Describe the appliance and the job
Describe front-load or top-load machines, a separate pair, a stacked pair or a one-piece laundry center. Include pedestal drawers and stacking hardware in the inventory if they are leaving too.
Before pickup
- Remove clothing, detergent and anything stored on top.
- Record whether the dryer is gas or electric.
- Arrange safe disconnection of utilities and venting.
- Photograph the laundry-room doorway, stairs and any stacking kit.
Agree on the boundaries
A gas dryer needs an appropriate appliance technician for gas disconnection. Hauling should not be treated as permission to alter plumbing, wiring or gas lines. Do not attempt to unstack heavy units alone.
What affects the estimate?
An upstairs laundry room, stacked configuration, drain water and a long path through the house can affect the work. Tell the provider about these before comparing prices.
Confirm acceptance, the full scope and the pickup address before making arrangements. Explore local pickup planning for nearby communities.
Washer & Dryer Removal questions
Can I leave the hoses attached?
Follow the manufacturer’s preparation guidance and agree with the provider on the required disconnected condition. Note any residual water or leaks.
Is a stacked pair one item?
Describe the actual units and hardware. The estimate should identify what is being removed and whether separation is included.
Do transport bolts matter?
For a washer intended for reuse, check the model’s moving instructions. Required shipping hardware differs between machines.
