An old water heater is one of those items that lingers, too heavy to easily move, too metal to just throw out, and usually wedged into a basement corner or a cramped utility closet. Our water heater removal service in Terre Haute takes the retired tank off your hands, carrying it out and routing the metal to recyclers.

What we take

Any style of tank, gas or electric, working or dead.

How water heater removal works

Let us know the type and roughly where the tank sits, or text a photo, when you call, and we will give you a firm, up-front flat quote. A water heater takes a predictable amount of truck space, so pricing is simple. Our crew handles the lifting and the tight-space maneuvering. If the unit still has water in it, it should be drained before we haul it, so let us know its status and we will plan the pickup around it.

Already replaced, or planning to

Most water heater removals happen right after a plumber installs the new unit and leaves the old one behind. We are happy to swing by and clear the old tank on your schedule, so it is not sitting in the garage for months. If you are doing the swap yourself, just have the old unit drained and disconnected before we arrive.

Recycling the steel

Water heaters are mostly steel with other recoverable metals inside, which makes them a natural fit for scrap recycling. Instead of hauling all that metal to a landfill, we route retired tanks to recyclers around the Wabash Valley whenever possible.

Serving Terre Haute and the surrounding counties

We remove water heaters throughout Terre Haute and across Vigo, Clay, Sullivan, and Parke counties. From a basement utility room to a closet in a rental, we will get the old tank out and gone.

Old tanks do not belong in the garage

Once a new water heater is in, the old tank tends to get shoved into a garage corner or left standing beside the furnace, too heavy and awkward to deal with, so it lingers for months. We clear it out on your schedule so it is not one more thing taking up space. If a whole utility area is being redone, we can grab the old softener, expansion tank, and related hardware in the same visit and leave the room ready for the new setup. Whatever the situation, you get a firm flat quote before we haul a thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you disconnect the water heater?

We haul out tanks that are already drained and disconnected. If yours is still hooked up, a plumber should disconnect it first, or your installer can leave the old one out for us.

Should the tank be drained first?

Yes. A drained tank keeps the removal clean and safe. Let us know the unit's status when you call and we will plan the pickup accordingly.

Do you recycle old water heaters?

We do. Water heaters are mostly steel and other metals, so we route them to recyclers whenever possible rather than the landfill.

How much does removal cost?

A water heater takes a predictable amount of truck space, so the flat quote is simple. Call or text (812) 803-2110 for your exact up-front price.
