When you suspect a gas leak, time is critical — and experience makes all the difference. This week, James headed to Hall’s Head, WA, to investigate a suspicious smell that had been worrying a homeowner.
📍 Location: Hall’s Head, WA
🚩 The Problem
Right from the start, James had a hunch about where the issue was hiding. The homeowner mentioned:
•The old gas meter had been relocated previously
•The pipework layout didn’t quite make sense
•A strange gas odour kept lingering in the area
James trusted his gut — and decided to dig deeper at the original gas meter site.
🛠️ The Investigation & Fix
With the right tools (and a bit of plumber’s instinct), James quickly tracked the leak:
•Dug down at the original meter location
•Sprayed down the exposed pipe to test for leaks
•Detected a gas odour and spotted bubbles forming
•Confirmed the pipe weld had failed
•Showed the homeowner the issue and prepared the repair
💬 “Sometimes you’ve just got to trust your instincts — I had a feeling it was here, and bingo, we nailed it.”
📌 The Result
•Gas leak confirmed & located safely
•Homeowner reassured with clear evidence
•Repair prepared for a long-term safe solution
This job proves why experience matters — James didn’t waste time chasing shadows. He trusted his training and nose, leading straight to the faulty weld.
