Emergency Gas Safety Warning

If you smell natural gas (a pungent rotten-egg odor), hear a hissing pipe, or suspect an active gas emergency, evacuate the building immediately. Do not use electrical light switches, telephones, or appliances inside. Once safely outside at a distance, call 911 or Con Edison at 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). Do not use regular scheduling or telephone calls for suspected gas leaks.

Direct Phone Communication for Plumbing Inquiries

When you suspect a concealed water leak behind a wall or under a floor, verbal communication is the most effective and accurate way to assess your building’s unique conditions. We do not use web contact forms, automated chatbots, or third-party call centers. Speaking directly with an experienced plumbing professional allows us to understand your building type, review immediate symptoms, and recommend the appropriate diagnostic approach without delay.

What to Expect When You Call

When you call (315) 202-8009, you will speak with a plumbing specialist who understands Manhattan apartment construction. During our discussion, we will:

  • Review visible signs of water intrusion (such as discoloration, damp drywall, or water sounds).
  • Help you determine whether the issue is an active emergency requiring immediate water shutoff or an intermittent seepage.
  • Clarify whether the moisture likely involves a private apartment line or a shared communal riser.
  • Explain the non-invasive acoustic and thermal leak detection process and schedule an on-site evaluation.

Helpful Information Callers Can Prepare

To help us understand your plumbing situation as quickly as possible, having the following information ready can be very helpful (please do not delay necessary safety actions to gather these details):

  1. Affected Rooms & Locations: Note exactly where water staining, damp plaster, or dripping is occurring (e.g., kitchen ceiling, bathroom partition, hallway floor).
  2. Leak Activity: Is water actively dripping right now, or does moisture appear intermittently (e.g., only after an upstairs shower or laundry cycle)?
  3. Timeline: When did you first observe moisture or paint bubbling? Has the stained area expanded over time?
  4. Visible Damage: Are walls soft to the touch, is paint peeling, or are hardwood planks warping?
  5. Shutoff Valve Access: Do you know where your apartment's branch shutoff valve or fixture stops are located? Are they accessible and operational?
  6. Equipment Details: If calling regarding heating or hot water, note the approximate age, make, and model of your boiler or water heater.

Steps for Limiting Water Damage When Safe

While awaiting a professional diagnostic visit, taking practical precautions can protect valuable flooring and prevent ceiling collapse:

  • Isolate Water if Safe: If water is visibly spraying from an accessible toilet supply or under-sink valve, turn the oval stop valve clockwise to shut off the flow.
  • Avoid Electrical Hazards: If water is dripping near light fixtures, ceiling fans, or electrical outlets, stay clear and switch off the corresponding circuit breaker at your panel.
  • Notify Building Management: In multi-family co-ops and rentals, alert the building superintendent immediately. Building staff can inspect neighboring units or manage shared riser valves.
  • Catch Drips: Place plastic bins or buckets beneath active drips, and use clean towels to prevent water from penetrating historic subflooring.
