Old Water Heater Left Behind After a St. Simons Replacement?
Same-Day Water Heater Removal on St. Simons Often Available — Call or Text
Yes, we take water heaters of every kind: forty- and fifty-gallon tanks, the big eighty-gallon models, wall-mounted tankless units, hybrid heat-pump heaters, and the expansion tanks and fittings that come off with them. They’re bulky, awkward and heavier than they look, particularly once sediment has built up inside.
What we handle
What the job involves
A standard fifty-gallon tank weighs around a hundred and fifty pounds on its own, so it goes out on a dolly with the hands the job needs; if it’s an eighty-gallon tank or an awkward carry from a lower level, that can mean extra hands. Tankless heaters are a different shape of job — wall-mounted and lighter.
A photo of the heater and what’s attached to it shows us what’s there. 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.
Send us a few photos and tell us what you need removed. We’ll take it from there.

St. Simons Island
Water heaters in island homes
Sometimes the job starts after the plumber leaves: the new heater is in, and the old tank stands in the garage or beside the driveway. That might be a Fifty Oaks house or one over in Butler Plantation. A photo of it where it was left is all we need.
When the old unit is still inside — a utility closet, an upstairs laundry, the back corner of a garage — the route out matters as much as the tank. In the bigger, older homes off Sea Island Road and up the north half of the island, we pay attention to what we’re carrying past: finished floors, door frames, stair treads. People on this island notice whether a crew leaves the place clean, and a utility room is no exception. If the tank is leaking, mention it with your photos and we’ll plan around it.
Plumbers book their days tightly, and so do we. If you want the old tank gone the afternoon the new one goes in, give us the plumber’s window. Causeway traffic is the thing that moves around on the island, most of all on summer weekends, and that drive is built into the plan and the price from the start.
Pricing
What changes the price
Size, type and the route out. A standard tank waiting in the garage is the light end; a big tank coming up from a lower level or out of a cramped closet is heavier work. A tankless unit usually lands close to a standard tank job, and on the island the carry from the door to the truck counts too.
Firm price from your photos, confirmed before anything is loaded. The minimum for any pickup is $95. We don’t charge extra for same-day pickup when we have an open time slot.
After the pickup
Where the old heater goes
We figure out the right destination for each unit. A water heater is mostly steel, so it usually ends up in scrap-metal recycling, often at SA Recycling in Brunswick.
It travels straight off the island to Brunswick, and anything else on the load is sorted by what it’s made of.
