Natural gas is clean burning, cost effective, and safe, but does come with risks if pipes are installed incorrectly or develop damage. Because of these risks, the NYC Department of Buildings and our local utility companies ConEd and National Grid will shut off gas if they suspect any issue with the lines. This is an inconvenient problem that requires a licensed master plumber to get your property back to full operation.
Gas service restoration in NYC requires a licensed master plumber. At Empire Plumbing Inc, we identify the issue and take whatever steps are needed to get your gas service restored. We are a full service plumbing company that can help with installation, repairs, and repiping, as well as work with the utility companies. Call us at (718)494-7301 for gas restoration at your property.

Gas Service Shutoffs
Gas restoration is a necessity any time your gas service is turned off by a utility company or by a mandate from the NYC DOB. The shutoff can be due to a few different reasons, such as a leaking pipe or appliance, corrosion, improper venting, high CO concentration, unauthorized connection to the gas main, and other concerns. The DOB groups these issues into three categories based on their severity:
- Class A
- Class B
- Class C
Classes A and B are the most serious of the classes and result in an immediate shutoff until a licensed master plumber can fix the issue. Empire Plumbing can work with any class of gas pipe issue and address all of the causes of a gas service shutoff in NYC.
