The details, before we arrive

Basement Cleanouts, without the guesswork.

What to expect, how to prepare, and options for the things you’re ready to let go.

How a basement cleanout works

Send photos from the bottom of the stairs, and a photo of the stairs themselves. Whether the basement has a walkout door or only an interior staircase is the biggest variable in a basement job, and we want to know it before we quote, not after.

We bring hand trucks, straps and a second person. Furniture comes up the stairs. Appliances come up on a dolly. Carpet gets cut into strips that carry. We load everything straight onto the trailer, sweep the floor, and send you a photo of the empty room.

Basements in the Richmond area

Older city houses in the Fan, Northside and Bellevue have low basements with narrow stairs and sometimes a coal-chute door that is the only outside way in. Split-levels in Bon Air and Tuckahoe have a lower level that walks out under the deck, which is easy. Newer houses in Midlothian and Glen Allen have full unfinished basements that became storage the week the family moved in.

We work in all of them. The price accounts for the access, and we do not change it once we see the room.

After a flood

Wet carpet and padding are heavy, and they get worse the longer they sit. Cut it out, get it out, and get air moving. Contact us to check availability after the space is safe to enter.

Basement Cleanouts questions

Do stairs cost extra?

They are in the price we text you, never added on the day. Tell us whether the basement has an outside entrance or only interior stairs, and how steep they are.

Can you take a fridge or freezer out of the basement?

Yes. Appliances with Freon are handled as Freon appliances at the county facility, and that is in our price too. Empty it and unplug it before we come.

My basement flooded. Can you take the wet stuff?

Yes. Wet carpet, padding, drywall and ruined furniture are a normal basement job. If there is standing water, get that out first. If there is mold on the walls, that needs a remediation company, not us.

Can you take the old paneling and drop ceiling?

Yes, if it is already down or you want it down. Send a photo and we will price the demo in.
