Before arranging pickup, identify each machine, its connection type, and its location. A stacked pair in a closet needs a different plan from two disconnected machines in a garage.
Describe the laundry setup
| Detail | What to report |
|---|---|
| Arrangement | Side by side, stacked, combination, or pedestal mounted |
| Dryer type | Gas or electric, if known |
| Connections | Whether water, drain, power, gas, and venting are still attached |
| Access | Floor level, stairs, door width, and parking distance |
Schedule trade work first
Confirm who will disconnect the machines and when they will be ready. A qualified professional should assess gas or hardwired equipment and any plumbing work you cannot safely manage. Do not arrange carrying work on the assumption that every utility task is included.
Check what travels with the machines
Decide whether pedestals, stacking hardware, and loose accessories are included. Remove laundry and personal items, then keep the exit route available for the pickup team. If the appliance is leaking or damaged, explain that before the visit.
Review washer & dryer removal and prepare the details for your estimate.
