Washers are dense and can hold water in hoses or the pump. Dryers are lighter but still bulky. A good pickup plan accounts for the drain, shutoff valves, dryer connection, door width, and any pedestal or stacking kit.
Items this service is built around
- Top-load and front-load washing machines
- Electric dryers
- Side-by-side laundry pairs
- Stacked units after safe separation and disconnection
- Pedestals arranged with the appliance
Prepare the appliance and route
- Shut off water valves and disconnect the hoses.
- Drain remaining water and secure loose cords or hoses.
- Clean the lint trap and disconnect the electric dryer vent.
- Arrange qualified disconnection for gas dryers or hardwired units.
What shapes an estimate
The appliance size and count, its floor level, stair and doorway access, required crew and moving equipment, loading distance, disconnection status, and timing can all change the scope. Share the difficult detail early rather than waiting for pickup day.
Boundaries to confirm
Do not assume gas, hardwired electrical, plumbing, cabinet removal, refrigerant work, or hazardous-material handling is included. Those conditions can require another qualified trade or a different disposal route.
