The property manager sent two photos showing a small jet ski sitting on a trailer behind an Atascocita duplex. It looked light enough, but those quick phone snaps missed the cracked hull and the pump that had rusted completely solid over two Texas summers. The former tenant had moved on, leaving the landlord with a non-running junk boat parked right where the new renters were supposed to park their cars.
When our crew arrived, we found the trailer tires dry-rotted down to the cords and the wheel bearings seized fast. You could not roll this vessel ten feet without dragging the rubber off the rims. Before we pulled anything onto our trailer, we made sure no fuel or crankcase oil was leaking from the engine compartment into the grass. The landlord signed a release of liability online when he booked us, so the paperwork was already square. We used our winch to pull the jet ski and its locked-up trailer together onto our deck, secured the tie-downs, and cleared out.
The usable metal was pulled for salvage, parts went to recycling, and the crushed hull went through proper disposal. The driveway was clear, and the property owner kept his signed receipt to prove the vessel was off his land. If you have an unwanted vessel sitting anywhere in Atascocita or Harris County, call 866-994-1769 for our boat removal services.
Why we look for leaks before anything else
Usually, we tell property owners that a wet hull adds a lot of dead weight after months in the grass. The cooler March weather firms up the dirt driveways, but years of rain stay trapped inside the fiberglass foam. When you send us photos for an estimate, show us the hull from the side, the trailer tires, and the gate we have to back through. That keeps our pricing straight before we load.

Atascocita owners ask about boat removal
Can you remove a boat that is in the water?
Yes, we take boats from docks and marinas across the bayou. Our crew secures the derelict hull at the slip, checks for fluid leaks, and hauls the vessel out using our trailer and winch setup.
Do you handle hurricane-damaged boats?
Yes, we handle storm-damaged and sunken boats left on your waterfront lot or yard. We check all hazardous fluids first, tow the vessel out safely, and handle the complete boat removal process for you.
Where we remove boats near Atascocita, TX
We pick up boats across Harris County, in Pasadena, La Porte, Deer Park and Humble. Spring weather makes the dirt firm enough for our truck, but winter rain often settles inside old pontoon decks and sailboat hulls, making them heavier to lift.
