Water Heater Removal
in Itasca
An old water heater is a rusted steel tank packed with sediment, usually stuck in a tight basement spot. We drain it, carry it out, and recycle the metal.
The tank that is harder to move than it looks
A water heater at the end of its life is a genuine two-person lift. Years of sediment collect in the bottom of the tank, which can push a 40 or 50 gallon unit past 150 pounds, and the heater almost always sits crowded by pipes and the furnace. Hauling one out alone is a quick way to strain something or scuff a wall. We drain it down first, then carry it out level so your home stays unmarked.
Itasca sits in DuPage near Irving Park Road and Salt Creek, with Route 390 running close by, and we reach it up I-355. Appliances here are kept out of the residential waste stream and must be set up as a separate special pickup, so an old tank rarely leaves on its own. We take the whole job: we shut the supply, drain the heater, disconnect the visible plumbing, and recycle the steel.

How Itasca water heater removal works
Send a photo of the heater and the path to the door, 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 handle any gas or hardwired electrical. The steel goes to the recycler.
