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 · North Springfield, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters in North Springfield, from Ravensworth and Edsall Park to the homes around Heritage. Most houses here date to the 1950s and ’60s, so the swap often means more than a new tank. We check the old flue, the gas line and the aging supply connections at the heater, and fix what the new unit needs to run safely. Call (703) 832-9090 and we’ll get your hot water back.
In North Springfield’s 1950s and ’60s homes, the water heater usually sits in the basement near the furnace. Many share an old chimney flue. If the furnace was replaced with a high-efficiency model, the heater may now vent alone into a flue that’s too big, and that can cause poor draft. We check this on every gas swap. Older galvanized nipples at the heater are often corroded, so we replace them with new connections. We also add an expansion tank when the home needs one. If the basement is finished, a drain pan under the new tank helps protect the floor.
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.
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.
We drain and remove the old tank and take it with us. You are left with a working heater and a clean space.
If you keep running out of hot water or need the floor space, we will walk through whether a tankless unit fits your home.
We check its age, the leak or failure, the fuel type, the venting and the space, and confirm replacement is the right call.
You get the unit, the scope and the price before anything starts. You approve it first.
We shut off and drain the old tank, remove it, and install the new one with new connections, valves and venting to code.
We fill and fire the new heater, check for leaks, set the temperature, and haul the old unit away.
Every water heater replacement is quoted upfront once we have seen the old unit and the space. The price covers the unit, the install, the permit and haul-away. You approve it before any work starts.

Yes. Fairfax County requires a permit even for a like-for-like swap. We pull it and handle the inspection, so you don’t have to call the county.
That’s common in homes of this age. We replace the corroded fittings right at the heater with new connections, so the new tank isn’t tied to rusty pipe.
A basic tank swap takes a few hours. Venting fixes or new connections can add some time. We tell you what to expect before we start.
