Water Heater Removal
In Joliet
Water heaters are awkward, heavy and usually jammed into a utility closet. We drain yours, disconnect it and carry it out, so you never have to wrestle it up the stairs.
The old heater out, the metal recycled
When a water heater quits, it leaves behind a rusted steel cylinder that can run past 150 pounds once you factor the sediment. Most of them sit in a tight basement or a closet with a turn in the doorway. We take the whole job off your plate: we shut the supply, drain the tank, break it loose at the gas or electric connection, and bring it up and out in one piece.
Joliet trash runs through the curbside program, with household waste in your 96-gallon cart and bulk items handled only by a separate request, not automatically at the curb. A water heater is not a cart item, and the town's hauler points cleanout debris toward a Bagster or the Moen transfer station over on Moen Avenue in Rockdale. Rather than schedule around a hauler or load a bag yourself, text us and we pull the tank for you. We serve Joliet from nearby Plainfield, quick off I-80 and I-55, same-day when the schedule allows.
Every kind of water heater
40 and 50 gallon gas tanks
The common residential sizes. We cap the gas, disconnect the vent and drain the tank before it moves an inch.
Electric water heaters
We shut the breaker and free the top wiring, then drain and lift the unit out clean.
Tankless on-demand units
The compact wall units come off the wall with their brackets. We disconnect and haul them, no mess left behind.
Rusted-out basement tanks
A tank that finally gave up and flooded the floor gets drained and carried out before it can drip further.
Two heaters at once
Bigger homes with a pair of tanks? Both go in the same trip, priced for the space they take.
Drip pans and old fittings
The pan under it, the old supply lines and the rusty straps go out with the heater too.
How we handle it in Joliet
Send a quick photo of the heater and the path out, and we reply with one flat price based on the room it takes in the trailer. No hourly clock, no charge added at the door. Our crew drains the tank so it comes out without spilling, carries it up the stairs, and leaves the spot swept. Good steel gets recycled through a scrap yard, not buried.
- Tank drained before we lift it
- Gas and electric both disconnected

What Customers Are Saying
"Highly recommend On It Junk Removal. They showed up right on time, worked quickly, and handled everything with care. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the pricing was very reasonable."

Questions
The town's hauler takes bulk items only by a separate request, not with your 96-gallon cart, and a heavy old tank is not regular trash. We come on your schedule and carry it out for you, same-day when we can. Call (815) 240-0735.
No. A full tank is the heavy part and it will spill, so we drain it to a hose on site and it rides out dry.
Not for us. Leakers are routine. We drain what is left, bag the base if it is wet, and keep the water off your floor.
We run water heater removal across the area from Plainfield, including Joliet, Shorewood, Crest Hill, Lockport and Channahon. Reach us at (815) 240-0735.
The steel is recyclable, so it goes to scrap rather than a landfill. You get it gone without adding metal to the ground.
