Many Springfield split level homes have gas water heaters that struggle to ignite because airflow and exhaust are restricted. Long vent runs, tight utility rooms, and clogged intake screens stop the burner from lighting. I explain why this happens and how I restore safe, reliable ignition for Springfield homeowners.

Fairfax homeowners in older neighborhoods are seeing more gas water heater pilot light failures. As tanks age, sediment buildup, weak flames, and failing thermocouples cause shutdowns and safety issues. I explain what to watch for, when you should repair, and when it is time to replace your system.
