Water Heater Removal
In Lemont
Old water heaters are heavy, full of water and buried in the utility room. We drain yours, disconnect it and carry it out, then recycle the steel.
The dead tank out of the utility room
A water heater that has failed is deceptively heavy. Sediment builds up in the bottom over the years, and a full tank can run past 150 pounds. Add the tight basements common in older Lemont homes and it becomes a two-person job you do not want to do yourself. We take it on start to finish: shut off, drain, disconnect at the gas or breaker, and carry the unit out whole.
Lemont trash runs through the curbside program, which takes one large household item on your regular day and makes you call in for any oversized extra, with an estimate quoted first. A water heater sits on the heavy end of that, and the town's hauler steers hard-to-handle items toward its At Your Door collection rather than the curb. Instead of scheduling and waiting, text us and we pull the tank for you. We reach Lemont from Plainfield down Route 83 and along the Des Plaines corridor, same-day when the schedule allows.
Water heaters we remove
Gas water heaters
We shut the gas, break the vent and flex line, drain the tank and carry it up and out dry.
Electric units
Breaker off, top wiring freed, tank drained, then lifted out without dragging across the floor.
Tankless systems
On-demand wall heaters come off with their bracket and lines, taken clean.
Sediment-heavy old tanks
The really heavy ones, packed with years of sediment, are ours to carry so your back stays out of it.
Heater plus softener
Pulling the softener at the same time keeps it to one visit and one flat price.
Vent pipe and old lines
The flue section, corroded fittings and drip pan leave with the heater.
How a Lemont removal works
Send a photo of the heater and the path to the door, and we quote one flat price by the room it takes in the trailer. No hourly rate, nothing added at the curb. Our crew drains the tank so it comes out dry, does the carrying, and leaves the utility room swept. The steel goes to scrap to be recycled.
- Drained before we lift a thing

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."

Questions
The town's hauler takes one large item on your day but makes you call in and get an estimate for anything oversized, and a water heater is heavy enough to land there. We come on your schedule and carry it out the same day when we can. Call (815) 240-0735.
Yes. We empty the tank to a hose on site so the heavy water is gone and it leaves dry.
Leakers are routine for us. We drain what is left, keep the base contained, and carry it out without wetting the floor.

The tank is steel, so it goes to a scrap recycler instead of a landfill.
