Water Heater Removal
In Homer Glen
A dead water heater is a hundred-plus pounds of rusted steel sitting in a basement corner. We drain it, break the connections and carry the whole unit up and out, then recycle the metal.
The old tank gone the same day, in one trip
A failed water heater does not go quietly. It leaks at the base, it weighs more than one person should lift, and it almost always lives in the worst spot to carry a heavy thing out of. We handle the full job so you do not strain your back or soak the floor. We shut the water, drain the tank down, disconnect it at the gas line or the breaker, and walk it out whole.
Homer Glen runs a take-all curb service through the curbside program, and the resident brochure counts a water heater as your one bulk item for the week. That is fine for a swap-out that happens on schedule, but a dead tank that needs out now does not wait for pickup day, and the Village keeps a discounted container rate through the curbside program only for big remodel loads. For a single old heater we just come get it, drain it and recycle the steel. We cover Homer Glen from Plainfield, up through Lockport and Lemont, same-day when the schedule allows.
Water heaters we take out
Gas tank heaters
We close the gas valve, disconnect the flex line and vent, drain the tank and carry it out. The old steel gets recycled.
Electric tank heaters
We kill the breaker, free the wiring at the top, empty the tank and lift the unit out without dragging it across your floor.
Tankless units
Wall-mounted tankless heaters come down cleanly. We disconnect the lines and take the unit and any mounting bracket with it.
Leaking, rusted tanks
A tank weeping at the seam gets drained into a bucket or hose first, so nothing spills on the way out.
Old water softeners
Doing the softener at the same time? We pull it alongside the heater in the same visit and one price.
Expansion tanks and parts
The little expansion tank, the old flex lines and the drip pan go out with the heater instead of cluttering a shelf.
How a Homer Glen water heater removal goes
Text us a photo of the unit and roughly where it sits, and we send back a flat price by the space it takes in the trailer. The price we quote is the price you pay, with nothing added at the curb. On the day, our crew does every bit of the lifting, drains the tank so it comes out dry, and sweeps up after. The working metal gets recycled, not landfilled.
- We drain the tank before we move it
- Gas or electric, we disconnect it
- Tank or tankless, both come out
- All the carrying is on us
- Steel recycled, not dumped
- One flat price, quoted up front

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 counts a water heater as your one bulk item for the week on the take-all service, so a scheduled swap can go that route. A failed tank that needs out today does not wait for pickup day. We come when it suits you and carry it out the same day when the schedule allows. Call (815) 240-0735.
We drain it. A full 40 or 50 gallon tank is dead weight and will spill, so we empty it to a hose or bucket before we lift, and it rides out dry.
That is most of the ones we pull. We get it drained and bagged if the base is wet, and keep the water off your floor on the way out.
