Water Heater Removal
Quick, safe water heater removal and certified recycling
How Our Water Heater Removal Services Work
Old water heaters are bulky, heavy, and often awkward to move. Island Junk Solutions makes the process easy by handling the disconnecting, lifting, and hauling for you. Whether it’s a standard tank or a larger commercial unit, we’ll safely remove it from your home or business and ensure it’s disposed of responsibly.
Safe Removal and Transport
Our trained crew uses the right equipment to navigate tight spaces and protect floors, walls, and doorways during removal. We can drain the tank if it’s still holding water, and will remove it directly from your utility room, garage, or basement — no need to move it yourself.
Responsible Recycling and Disposal
Water heaters contain metal, insulation, and sometimes hazardous components that require proper disposal. We take your old unit to certified recycling facilities, where usable materials are reclaimed and anything hazardous or controlled is processed according to CRD and municipal guidelines. Working units are donated to local organizations whenever possible, keeping them out of the landfill.
