Emergency Gas Leak Service in Yonkers

SAFETY PROTOCOL: What To Do If You Smell Gas

 

If you smell gas in your home, take these steps immediately:

​

1. Evacuate everyone — Leave the house right now. Don't wait to investigate or search for the source.

​

2. Don't use electricity or phones inside — Avoid light switches, appliances, and phones within the home. Even a spark can ignite gas.

​

3. Call 911 and Con Edison — From outside the home, call 911 first, then call Con Edison gas emergency line. They serve Yonkers and can assess the situation and shut off your gas at the meter if needed.

​

4. Call a licensed plumber — Once authorities have cleared the area, contact Pro Boyz for emergency gas line repair. We're available 24/7.

 

Gas is odorless naturally. The rotten egg smell you notice is mercaptan, added by the utility so leaks are detectable. If you smell this distinctive odor, treat it as a genuine emergency.

 

Why Gas Emergencies Require Professionals

 

A gas leak isn't something to troubleshoot yourself. Gas line work demands a licensed plumber who understands pressure systems, shut-off valves, and safety codes. Small leaks can grow quickly, and improper repair creates dangerous conditions. Pro Boyz has been serving Yonkers since 2008 with licensed, insured technicians trained in emergency gas service. We arrive 24/7 to handle the repair after utility responders have secured the scene.

 

What We Handle in Gas Emergencies

 

Leak Detection

If Con Edison suspects a leak but the source isn't obvious, we use specialized equipment to pinpoint the exact location along your gas line, whether it's at the meter, inside walls, or underground.

 

Emergency Line Shutoff

If the utility shuts off your gas at the meter but your internal line needs isolation, we safely shut off the valve closest to the problem. This protects the rest of your system while we prepare for repair.

 

Emergency Line Repair

Damaged copper, steel, or corroded fittings require replacement. We remove the compromised section and install new line with proper pressure testing and inspection-ready workmanship.

Common Questions About Gas Emergencies

 

I smell gas — what do I do first?

Get everyone out of the house immediately. Don't flip switches or use phones inside. Once outside, call 911 and Con Edison from a safe location away from the building. Con Edison handles the initial assessment and utility-side shutoff. After they've cleared the scene, call Pro Boyz for professional repair of your home's internal gas line.

 

How do you find a gas leak?

We use electronic leak detectors that identify mercaptan traces in the air, plus pressure testing to confirm gas flow patterns. For buried lines or wall-concealed sections, we may use thermal imaging or careful inspection of exposed joints and fittings. The goal is fast, accurate identification so repair can begin without delay.
