Full-scope gas line services
Every Gas Line Service We Provide in DC & Maryland
From a single appliance connection to complete gas piping replacement — residential and commercial.
Gas Leak Detection
If you detect the smell of gas, hear a hissing sound near a gas line, or suspect a leak from appliance connections, we locate the source using calibrated leak detection equipment and repair it. Every repair is pressure-tested before gas service is restored.
Schedule service →Gas Line Repair
Corroded fittings, damaged pipe sections, loose connections, and failed shut-off valves are all common sources of gas line problems in older DC and Maryland homes. We repair or replace the affected section, restore the line, and test the full system before closing out the job.
Schedule service →Gas Line Replacement
When existing gas piping is too old, undersized, or extensively corroded to repair safely, full replacement is the right solution. We replace old steel or iron pipe with properly sized, code-compliant materials, routed cleanly and pressure-tested before reconnection.
Schedule service →Stove & Range Gas Hookup
Switching from electric to gas cooking, or replacing an existing gas range? We run the branch line to your appliance location if one doesn't exist, install the appropriate shut-off valve, make the final connection, and verify the appliance operates safely before finishing.
Schedule service →Dryer Gas Hookup
Installing a gas dryer where only electric existed before requires a new gas line branch to the laundry area. We run the supply line, install the shut-off valve, connect the dryer, and confirm proper venting while we're there — gas dryers require correct exhaust venting for safe operation.
Schedule service →Water Heater Gas Connection
Water heater replacements require a properly sized gas connection and a working shut-off valve. We handle the gas line side of water heater installations — new connections, line sizing for high-efficiency units, and shut-off valve replacement when the existing valve is aged or corroded.
Schedule service →Commercial Gas Line Services
We serve restaurants, office buildings, multi-unit properties, and commercial kitchens in the DC Metro area. Commercial gas work includes new piping installation, repairs, appliance hookups for commercial cooking equipment, and pre-inspection compliance work.
Schedule service →Code-Compliant Gas Piping
Renovations, additions, or appliance upgrades often require new gas piping runs. We design and install gas piping to DC and Maryland code — correct pipe sizing, proper materials, bonding, and placement. We handle permit coordination for applicable jobs.
Schedule service →Shut-Off Valves & Flexible Connectors
Aging shut-off valves can seize or develop slow leaks over time. Flexible gas connectors have a recommended service life and should be replaced when corroded, kinked, or past their useful age. We replace valves and connectors as standalone jobs or as part of a larger appliance replacement project.
Schedule service →Gas safety awareness
Warning Signs That Mean Call a Gas Plumber
Some gas issues announce themselves clearly. Others are easy to miss or dismiss. These are the signs that warrant a professional inspection — don't wait to see if they go away on their own.
Sulfur or Rotten Egg Odor
Natural gas is odorless by nature — utilities add mercaptan specifically so you can detect it. That distinctive rotten egg or sulfur smell is not something to investigate slowly. If it's strong or sudden: leave and call your gas utility's emergency line immediately. If it's faint or intermittent, call us during business hours for an inspection.
Hissing or Whistling Near a Gas Line
A hissing sound near a gas meter, pipe, or appliance connection typically indicates gas escaping under pressure. Even a small hiss near a connection point warrants a professional inspection — the leak can be at a fitting, valve, or connector that looks intact from the outside.
Dead or Dying Vegetation Above Ground
A suspicious dead patch of grass or dying plants above where a buried gas line runs can indicate an underground leak. Gas displaces oxygen in the soil, killing roots from below. This sign is often missed until the odor becomes detectable above grade.
Pilot Light That Won't Stay Lit
A pilot light that repeatedly goes out — especially after you've confirmed the thermocouple is functional — can signal inconsistent gas pressure or a supply issue. An inspection of the supply line and shut-off valve is worthwhile if the problem recurs.
Corroded or Aging Appliance Connections
Flexible gas connectors behind ranges, dryers, and water heaters have a useful service life — typically around 20 years. Corroded, kinked, or brittle connectors are a slow-building risk that doesn't always smell or make noise until a connection fails. If your appliances are old and the connectors have never been replaced, an inspection is reasonable preventive care.
Unexplained Rise in Gas Bills
A significant, sustained increase in your gas bill without a change in usage habits or weather conditions can indicate gas escaping from a supply line before it reaches your appliances. Combined with any other sign on this list, it warrants a professional check.
If You Suspect an Active Gas Leak Right Now
1Leave the building immediately — don't stop to gather belongings
2Do not turn lights, switches, or electronics on or off
3Call Washington Gas / your utility's emergency line from outside the building
4Once the utility has cleared the scene, call us during business hours for licensed leak location and repair

FAQ
Gas Line Questions DC & Maryland Clients Ask
How do I know if I have a gas leak at home?
The most common signs are a sulfur or rotten egg odor, a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance connection, a dead patch of vegetation above a buried gas line, or a pilot light that won't stay lit. If the smell is strong or sudden, leave the building and contact your gas utility's emergency line. For faint or intermittent signs, call us during business hours for an inspection.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in Washington DC?
Yes — gas line installations and major repairs in DC and Maryland require permits and must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. DC Metro Plumbing handles permit coordination for applicable jobs and ensures all work meets DC and Maryland code requirements before the job is completed.
Can you install a gas line for a new stove or gas dryer?
Yes. We install gas supply lines for ranges, cooktops, dryers, and other appliances. If no gas supply currently exists at the location, we run a new branch line from the nearest appropriate connection point, install a dedicated shut-off valve, and make the final connection to the appliance. All work is pressure-tested before we leave.
What is a gas line pressure test and why does it matter?
A pressure test confirms that a gas line holds pressure without any loss — verifying there are no leaks. We pressurize the line, isolate sections, and monitor the gauge. Any pressure drop indicates a leak that must be located and repaired before gas is restored. We run a pressure test on every gas job — it's not optional.
Can DC Metro Plumbing handle commercial gas line work?
Yes. We serve restaurants, office buildings, and multi-unit properties throughout DC, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County. Commercial gas services include new piping installation, line repairs, appliance hookups for commercial cooking equipment, and code-compliance work ahead of inspections.
How long does a gas line installation or hookup typically take?
A single appliance hookup where a gas supply line already exists at the location typically takes 1–2 hours including the pressure test. Running a new branch line from an existing supply adds time depending on the distance and routing. Full gas line replacements are larger jobs scheduled based on scope. We give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job.
