Haul Away That Old Water Heater

A water heater is one of those appliances you never think about until it fails — and once you've replaced it, you're left with a heavy, waterlogged old tank that needs to go somewhere. They're commonly tucked into cramped closets, garage corners, crawl spaces, or attics, and a standard tank can weigh well over a hundred pounds even after it's drained. Our water heater removal service in Florence, South Carolina and the Pee Dee takes the old unit off your hands so it's not sitting in the garage indefinitely.

We work alongside homeowners who've done their own swap and need the old one gone, plus landlords, property managers, and anyone clearing a home. If your plumber left the old tank behind, or you simply need it out from an awkward spot, we'll carry it out and haul it away.

Water Heaters We Remove

We take every type of water heater, including:

Whether it's a compact electric unit in a hall closet or a big tank in the garage, we've got the crew to wrestle it out of tight quarters.

How Water Heater Removal Is Priced

Pricing is by volume — the space the unit takes in the truck — with a single water heater typically a minimum or small-load charge. Access matters too: a tank in a tight closet, up in an attic, or down in a crawl space takes more labor to get out than one sitting in an open garage. There's no freon involved with water heaters, so no special disposal fee — just the space and the labor. We give you a firm number on arrival before we start.

Metal Recovered, Not Landfilled

A water heater is essentially a big steel tank, and steel is one of the most-recycled materials there is. Old units go to scrap recyclers where the metal is recovered and put back to use, keeping a bulky, heavy item out of the landfill. It's a straightforward, responsible end for an appliance that's reached the end of its life. If any water remains in the tank, our crew drains it before the carry-out so there's no mess left behind.

A Common Job for Homeowners and Landlords

Water heaters have a limited lifespan, so replacements are routine — and every replacement leaves an old tank that has to go somewhere. Homeowners who hired a plumber often find the old unit left in the garage or on the porch, since not every installer hauls the old one away. DIYers who swapped their own tank have the new one running but the old one in the way. And landlords and property managers around Florence deal with water-heater replacements across multiple units and need the old tanks cleared out. In all of these cases, we're the easy last step.

Where We Get Them From

Serving Florence and the Pee Dee

We remove water heaters across Florence and nearby communities — Effingham, Quinby, Timmonsville, Darlington, Hartsville, Lake City, and Marion — usually the same or next day. Send a photo and note where the tank sits, and we'll quote it up front.

What to Expect

As long as the tank is disconnected from its water, power, or gas supply, the rest is on us. The crew drains any remaining water, wrestles the unit out of its tight spot, and gives you a firm, up-front price before the carry-out — factoring in the tank size and how hard it is to reach. You get one clear number with no hourly charges.

Honest, Local Service

No surprises and no obligation: the price you hear is the price you pay, and the old tank heads to scrap recycling rather than the landfill. It's straightforward, locally focused hauling, usually same or next day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to disconnect the water heater first?

The unit should be disconnected from the water, power, or gas supply before removal — usually done by whoever installed the new one. If it's disconnected and drained, we handle the rest of the haul-out.

Can you get a water heater out of the attic or a crawl space?

Yes. Tight and awkward locations like attics, closets, and crawl spaces are common for water heaters, and getting them out is exactly what our crew does. Access factors into the up-front price.

Is there a special disposal fee for water heaters?

No. Water heaters don't contain refrigerant, so there's no freon fee — the price is based on the space the tank takes in the truck and the labor to remove it.

What happens to the old tank?

It's essentially a steel tank, so it goes to scrap recyclers where the metal is recovered and reused rather than sent to the landfill.
