Gas Piping Inspection and Testing
Many multi-family buildings and commercial properties are subject to strict regulations regarding their gas infrastructure, including NYC Local Law 152 where applicable. A gas piping inspection Flatbush Brooklyn is designed to catch potential safety hazards before they become emergencies. During an inspection, we visually assess the exposed piping in public spaces and basements, checking for corrosion, illegal connections, and proper supports.
If a leak is suspected or a repair has been made, we conduct a pressure test. This involves capping the line and pumping it with air to a specific pressure. We monitor a gauge to ensure the pressure holds steady over time, proving that there are absolutely no leaks remaining in the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the utility company locks my gas meter?
If the utility detects a leak, they will shut off and lock the meter for safety. You must hire a qualified professional to locate the leak, make the necessary repairs, perform a pressure test, and arrange for an inspection before the utility company will restore service.
How do you find a hidden gas leak?
We use sensitive electronic combustible gas detectors to narrow down the general area of the leak. Then, we apply a specialized bubbling leak-detection solution to the pipe joints and fittings to visually confirm the exact pinpoint location of the escaping gas.
Can older gas pipes be repaired, or must they be replaced?
If a specific joint or a small section of pipe is leaking, that specific area can often be cut out and repaired. However, if the piping shows extensive, deep corrosion throughout the basement, replacing the entire run may be necessary to ensure long-term safety.
