Gas Leak Repair in NYC
Safe First, Then Fixed Right
If you smell gas, get out first. Leave the building, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside. The utility will make it safe, which usually means shutting off the gas.
Then call us. We find exactly where the gas is escaping, repair the piping, valve, or connection, pressure test the system, and handle the DOB filing, inspection, and utility paperwork so the gas can be turned back on.
Most leaks in NYC buildings come from the same few places: worn flex connectors behind ranges and dryers, valves that no longer seal, threaded joints that have loosened over decades, and corroded pipe in cellars and exposed risers. Finding the exact source matters, because the utility won't restore service until the piping holds pressure end to end.
If You Smell Gas
- Leave the building right away
- Don't use light switches, phones, or anything that could spark
- Call 911 or your gas utility from outside
- Call us once the area has been made safe
- Don't try to find the leak yourself, and don't go back inside until the utility says it's safe.
Finding the Source
A gas smell can come from the piping, a valve, or the appliance itself. We test until we find it, so the repair fixes the actual leak.
Emergency service: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a technician typically on site within 4 hours.
After the repair: we pressure test the piping and handle what's needed to get the gas turned back on.
If the leak is part of wider piping problems, we'll tell you what we found and quote the repair before starting.

The gas company or 911 first. They respond to the emergency and make the area safe. We repair the leak and get the gas restored afterward.
Usually, yes. The utility shuts off and locks the gas until the leak is repaired and the piping passes a pressure test and inspection. We handle that whole process.
Yes. Emergency service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and a technician is typically on site within 4 hours.
Yes. Worn flex connectors and leaking appliance valves on ranges, dryers, boilers, and water heaters are common sources. We test the appliance connections along with the piping.
Yes. Under Local Law 157 of 2016, homes and apartment buildings with gas service need natural gas alarms installed by January 1, 2027. An alarm warns you sooner, but it doesn't fix anything: a leak it detects still has to be found, repaired, and tested.
If the utility shut the gas off, yes. The repair is filed in DOB NOW, the piping is pressure tested in front of a DOB inspector, and DOB has to authorize the gas before Con Edison or National Grid will turn it back on. We handle all of it.
