Tub removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee
Bathtub removal is more than just hauling away old porcelain or acrylic-it requires proper disconnection of plumbing lines, careful extraction to avoid water damage to surrounding walls and flooring, and safe disposal of heavy materials that often weigh 300-500 pounds. EvoNorth Junk Remova has removed hundreds of tubs from Memphis homes in Midtown, Downtown, East Memphis, and suburban communities like Bartlett and Lakeland. Whether your tub is cast iron from a 1970s renovation or a modern whirlpool model, we arrive with the right equipment, disconnect water and drain lines safely, and haul the entire unit away the same day.
Our tub removal process starts with a free on-site or phone estimate based on tub material, accessibility, and whether plumbing work is needed. Once scheduled, our crew arrives with dollies, straps, and protective coverings to prevent damage to your bathroom tile, fixtures, and flooring. We disconnect cold and hot water supply lines, remove the drain assembly, carefully extract the tub unit, and haul all materials to our staging area for recycling or proper disposal. Final cleanup includes sweeping and disposal of any debris, leaving your bathroom ready for new fixture installation-typically completed within 2-4 hours for standard residential tubs.
