Sizing to your household
We size the new tank to how many people live there and how you use hot water, not just to the label on the old one.
Water Heater Replacement · Belle Haven, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters in Belle Haven, on the streets around the country club, near the GW Parkway and down toward New Alexandria. Some of these mid-century homes sit in low-lying spots near the river, so a basement water heater needs more thought. We can set the new tank on a raised stand with a drain pan to keep it clear of minor water. Call (703) 832-9090 to talk it through.
Belle Haven’s mid-century homes usually keep the water heater in the basement, often reached by a narrow stair. We plan the carry-out of the old tank and the carry-in of the new one, so nothing scrapes walls or trim. In the low spots near the Potomac, basements can take on water, and a tank on the floor gets the worst of it. A raised stand and a pan piped to a drain help. On gas units, we check the draft and the vent connection, since older flues can be worn. If space is very tight, a wall-hung tankless unit is worth a look.

Gas and electric tank water heaters installed with new connections, shutoffs and a fresh temperature-and-pressure relief valve.
On gas units we check the flue and draft so exhaust leaves the house. We fit expansion tanks and drain pans where the system or location calls for them.
Water heater replacement is permitted work. We pull the permit and handle the inspection so you do not have to.
