Water Heater Removal and Haul-Away

A spent water heater is pure dead weight, usually tucked into a basement or a tight utility closet. We drain it, disconnect it whether it runs on gas or electric, and wrestle it out so you are not stuck with a rusting tank in the corner. You get one flat price for the haul-away and a crew that handles every ounce of the lifting. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Based in Plainfield, we pull old water heaters across the southwest suburbs, from Naperville and Wheaton to Joliet, Lockport, and Bolingbrook. Your plumber swaps in the new unit, and we take the old one off your hands so it is not leaning against the wall for months. The tank gets recycled for its steel rather than sitting at the curb waiting on a special pickup.

Water Heaters We Haul Away

Gas Water Heaters

We disconnect the gas line safely and carry the old tank out. The unit is already swapped or ready to go.

Electric Water Heaters

We disconnect and haul the electric units from the utility room. They are heavy and full of scale, and we take the weight.

Tank Fully Drained

We drain the tank down before the lift. There is no water across your floor on the way out.

Out of the Basement

We handle the stairs and the turns, since most water heaters live downstairs. You never touch it.

Tight Utility Closets

We work a tank free of a jammed closet and out the door. The doorway does not get banged up.

Steel Recycled

We recycle the old tank for its metal. It does not land in a landfill or sit at your curb.

How Water Heater Removal Works

Text a photo of the old water heater and where it sits, and we quote the haul-away by the piece. We confirm it is disconnected and drained, or we drain it down ourselves before the lift. Our crew carries it up and out and loads it, so you do not haul a full tank up a flight of stairs. The steel is recycled, which is the right end for an old unit.

  • Drained before we lift it

Clear Out the Old Tank

"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."
