Vanity removal Services in Lake County, Illinois
Bathroom vanity removal is a crucial first step in any bathroom remodel, and Cortes Junk Removal has completed hundreds of vanity removals across Lake County neighborhoods from Highland Park to Crystal Lake. Whether your vanity is a 24-inch single-sink unit in a 1970s Glenview home or a heavy 60-inch double-basin cabinet in a newer Barrington estate, we arrive with the tools and expertise to disconnect water lines, remove the cabinet securely, and haul it away in a single visit. Most vanity removal jobs in residential settings take 1-3 hours, leaving your bathroom ready for the next phase of renovation.
Our vanity removal process begins with a phone assessment at (847)513-4616 where we determine cabinet size, plumbing configuration, and wall attachment method. Upon arrival at your Lake County home, we turn off water supply lines, disconnect the faucet and drain tailpiece, and carefully remove fasteners securing the vanity to the wall and floor. We then haul the vanity and any accompanying debris to our truck for recycling or responsible disposal, sweep the bathroom area, and leave your space clean and ready for installation of a new unit.

Our Vanity removal Process
Initial Assessment and Water Shutoff
We inspect the vanity installation, locate the main water shutoff valve, and turn off water supply. This typically takes 10-15 minutes and prevents water damage during disconnection.
Plumbing Disconnection
Our team disconnects the faucet supply lines, removes the drain tailpiece, and separates the P-trap from the wall drain. This step usually takes 15-25 minutes depending on plumbing complexity.
Cabinet Removal
We locate all fastening points, remove screws or nails securing the vanity to wall studs, disconnect any silicone caulking, and carefully lift and remove the cabinet. Most vanities come out within 20-30 minutes.
Haul-Away and Cleanup
The entire vanity, faucet, and hardware are loaded onto our truck. We sweep and vacuum the bathroom floor, leaving your space dust-free and ready for new construction within 30 minutes.
