Removal of suitable unwanted basement items after the load, stairs, carrying path, headroom and material conditions are reviewed.
What the service may include

- Storage-room and utility-area junk
- Renovation debris after material review
- Staged cleanouts for larger basements
Information needed for review
- Wide photos of all items
- Stair width, number of steps and tight turns
- Ceiling height and obstacles
- Whether any item requires disassembly
- Parking and distance from the basement exit
Important: Hazardous, contaminated, mold-affected, sewage-damaged, pressurized or unusually heavy material must be disclosed and may not be accepted.
Planning and access
Clear a safe route without creating new hazards
Keep stairs and landings clear, identify low pipes or wiring, and separate anything that must remain. Do not carry oversized items onto stairs before the crew arrives if doing so creates an unsafe condition.
Common questions
Do basement stairs affect the quote?
Yes. Stair length, width, turns, headroom and carrying distance affect labour and scheduling.
Can appliances be removed from a basement?
They may be reviewed, but item dimensions, weight, disconnection and the stair route must be disclosed.
What if there is mold or sewage damage?
Disclose it before booking. Ordinary junk removal is not a substitute for mold, sewage or biohazard remediation.
