Water heater removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Water heater removal requires more than just yanking out a heavy appliance. Old water heaters in Memphis homes weigh 80-150 pounds and often contain sediment buildup, rust, and potentially hazardous materials. EvoNorth Junk Remova handles residential and commercial water heater removal across East Memphis, Midtown Memphis, Downtown Memphis, and neighborhoods like Hickory Hill, Raleigh, and Fraysor with expertise in both traditional tank units and newer tankless systems.

Our water heater removal process starts with a quick inspection to assess the unit's size, fuel type, and accessibility. We then safely disconnect gas or electric lines, drain any remaining water, and carefully remove the heater using proper lifting equipment. The unit is loaded into our truck and transported to an approved recycling facility or scrap metal processor. Most residential removals in the Memphis area complete within 1-2 hours, with full cleanup included.
