovely review. We know how important it is to have hot water a home especially with Melbournes weather...:) Thanks again Abi really appreciate it.
Efficient communication and easy to work with
Response from the owner: Thank you Sulu. So glad to hear you found our service efficient and easy to work with. Regards the team at Inner City Plumbing

Response from the owner: Hi Jane always a pleasure to help you. thanks for the review.
We recommend Inner City Plumbing highly. We called the company for a big leak in the pipes in our kitchen. Guy and his assistant came quickly, diagnosed the problem, fixed it and were able to provide the needed supplies. They were knowledgeable and worked efficiently. We’ll definitely call them again for other plumbing needs. HG

Response from the owner: Thank you Danica for such a fantastic 5 star review. Must say Guy is very professional when it comes to blockages 🙂 Thanks for the recommendation.

Responsive and reliable but somewhat expensive.I called Inner City Plumbing 7am Monday morning after a burst pipe overnight had our water off at the mains and unable to shower for work.They were one of the only plumbers that answered the phone and arrived promptly at 8:30am and resolved the issue in 1.5hours.I thought normal rates would apply but I think we were still charged "emergency" rates based on the final bill.
Response from the owner: Thanks Rachael for talking the time to leave us a review

Response from the owner: Thanks Tsets Gibbons for taking the time and leaving us 5 stars.Much apprectiated.
Just got off the phone with Inner City Plumbing, where they saved me a few grand. Was looking to get drain grates installed on my roof. I had a previous plumber quote me a suspicious price, so I wanted a second opinion. Called up Inner City where I was redirected to Sam. After some back and forth, he explained that it was something I could easily do myself for a fraction of the cost. They could've easily charged for a visit, but instead just gave me honest and practical advice.
Response from the owner: Hi Nathan, always a pleasure to help and if we can save the customer money thats what we like to do. Thanks for a great review. The team at Inner City Plumbing.
I couldn’t say enough good things about Shane, and Inner City Plumbing. Bang on time, fixed what needed to be fixed and saved me from botching replacing the shower head myself. Chilled, happy to answer questions, his ultra positive early morning vibes got the bathroom back to 100% in next to no time. Thanks so much. Cheers. Sean.
Response from the owner: Sean thanks for the review. I will endevour to pass this on to Shane. Thanks again the team at Inner City Plumbing
Inner City Plumbing were absolutely outstanding!! We needed emergency plumbing after the sewer surged back into our wet areas and flooded the floor.

Response from the owner: Thanks Darren for your honest 5 star review. Regards Inner City Plumbing team.
I called Inner City Plumbing as we had a gas leak. I tried a number of plumbers in our area and no one was available to come out on the same day. Inner City Plumbing had plumber Shane arrive within the hour. Shane was awesome! He let us know the price at every stage. He showed us what needed doing and made sure everything was safe.Happy to recommend these guys. Price was great and the job was completed properly.
Fantastic experience with Guy who attended my property, quickly and efficiently rectified my plumbing issue. Very personable and positive experience. Highly recommend!

About us

When we first set up our business in the 90s, we set three goals for ourselves:

  • Always exceed your expectations
  • Always expand our expertise
  • Always enjoy the work
 

That last point may seem frivolous compared to the other two. But it’s the foundation of our success. We love our trade, and as a family-owned business, we get to spend our days working beside our loved ones and building on each other’s experiences. That’s how we’re able to improve the quality of our work and deliver the best service possible.

Frequently asked questions

If you smell a gas leak, follow these steps:

  • Extinguish any open flames and heating elements
  • Check easily accessible gas outlets, such as your stove and oven, are turned off

If you cannot identify the source of the leak, do the following:

  • Inform the building manager or anyone else in your home
  • Switch off the gas and electricity at the mains
  • Immediately evacuate the building — don’t forget your pets
  • Call us when you’re at a safe location, and do not re-enter the building

Our emergency gas leak team will be there within an hour.

Important: Never attempt to repair a gas leak or install or service a gas-fueled appliance yourself. These tasks require a licensed gas fitter.

Gas suppliers intentionally add foul-smelling chemicals to their gas supplies specifically to make leaks easier to identify. However, you may not always be able to smell a gas leak.

Here are common signs you can use to identify a gas leak:

  • Your pilot lights may be an odd colour
  • Your grass suddenly dies, or you notice bubbling water puddles in your outdoor areas
  • Your appliances make a whistling noise
  • If your hot water system uses gas, you’ll notice it quickly runs out of hot water
  • Your gas bill is unreasonably high
  • You suddenly feel nauseous or exhausted or get a sudden migraine

Call our emergency gas leak service immediately if you notice any of these signs.

Let’s schedule a yearly gas safety inspection

Fixing a gas leak is good. Preventing a gas leak is better. Get in touch, and we’ll help you schedule regular inspections and appliance checks to ensure your sight is in grade-A condition.
