How it goes

Plumbers replace the water heater and leave the old one by the garage door because hauling it isn't their job.

It's ours. One tank is a minimum-load pickup, usually done in fifteen minutes, and it goes to scrap recycling rather than the transfer station.

Common questions

Hot Water Heater Removal questions, answered.

How much does water heater removal cost?

A single tank is the minimum load, $125. If it's already outside and we're nearby, ask about adding it to a route day for less.

Does it need to be drained?

Yes, or mostly. If the plumber didn't drain it, we can, it just adds a few minutes.

Can you take it from the attic?

Yes. Attic water heaters are common in Charlotte and we've done plenty. Tell us so we bring straps.

What happens to it?

Scrap metal recycling. The tank is mostly steel.

Can you do it the same day as the plumber?

Often, if you call in the morning.
