Local Law 152 Repairs
Over the last few years, the majority of properties in NYC are subjected to Local Law 152 which requires gas line inspections once every 4 years. If this inspection reveals a problem, you will need to have it fixed within the repair deadlines specified by the DOB and during your original inspection.
Empire Plumbing, in addition to providing LL 152 inspections, can manage all repairs to bring your property up to code before the deadline, helping you avoid any fines and maintain a property that will meet inspection requirements going forward.
Knowing When You Need Gas Line Repair in Brooklyn
Problems with your gas line are not always immediately obvious. A Local Law 152 inspection or other gas pipe inspection can reveal problems, but not all properties are required to complete one of these inspections.
Knowing potential signs of a gas line issue so that you can spot them on your own and get fast repair is the best way to avoid more costly or destructive challenges. Signs include:
- Sulfuric Smells – Gas utilities add an odor to natural gas, which is otherwise odorless, before piping it to properties. The smell is sulfuric, or similar to rotten eggs, and is often the clearest indication of a leak inside a property.
- Hissing Noises – If you can hear a hissing sound from the vicinity of your gas lines or connection points between your gas lines and appliances, this could be the sound of pressurized gas escaping the line.
- Dead Plants – A high concentration of gas in the air is harmful to plants. If you notice plants starting to die and have a gas line, there may be a leak.
- Malfunctioning Appliances – When a leak or blockage is preventing appliances from getting enough fuel, their performance may be not as expected. For example, the flame on a gas stove may be yellow instead of blue if there is not enough gas.
- Higher Energy Bills – If your gas bill is increasing without you using more gas, this could mean gas is leaking and you are paying for gas that you are not using.
If any of these issues seem to be severe, such as a very apparent hissing or clear rotten eggs, the leak may be dangerous and it is best to leave the property immediately before seeking emergency services.
Fortunately, gas line problems more often develop slowly over time. You can avoid having a more significant or dangerous problem with your gas piping system by staying aware of these signs and addressing them as quickly as possible.
Empire Plumbing is the right team to diagnose the underlying problem. Our inspections use a variety of techniques, from leak tests and pressure tests to visual inspections. Based on the challenges, we will determine the specific cause of the problem to begin making repairs on your gas line.
