Water Heater Removal
in Wood Dale
A worn-out water heater is a heavy steel drum that fights every stair and doorway. We drain it, carry it out, and recycle the metal.
The old tank in the furnace room
A water heater on its way out is one of the heaviest things in the house, thanks to the sediment that builds up in the tank over the years. A full 40 or 50 gallon unit can clear 150 pounds, and it usually stands tucked into a tight furnace room with lines running overhead. That is not a one-person carry. We drain the tank down first, then walk it out with the hands to do it right, keeping the stairs and walls clean.
Wood Dale sits in DuPage along Irving Park Road near Salt Creek, with Route 390 and the west side of O'Hare close by, and we run up I-355 to reach it. White goods here are collected by appointment only, not with the regular refuse, so an old tank tends to sit. We handle the whole thing: we shut the supply, drain the heater, disconnect the visible plumbing, and recycle the steel.
