Facing Issues with an Old, Deteriorated, or Abandoned Boat

Safe and reliable boat removal in Union depends on our skilled crews with the right tools. Deteriorated boats with sharp edges, mold, or unstable structures can cause serious injuries along routes like Highway 57. Marine professionals use proper tools and lifting methods to remove them safely. Union and Iowa regulatory requirements, towing issues, and disposal steps often delay schedules.

Safe and Responsible Boat Disposal

What seems like a quick fix, getting rid of an old boat in Union, can become complicated. There is always a risk of spills into waterways like Otter Creek or streets from fuel while transporting. Our AAA Rousse Team will take down the masts, remove all gear and electronics, and, when necessary, detach the flybridge. Because landfills don’t accept most large vessels as-is, we handle the crushing or demolition when needed. Let us do the heavy lifting - AAA Rousse has it handled.

Common Boat Removal Scenarios

Boat removal calls in this area often start at the Iowa River, where aging fishing boats and jon boats are left tied to eroding banks or half sunk in shallow backwaters. Owners who launched years ago at the Pine Lake State Park ramp sometimes abandon watercraft when motors fail and repairs become too costly. Flooded hulls, cracked fiberglass, and seized engines are the most common conditions crews encounter on these inland waters.

Storage yard removals are another frequent scenario, especially for pontoon boats and flat bottom fishing rigs left on trailers behind rural properties near Steamboat Rock. Some owners in Union discover boats inherited with a property that have sat idle for a decade or more, collecting rot and pest damage. AAA Rousse coordinates disassembly, safe loading, and responsible disposal so neither the owner nor the land is left with lingering waste.

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).
