Water Heater Removal on Jekyll Island, GA

If it’s still connected, licensed plumbing or gas work is normally handled by you or a licensed pro; we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it. Once it’s disconnected, we drain the tank to a hose run and carry it out with the hands the job needs; if it’s an eighty-gallon tank or a hard carry, that can mean extra hands.

A tankless unit comes off the wall and leaves with us, and the wall plumbing stays in place.

When licensed electrical or plumbing work is needed, that’s normally handled by you or a licensed pro. Show us what you have and where it is, and we’ll help figure out what’s needed and work around it. A leaking unit is fine too; mention it with your photos and we’ll plan around it.

Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

In managed rentals, a water heater swap can land between guests, with the plumber putting in the new unit and the old one left for somebody else to deal with. A property manager can send us a photo of where it’s sitting and the window we have, and we get it out inside that window.

An older house near Shell Road in the historic district may have its heater tucked into a tight utility closet, while a house up by North Beach might keep it in the garage. Both are ordinary carries once we know which, and the photos tell us how many hands to bring.

From your side it should feel like any other job. The one real difference is the round trip: the old tank comes back across the bridge with us rather than staying anywhere on the island, and that drive is in the quote from the start.

A water heater is mostly steel, so it usually goes to scrap-metal recycling, like the other metal appliances we haul, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.

We figure out the right destination based on the unit and its condition, so there’s nothing for you to sort out.

Any expansion tank or fittings that came out with it go on the same load, sorted by what they are.
