Gas line work is not a place to cut corners, and it's not a DIY job. Whether it's connecting a new range, running a line to an outdoor grill or fire pit, or repairing a suspected leak, we handle it to code and coordinate with Washington Gas, the utility serving this area, where required.
If you smell gas, that's the one call that doesn't wait: leave the house, don't operate any switches, and call from outside.

Washington Gas serves Woodbridge and the broader Prince William County area, and any new gas line work or line relocation in the county has to meet the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code alongside the utility's own connection requirements. We coordinate directly with Washington Gas on new service connections or meter-adjacent work so nothing falls through the cracks between the utility and the plumbing side of the job.
A lot of our gas line calls in Woodbridge come from kitchen renovations where a range is moving to a new location, or from homeowners adding an outdoor kitchen or fire feature, both common upgrades as the area's older housing stock gets modernized.
Virginia's Uniform Statewide Building Code adopts the International Fuel Gas Code as its baseline for sizing and installation requirements, and Washington Gas has its own connection standards on top of that for anything touching the meter or service line. We work to both sets of requirements rather than treating either as optional.
Signs of a gas line problem.
- ✓Smell of rotten eggs or sulfur near an appliance
Leave the house immediately, don't operate switches or lighters, and call from outside. - ✓Hissing sound near a gas line or appliance connection
Another sign of a possible leak that warrants immediate attention. - ✓Dead or discolored vegetation over a buried gas line's path
Can indicate an underground leak affecting the soil. - ✓Pilot light that won't stay lit despite a good thermocouple
Sometimes points to a gas supply or pressure issue further upstream.
How we handle it
For a suspected leak, our first priority is safety: locating and isolating the leak, then making the repair to code. For new installations, whether that's a range hookup, an outdoor grill line, or extending service to a new addition, we size the line correctly for the appliance's demand and coordinate with Washington Gas on any utility-side requirements.
All gas work is pressure tested before we consider the job complete, and we pull permits where the scope requires it under the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
Every gas line job gets pressure tested before we consider it complete, using the same standard the utility itself relies on, and we don't turn gas service back on to an appliance until that test confirms there's no leak anywhere in the new or repaired section.
A gas line technician on our team carries the specific certifications Virginia requires for this kind of work, distinct from general plumbing licensure, and we can provide that documentation on request before any gas work begins, not just after it's finished.
We pressure test with an inert gas rather than the live fuel supply during the test itself, which is standard safety practice and lets us confirm the line holds pressure without any risk of ignition during the testing process itself.
