Heavy tank-style water heater pickup after safe disconnection and draining.

Old Water Heater Pickup and Haul-Away
Tank-style water heaters are heavy, awkward, and difficult to dispose of after replacement. Once the unit has been disconnected and drained, Kick It can carry it out, load it, and haul it away.
We pick up water heaters from garages, utility rooms, accessible closets, commercial properties, and renovation sites throughout our service area.
- Traditional tank water heaters
- Gas and electric units after disconnection
- Units removed during replacement or renovation
- Residential and accessible commercial pickups
- Metal recycling prioritized whenever possible

What to Do Before Water Heater Removal
For a safe pickup, the water heater must be fully disconnected from gas or electricity, detached from water lines, and drained before our crew arrives. If it sits in an attic, tight closet, or other difficult location, send us photos so we can assess access in advance.
- Disconnect the unit from gas or electricity and water lines
- Drain the tank completely
- Clear a safe path to the nearest exit
- Tell us about stairs, attic access, or narrow doors
- Keep replacement materials separate from removal debris

Commercial and Oversized Water Heater Removal
Some commercial water heaters and metal storage tanks are far larger than a standard residential unit. They may sit in mechanical rooms with no doorway large enough to remove the tank intact. Those jobs require careful planning around the tank’s dimensions, weight, access route, nearby equipment, and the building itself.
Paul’s ironworking background gives our crew practical experience with torches, heavy steel, and controlled metal cutting. After the tank has been disconnected and completely drained, we can assess whether it can be carried out whole or needs a planned cut-down for safe removal through the available opening.
- Commercial-size water heaters and metal tanks
- Mechanical rooms with restricted doorway access
- On-site assessment before cutting or removal
- Controlled sectioning of disconnected, drained metal tanks when appropriate
- Loading, hauling, and metal recycling prioritized
- Certificate of insurance (COI) available upon request
