Water Heater Removal in Meridian, MS

When a water heater gives out and a new one goes in, you're left with a heavy old tank to deal with, often wedged into a closet, an attic, or a corner of the garage. Meridian Junk Removal hauls off old water heaters so the replaced unit doesn't sit around, carrying it out of the tight spot it's been living in and routing the metal to recyclers.

What we remove

• Standard tank water heaters, gas and electric
• Large-capacity and high-efficiency tanks
• Old tankless units being replaced
• Rusted, leaking, or failed heaters
• Spare tanks left behind in a garage or shed

Heavier than they look

An empty tank is manageable, but a water heater that hasn't been fully drained is deceptively heavy and full of sediment sloshing around inside. They're also usually installed in awkward, cramped locations, an attic platform, a hall closet, a tight utility nook, which makes getting one out a real job. We come ready for the weight and the angles, protecting your walls and floors on the way out.

How it works

The unit should already be disconnected from the water, gas, or electrical supply by you or your plumber before we arrive, since we handle hauling, not plumbing. Drain it ahead of time if you can. Then tell us where it sits and we'll give you a firm up-front price. We charge by the truck space it fills, with a minimum for a single unit, and we'll note any heavy-item consideration up front. Call or text (601) 202-5059 for your quote.

Recycle-first

Water heaters are largely steel, so they're a natural fit for recycling. We route old tanks to scrap and recycling channels rather than the East Mississippi landfill whenever possible, keeping all that metal in circulation.

Serving Meridian and Lauderdale County

We remove water heaters throughout Meridian and Lauderdale County, plus Marion, Collinsville, Bailey, and the wider Clarke, Kemper, and Newton county area. Attic, closet, or garage, we'll get the old tank out of your way.

Coordinate with your plumber

Water heater jobs go smoothest when the haul-away is lined up with the swap. If a plumber is installing your new unit, they can disconnect and often drain the old tank, leaving it ready for us to carry out the same day or shortly after. If you handled the replacement yourself, just make sure the water, gas, or power is disconnected and the tank is drained before we arrive, since we do the hauling, not the plumbing. Tell us where the old unit sits, an attic, a closet, a garage corner, when you call (601) 202-5059, and we'll plan the carry-out around the tight space.
