If someone smells gas or suspects a gas leak, tell them to leave the building immediately. Do not attempt to investigate the gas leak yourself. Call the appropriate gas utility emergency service or 911 from a safe location outside the building.

To help us understand your situation and dispatch the correct technician, please try to gather the following details before you dial. If you cannot safely access this information, do not worry—just call and explain what you are experiencing.
- Building Type: Let us know if you are calling from a pre-war walk-up, a modern condo, a co-op, or a commercial space in East Harlem.
- Nature of the Problem: Specify if you need leak detection for a mysterious ceiling stain, an active pipe leak repair, or diagnostics for a boiler that won't fire.
- Location of the Issue: Tell us exactly where the water is appearing or where the equipment is located (e.g., basement mechanical room, third-floor bathroom).
- Equipment Details: If calling about a water heater or boiler, note the manufacturer and approximate age if you can safely see the rating plate.
- Shut-off Valve Location: If you have an active flood, try to locate the main water shut-off valve so you can secure the water while we are on our way.
- Photos: If you are calling from a smartphone, we may ask you to text a picture of the water stain, the broken pipe, or the boiler's sight glass to assist with our preliminary assessment.
