Water Heater Removal
In Lockport
An old water heater is a heavy steel tank full of water in a tight spot. We drain it, disconnect it and carry it out, then recycle the metal.
One heavy tank, gone the same day
Few household items are as awkward to remove as a spent water heater. It holds a tank of water, it can push past 150 pounds with sediment, and it is tied into the gas or the panel in a corner with no room to swing it around. We do the entire job for you. We shut the supply, drain the tank, disconnect the unit, and carry it up the stairs and out of the house in one go.
Lockport runs its collection through the curbside program under a city contract, and the rule is strict: one furniture OR appliance item per week on your regular day. A water heater eats your whole appliance slot for that week, and it still has to be hauled up from the basement first. Rather than burn the slot and do the lifting, text us and we take the tank off your hands. We reach Lockport from Plainfield straight up Route 7, same-day when the schedule allows.
Water heaters we haul
Gas water heaters
We cap the gas, pull the vent and flex line, drain the tank and carry it out without a drip.
Electric tank units
Breaker off, wiring disconnected, tank emptied, then lifted out clean by the crew.
Tankless heaters
Wall-mounted on-demand units come down with their bracket and lines included.
Heavy sediment tanks
The old tanks loaded with sediment are the heaviest, and they are ours to carry, not yours.
Softener at the same time
If the water softener is coming out too, it leaves with the heater in one visit.
Old vent and fittings
The flue, drip pan and rusted flex lines go out alongside the heater.
How a Lockport removal goes
Text a photo of the heater and the way out, and we send one flat price by the space it fills in the trailer. The number holds, with nothing added later. The crew drains the tank so it leaves dry, carries it up and out, and tidies the spot. The old steel gets recycled rather than landfilled.

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."
"ONIT took our hot tub, waterlogged cover, AND disconnected the electricity. Nowhere else that I called would disconnect it… They were in and out within the hour with no debris or signs that they had even been there."
