Is it a Plumbing or a Gas-Fitting Issue (& Why It Matters in the Noosa & Sunshine Coast Region)

When something goes wrong in your home — maybe there’s a strange smell, a dripping sound, or an appliance that suddenly stops working — it’s not always easy to tell whether you need a plumber or a gas fitter.
Luckily, at Plumbing & Gas Services Pomona, we’re qualified to handle both. That means one local team can safely take care of everything — from water leaks to gas faults — without the confusion or risk.

💧 What’s Considered a Plumbing Issue?

If it involves water, waste, or drainage, you’re likely dealing with a plumbing issue. Some of the most common problems we see in Pomona, Noosa, and across the Sunshine Coast include:

• Leaking taps, toilets, or pipes

• Low water pressure or no water at all

• Blocked drains or slow-flowing sinks

• Hot water system not working properly (especially electric systems)

• Water stains or damp spots on walls and ceilings

Plumbing issues are often easy to spot because they involve visible water — either where it shouldn’t be, or not where it should!

🔥 What’s a Gas-Fitting Issue?

Anything that involves gas lines, gas appliances, or gas storage systems falls under gas fitting.
Some warning signs include:

• Smell of gas (similar to rotten eggs or sulphur)

• A gas hot water system that keeps cutting out

• Burners that won’t ignite or stay lit

• A yellow or flickering flame (instead of blue)

• Hissing sounds near pipes or fittings

Gas issues can be serious — they require a licensed gas fitter to diagnose and repair safely. In Queensland, only qualified professionals (like our team at Plumbing & Gas Services Pomona) are permitted to carry out gas work.

⚙️ When It’s Both: Water and Gas

Some systems, like gas hot water units, ovens, or outdoor BBQ points, involve both plumbing and gas. That’s where our dual qualifications come in handy — you don’t need to call two different trades.
We can handle both sides of the job, from safely reconnecting gas lines to checking for water pressure and leaks at the same time.

🏡 Why It Matters to Sunshine Coast Homeowners

Living on the Sunshine Coast means dealing with coastal humidity, older homes, and mixed building materials. That can affect both plumbing and gas systems — corrosion, worn seals, and minor leaks are all common here.
Calling the right tradesperson isn’t just about saving time — it’s about safety and compliance. Incorrectly handled gas lines or plumbing connections can lead to property damage or serious health risks.

• Fully licensed plumbers and gas fitters

• Fast, local response across Pomona, Noosa, Cooroy, and the Hinterland

• Honest advice and transparent pricing

• Peace of mind that every job meets Queensland standards
