Fire departments usually have flammable gas & vapor meters.
They may be willing to come by & use their meter to locate exact spot of the leak.
Then, you'd have people with fir hazard expertise identifying the problem.
The plumber then just has to fix it it, not troubleshoot it.
When we put on our new hot water system I borrowed a meter from the manufacturing site where my office was located. When we opened the valves, I spent 10 minutes checking everything inside & outside the heating system.
When I got zero hits, I knew we were good to go.
