Water Heater Removal
Your Loaders handle the heavy lifting and haul your old water heater away from wherever it sits, basement, garage, or utility closet included.
City bulk pickup programs move on their own schedule, and renting a truck still leaves you wrestling a 100-pound appliance. Your Loaders show up, do the work, and haul it away.

Your Loaders pick up from your basement, garage, utility closet, or wherever the unit sits. You do not need to move it to the curb first.
Old water heaters are largely metal. When local options allow, your Loaders route the unit to a scrap metal recycler rather than a landfill.
Your Loaders navigate basements, tight utility closets, and narrow stairwells to get the unit out safely, no matter where it ended up. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real customers so you know who to expect at your door.

No waiting on callbacksYour Loaders arrive, carry the unit out from wherever it sits, and haul it away. When local scrap recycling options are available, they put them to use.
No in-person chargesPricing is based on tank size, access location, and whether additional items are included in the same booking. A standard 40 to 50 gallon tank in an accessible garage or utility closet is straightforward. Larger 75 to 80 gallon units, or tanks located in tight basements or upper-floor closets, may affect your total, and any adjustments are shown clearly before you confirm.
Your water heater should be fully disconnected from its gas line, water supply, or electrical connection and drained of standing water before your Loaders arrive. Loaders do not perform plumbing, gas, or electrical disconnection work, so this preparation step is the customer's responsibility or should be handled by a licensed professional.
LoadUp picks up most residential water heater types regardless of fuel source or configuration.
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments such as stairs, additional appliances, or oversized tank configurations are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
Old water heaters are largely metal, and your Loaders prioritize routing them to scrap metal recyclers when local options are available. Actual disposal outcomes vary based on the condition of the unit and what recycling facilities are accessible in your area.

(678) 884-4738Water heater pickup typically starts around $140, though your final price depends on the size of the tank, whether you book curbside or in-home pickup, and whether you are including other items in the same booking. In-home pickup from a basement or upper-floor utility closet may affect the total compared to a ground-level curbside booking. Your full price is shown before you confirm, so there are no surprise charges at pickup.
Yes, your water heater needs to be fully disconnected from its gas line, water supply lines, or electrical connection before your Loaders arrive. Your Loaders do not perform plumbing, gas, or electrical disconnection work. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, a licensed plumber or technician can handle the disconnection before pickup day.
No, draining the tank is your responsibility before pickup. Even a drained tank is still heavy and awkward to carry, and an undrained one can exceed 100 pounds, which makes the job harder and messier for everyone. Drain the tank fully before your Loaders arrive so the removal goes smoothly.
Yes. Your Loaders are prepared to navigate stairs, tight utility closets, and basements to carry the unit out. You do not need to move the tank to the curb or to the main floor before they arrive. Book in-home pickup and your Loaders will go to wherever the unit is located.
Yes, your Loaders pick up gas, electric, and propane water heaters, as well as tankless units. The key requirement for all types is the same: the unit must be fully disconnected from its fuel or power source and drained of standing water before pickup.
It depends on the pickup type you book. If you book curbside pickup, you do not need to be home as long as the unit is placed in an accessible outdoor location before your Loaders arrive. If you book in-home pickup, someone must be present to provide access to the unit, since your Loaders will need to enter the home to carry it out.
