Water Heater Removal
In Oak Brook
A worn-out water heater is heavy dead weight and still holds a tank of water. We drain it, disconnect it and carry it out, then recycle the steel.
Over the weight line, and ours to carry
A water heater at the end of its life is a heavier load than it appears, and it holds its water until someone drains it. Set into a basement or mechanical room, it is a two-person lift through doorways that were never meant for it. We handle the whole thing. We close the supply, drain the tank, disconnect it at the gas valve or the breaker, and carry the unit up and out of the house in one piece.
Oak Brook uses a private hauler, which folds bulk furniture into the weekly Monday collection but requires items over 50 pounds to be scheduled in advance. A full water heater clears that 50-pound line easily, so it is not something you simply set at the curb on a Sunday night. Rather than schedule a special pickup and still do the lifting, text us and we take it. We reach Oak Brook from Plainfield by I-88 and Route 83, same-day when the schedule allows.
Water heaters we take
Gas tank heaters
We shut the gas, break the vent and connector, drain the tank and carry it out dry.
Electric water heaters
Breaker off, top wiring freed, tank drained, then lifted out without a drag mark.
Tankless units
On-demand wall heaters come off with their bracket and lines and leave with us.
Over-50-pound tanks
The heavy tanks that would need a scheduled pickup at the curb are simply ours to carry.
Heater and softener
Taking the softener out too keeps it to one visit and one flat price.
Pan, straps and lines
The drip pan, mounting straps and corroded flex lines ride out with the heater.
How it works in Oak Brook
Send a photo of the heater and the way out, and we put a flat price on it by the room it fills in the trailer. The clock never runs and nothing is added once we arrive. The crew drains the tank so it leaves dry, shoulders the carry up the stairs, and clears the floor behind them. The steel body goes to a scrap yard for recycling.

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
The town's hauler folds bulk furniture into the Monday collection but makes you schedule anything over 50 pounds in advance, and a full water heater is well past that. We come on your schedule and carry it out. Call (815) 240-0735.
Yes. We empty the tank to a hose on site so it leaves dry, since the water is the heavy part.
No problem. Leakers are routine for us. We drain what is left, contain the base, and keep the floor dry on the way out.
We handle water heater removal from Plainfield across Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace, Hinsdale, Westmont and Downers Grove. Reach us at (815) 240-0735.
