Gas Leak Repair Services
When it comes to gas leaks, safety is not optional. In New York City, gas piping repairs and alterations must be performed by a Licensed Master Plumber, who will file the necessary permits to ensure compliance with local codes. Many property owners are tempted to save money by hiring a handyman to replace a gas valve or make a quick repair. This can be a costly and dangerous mistake, since gas systems require specialized knowledge, proper licensing, and strict adherence to safety regulations. An improperly installed valve or untested gas line can create serious hazards for occupants and the building.
Our team performs gas leak repairs across Queens, from prewar apartment buildings to newer developments throughout the borough, in accordance with the New York City Fuel Gas Code and Department of Buildings regulations. After repairs are completed, a pressure test must be performed and witnessed by the Department of Buildings.
Don’t take risks with gas work. Hire a Licensed Master Plumber, ensure the proper permits are in place, and make sure your gas piping is thoroughly tested before the job is considered complete.
What Should I Do if I Smell Gas?
If you smell gas inside your home or building, leave the area immediately. Once you and your loved ones have moved to a safe distance, call 911 or your gas utility, Con Edison or National Grid, depending on which one serves your building in Queens. After the gas has been shut off safely, you will need to hire a Licensed Master Plumber to repair the leak and restore your gas service.
Gas Leak Repair in Queens: Local Considerations
Large parts of Queens were built out before World War II, including the garden apartment co-ops of Jackson Heights and the prewar apartment buildings of Astoria and Sunnyside. Gas piping in buildings of that age has often been patched and extended over many years, which makes careful leak tracing and repair especially important in these neighborhoods.
Elsewhere in the borough, the high-rise residential towers built in Long Island City in recent years have much newer gas systems, so gas leak repair work in Queens covers a wide spread of piping ages and building layouts.
Gas service in Queens is split between Con Edison and National Grid, so any gas leak repair that requires a shutoff, permit, or service reactivation is coordinated with whichever utility serves the building.
