Basement Cleanout

That’s usually the whole reason people call. Narrow treads, tight turns and low beams are normal, and we plan the route and protect the walls before we start. If access is genuinely tight, say so when you book and we’ll send more people rather than fewer.

Damp cardboard, swollen particleboard and musty fabric are normal basement finds and we’ll take them. What we can’t take is active mold growth, which needs a remediation company rather than a hauling crew. If a wall or floor is visibly affected, get that handled first and call us for the contents afterward.

No. Most people haven’t opened those boxes in years and don’t want to start now. We carry things up and you say yes or no at the top of the stairs. If you’d rather open boxes as they come up, we’ll work at that pace instead.

Both. A chest freezer counts as an appliance containing refrigerant, so it carries a per-unit surcharge under EPA rules and needs to be disconnected and emptied before we arrive. Water heaters are straightforward as long as they’re disconnected and drained.

Anywhere from two hours to most of a day. The variables are volume, the staircase, and how much you want to review on the way out. We give you a time estimate along with the price before we start.

We sort as we load. Furniture and household goods in usable shape go to local donation partners including Habitat for Humanity. Metal, electronics and cardboard get recycled. Water-damaged goods are the hardest to rehome, but we look for an option on those too before anything goes to a facility.
