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 · Springfield, VA
Quick answer
LeMaster Plumber replaces water heaters all over Springfield, in Kings Park, Cardinal Forest, Saratoga and nearby Newington. The job looks different in a townhome than in a single-family house. One may have a tank in a small closet, the other in a basement or garage. We plan the swap around where yours sits and how we’ll get the old one out. Call (703) 832-9090 to schedule.
Springfield has established single-family homes and townhomes, many built from the 1960s through the ’80s. In the single-family homes, the heater is usually in the basement or garage. In the townhomes, it’s often in a utility closet on a main or upper floor. There, a leak can hit the rooms below, so we set the new tank in a drain pan. Older gas units may need a new vent connector or gas flex line to meet today’s code. Where a closet is tight, a tankless unit can free up floor space.
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.

Why LeMaster Plumber
You approve the price before we start — no surprises and no pressure. You’ll always know the cost before any work begins.
Every job is backed by proper training, the right permits, and a workmanship guarantee.
We show up on time, protect your space, and leave the job cleaner than we found it.
It takes more care on the stairs, but it’s routine. We add a drain pan so a future leak doesn’t reach the ceiling below.
Water pooling at the base, rusty hot water, or a tank older than about 8–12 years. A leak from the tank body means it’s time.
Sometimes. Older installs may need a new vent connector, gas line, or relief valve line. We tell you what’s needed before we start.
