Water Heater Removal
in Palatine
A worn-out water heater is a heavy steel tank that curbside will not take. We drain it, carry it up and out, and recycle the metal.
The old tank that has to go
A water heater that has given up is far heavier than it was the day it went in, because sediment settles and hardens inside the tank over the years. A full 40 or 50 gallon unit can top 150 pounds, and it usually stands crowded into a tight corner with the furnace and pipes around it. That is a genuine two-person job. We drain it down first, then carry it out level with the crew, so your trim and stairwell stay clean.
Palatine sits along Route 53 and Northwest Highway near Deer Grove Forest Preserve, and Route 53 is the very road we take up via I-355. Appliances and white goods here are kept out of the regular refuse entirely and are even barred from the spring clean-up week, so a water heater is never a curbside item. We handle it the right way: we shut the supply, drain the tank, disconnect the visible lines, and recycle the steel.
