Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Taking care of unwanted boats in Mettawa demands experience, equipment, and a trusted boat removal team serving areas like Vernon Hills. Partially submerged boats require pumps, cranes, or heavy-duty trailers to remove. Professionals have the equipment and expertise to handle this without further sinking or spills. Strict Mettawa and Illinois disposal laws, towing challenges, and local codes can slow down the process of boat removal.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

Mettawa residents are discovering that an old, dilapidated boat past its prime isn’t easy to get off their hands. The large size and heavy weight of many boats are definitely a challenge while transporting through areas like Wright Woods. Our crews remove masts, strip the boat of its gear and electronics, and cut off the flybridge if necessary. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels in one piece, we manage the crushing or demolition so you don’t have to worry about it. We handle it all - you just relax.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Mettawa sits along the Des Plaines River corridor, and crews regularly field calls about waterlogged or abandoned vessels caught against the banks near Independence Grove. Seasonal flooding along Half Day Road can strand trailered boats on private lots, leaving owners unable to move them without professional rigging and heavy equipment rated for soft or saturated ground.

Owners on Hastings Lake often discover that aging pontoons and runabouts have deteriorated beyond legal operation and need full removal before the next inspection cycle. Boaters who stored vessels near Wright Woods find them overgrown and structurally compromised, while slips at Libertyville Municipal Marina change hands and require prior owners to surrender hulls quickly and with documented disposal paperwork.

Prompt, came out same day within a few hours of calling them. They were very careful while moving the junk. Friendly. Takes all forms of payment. I plan on calling them again. Mark and Christina came the next trip to remove more junk. They were very professional, quick, worked hard, and even swept the mess left from the junk on the garage floor.

This company is excellent! Removing this old 18 ft motor home was not an easy task. It had been sitting in the same spot for 26 years so needless to say it was literally falling apart and imbedded in the ground. The 2 men who removed it were so patient and professional taking care not to tear up the yard while doing so, not to mention it was one of our hottest days. They deserve 10 stars or more in my book!

The team did a wonderful job clearing out 2 of our office suites. Both suites contained about 40+ cubicles, 11 executives offices, at 3 conference rooms. It took about a week to get everything out of there but they were fair and always updated me throughout the day. They also sent pictures to make sure I knew they were filling the trailer up (they charge by the load).
