Water Heater Removal
In La Grange
An old water heater is heavy, awkward and full of water. We drain it, cut it loose from the gas or electric, and carry it out of the basement for you.
Heavy, wet and in the way: we take it
Water heaters are one of those jobs that look simple until you try to move one. Full of sediment, a 50-gallon tank can top 150 pounds, and it never sits in an easy spot. We take the whole thing on. We shut off the supply, drain the tank down to nothing, disconnect it at the gas valve or the breaker, and walk it out of the house without you touching it.
La Grange uses a private hauler, and their rule is telling: a bulk item under 75 pounds rides free, but anything heavier needs two refuse stickers on it, and white goods have to be called in and set at the curb by 6 a.m. A water heater clears that 75-pound line with ease, which is exactly why it is a pain to put out yourself. We just pull it instead. We reach La Grange from Plainfield by way of I-55 and I-294, same-day when the schedule allows.
Water heaters of every type
Gas tank water heaters
We shut the gas, pull the vent and flex connector, and drain the tank before carrying it up and out.
Electric models
We cut the breaker, disconnect the top wiring, empty the tank and lift it out in one clean move.
Tankless wall units
Compact tankless heaters come off the wall with the bracket and lines, nothing left hanging.
Over-75-pound tanks
The heavy old tanks that would cost you stickers at the curb are simply ours to carry.
Softeners alongside
If the water softener is going too, it rides out with the heater in the same visit.
Old vent pipe and straps
The flue section, seismic straps and corroded fittings leave with the heater, not left for you.
How it works in La Grange
Snap a photo of the heater and the way out, and we send a flat price set by the space it fills in the trailer. The number we give is the number you pay, nothing tacked on later. Our crew drains the tank so it leaves dry, carries it up the stairs, and tidies the spot. The old steel heads to a scrap recycler.

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."
"The crew was quick and responsive. Easy to work with and transparent. Last minute job. Thank you!!"

Questions
A water heater is well over their 75-pound free limit, so it needs two stickers and a called-in white-goods pickup set out by 6 a.m. We come on your time and carry it out instead. Call (815) 240-0735.
Yes, every time. We empty it to a hose on site so it comes out dry and nothing spills on the stairs.
Completely. Leaking tanks are most of what we remove. We drain the rest, keep the water contained, and get it out.
