Water Heater Removal
In Plainfield
We drain the old tank, break it loose from the gas or the breaker, and carry it up and out. You never lift it.
The Heaviest Thing in Your Basement, Gone
A water heater is one of those jobs that sits for months. It is heavy, it is tucked in a corner of the basement, and nobody wants to wrestle it up the stairs. We are based right here in Plainfield, so same-day pickup is common when you catch us with an opening. Our crew does all the lifting, from the shutoff valve to the truck.
Here in Plainfield, the town's hauler handles weekly trash on the Village contract, and the one time the curb takes a water heater is during the annual Spring Cleanup in early April, when white goods like refrigerators, washers, dryers and water heaters go out on your regular day. The rest of the year that old tank is on you. We come any week, drain it, disconnect it at the shutoff, and carry it out, then recycle the steel so it stays out of the Prairie View Landfill.
Water Heaters We Haul
Gas tank heaters
We shut the gas off at the valve, disconnect the line and the vent, and carry the whole unit out. You do not touch it.
Electric tank heaters
Breaker off, wiring disconnected, tank drained down and hauled. Gas or electric, the price is the same by the load.
Tankless units
Wall-mounted tankless heaters come off the bracket and out clean. We leave no mess behind.
Leaking, rusted tanks
A failed heater full of rusty water is heavy and wants to drip on your floor. We drain it slow and move it on a dolly so nothing spills across the basement.
Replacement day haul-off
Plumber dropping in a new one? We take the old tank the same day so it is not sitting in your garage for a month.
The softener too
If the water softener or an expansion tank is going out with it, add it to the load. One trip, one price.
How Water Heater Removal Works
Text a photo of the heater and where it sits, and we send back a flat price by the load, not by the hour. The price we quote is the price you pay, nothing added later. When we show up, our crew drains the tank, disconnects it from the shutoff, and carries it out, gas or electric, tank or tankless. We are insured and family-run, not a franchise, so the same crew that quotes it is the one in your basement.
- We drain the tank before we move it
- Disconnected at the gas or water shutoff
- Carried up the stairs by our crew
- Gas, electric or tankless, all handled
- Steel recycled, not dumped

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
Yes. We carry liability insurance and proof is available on request. Water heaters live in finished basements and tight utility closets, so it matters that the crew in your home is covered.
You pay for the space the heater takes on the trailer, priced up front. A single tank is a small load. Text a photo to (815) 240-0735 and we will quote it before we come.
No. We drain the tank on site so it is not sloshing sediment and water across your floor on the way out. Leave it where it is.
We are based in Plainfield and also serve Joliet, Shorewood, Romeoville, Bolingbrook and Oswego, usually same day when the schedule allows.
No. We handle gas, electric and tankless units. We shut off the gas or the breaker, disconnect, and haul it, then recycle the steel.
