Complete Medical Gas Solutions for Washington, D.C. Healthcare Facilities

We’re a one-stop shop for medical gas services, designed specifically for the needs of Washington, D.C. healthcare facilities. That means we handle every stage of your system’s lifecycle – from initial design and construction to routine inspections, repairs, and ongoing compliance support. Our technicians are ASSE-certified, highly experienced, and understand the critical nature of these systems in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and surgical centers. Every healthcare facility is different, so we tailor our services accordingly. Whether you’re expanding a hospital wing or maintaining aging vacuum lines in a clinic, we have the expertise to handle it all as your single-source partner.

Here’s what we offer:

• Design & Installation: We plan and install new piped medical gas systems (or upgrade existing ones) based on your facility’s needs and local code requirements. Our installers are ASSE 6010-certified and follow proper NFPA 99 brazing, layout, and labeling procedures, ensuring everything is done right the first time so you’re inspection-ready and patient-safe.

   

• Inspections & Preventive Maintenance: We perform scheduled NFPA 99 inspections of all gas outlets, alarms, shutoff valves, and pipeline integrity to meet code standards. If we find an issue like a minor leak or pressure drop, we fix it on the spot when possible to prevent downtime. We also provide detailed reports and recommendations for any required fixes, helping you stay ahead of problems and compliant with all standards.

   

• Repairs & Emergency Support: System failures or leaks can’t wait. Our D.C. team is on call 24/7 to handle emergency issues like pipeline leaks, faulty valves, or alarm malfunctions. We respond quickly with the right parts on hand and can even set up a temporary gas supply during repairs so your operations stay uninterrupted.

   

• Verification & Compliance Testing: Every new or modified gas system must be verified by a certified professional per NFPA 99 before use. Our ASSE 6030-certified verifiers test alarm functionality, gas identity/purity, leak tightness, and pressure performance to ensure the system is safe and code-compliant prior to patient use. We provide full documentation for Joint Commission surveys and District licensing inspections, giving you peace of mind that your system will pass any review.

   

We also assist with additional needs – from system upgrades and zone valve retrofits to NFPA 99 risk assessments – anything your facility requires to stay compliant and efficient. If it involves your facility’s piped gas system, we’ve got it covered.

NFPA 99 Compliance in Washington, D.C. Medical Facilities

In Washington, D.C., NFPA 99 is the governing standard for medical gas systems – and we make it easy for your facility to comply.
