Water Heater Removal
in Rolling Meadows
A spent water heater is a heavy, rusted steel tank that resists every stair. We drain it, carry it out, and recycle the metal.
The old tank nobody wants to lift
A water heater at the end of its service is a heavy, unwieldy thing, thanks to the sediment that collects in the bottom of the tank over the years. A full unit can run past 150 pounds and it usually sits wedged into a tight mechanical space. Hauling one out by yourself is how door frames get dented and backs get pulled. We drain it down first, then carry it out level with the crew, so your home stays clean.
Rolling Meadows sits along Algonquin Road right on the Route 53 corridor, which is the same route we take up via I-355. Here the city lists water heaters among the hardgoods it will take at the curb, but a heavy item like that runs as a paid special pickup with a fifty-dollar minimum. We handle the whole thing for one number instead: we shut the supply, drain the tank, disconnect the visible lines, and recycle the steel.
Water heaters and tanks we take
Standard tank heaters
Common 40 and 50 gallon units, drained down and carried out of the basement.
Gas water heaters
Gas tanks removed once the gas line is capped by your plumber or the gas company.
Electric water heaters
Electric units taken out after the wiring is disconnected at the panel.
Rusted, leaking tanks
Heaters that have corroded or begun to leak, drained and hauled before they fail.
Tankless heaters
Wall-mounted tankless units taken down once the connections are off.
Softeners and brine tanks
The water softener and salt tank next to the heater, cleared in the same trip.
How Rolling Meadows water heater removal works
