Water Heater Removal
in Addison
A dead water heater is a sediment-heavy steel tank that can top 150 pounds. We drain it, carry it out of the basement, and recycle the metal.
The tank that has to come out
A water heater is manageable when it is new and empty, and a real problem once it is old and full. The sediment that collects over the years adds serious weight to the tank, and the unit usually sits in a tight spot ringed by pipes. Dragging it out alone tends to end in a sore back or a gouged door frame. We drain it down first, then carry it out level with the crew to do it safely.
Addison sits in DuPage along Lake Street and Army Trail Road, right where I-355 meets I-290, which makes it a quick run up. Wherever you are, a water heater will not go out with the regular curbside trash, since it is an appliance the weekly program leaves behind. We take care of it: we shut the supply, drain the tank, disconnect the visible lines, and recycle the steel.
Water heaters and tanks we take
Standard residential tanks
The usual 40 and 50 gallon heaters, drained and lifted out of the basement.
Gas heaters
Gas units carried out once the gas line is capped by your plumber or the gas company.
Electric heaters
Electric tanks removed after the wiring is disconnected at the panel.
Corroded, leaking tanks
Heaters that have rusted or begun to leak, drained and hauled before they give out.
Tankless units
Wall-mounted tankless heaters taken down once the connections come off.
Softeners and salt tanks
The water softener and brine tank beside the heater, cleared in the same visit.
How Addison water heater removal works
Text a photo of the heater and the way out, and we reply with a price by the load. The number holds, with nothing added later and no hourly clock. We shut the supply, drain the tank, and do the carrying, while you or your plumber handle any gas or hardwired connections. The metal goes to the recycler.
