Water Heater Removal
in Arlington Heights
A dead water heater is a steel tank heavy with sediment and stuck in a tight basement. We drain it, carry it out, and recycle the metal.
The tank that is hard to move alone
A water heater is one of the heaviest single items in a house once it has aged out. Sediment collects in the bottom of the tank and drives the weight past 150 pounds, and the unit is almost always boxed in by the furnace and a tangle of pipes. Working one out solo risks a strained back and a gouged wall. Our crew drains the tank down first, then carries it out level, leaving your basement and stairs unmarked.
Arlington Heights runs along the Route 53 corridor near Northwest Highway and the old Arlington Park grounds, and we reach it straight up I-355 and Route 53. The curbside program here lists hot water tanks among the white goods it will collect, but only once a week and only if you schedule it, so an old tank tends to sit. We take the whole job on instead: we shut the supply, drain the heater, disconnect the visible plumbing, and recycle the steel.
Water heaters and tanks we take
40 and 50 gallon tanks
The standard residential heaters, drained down and lifted out of the basement.
Gas water heaters
Gas units removed once the gas line has been capped by your plumber or the gas company.
Electric water heaters
Electric tanks taken out after the wiring is safely disconnected.
Leaking or rusted tanks
Heaters that have corroded or begun to leak, drained and hauled before they give out.
Tankless units
Wall-hung tankless heaters taken down once the connections are off.
Softeners and salt tanks
The water softener and brine tank next to the heater, cleared in the same visit.
How Arlington Heights water heater removal works
Send a photo of the heater and the path out, and we return a price by the load. That number is what you pay, with nothing added later and no hourly billing. We shut the supply, drain the tank, and do the carrying, while you or your plumber take care of any gas or hardwired electrical. The steel goes to the recycler.
