A narrow staircase leading up out of a basement

Does Spartan clear basements and crawl spaces?

Yes. Spartan Junk Removal clears basements, crawl spaces, attics and storage units across Surrey and Metro Vancouver. The crew carries every box up the stairs, protects your walls and floors on the way out, and sorts donations and recycling as it goes. Water-damaged items are usually fine; active mould needs a remediation company first.

Everything in a basement has to come up the stairs.

Tight stairwells, low ceilings and years of boxes make basement and storage cleanouts slow, heavy work. We protect the route out, carry every box up ourselves and sort donations and recycling as we go.

Everything, start to sweep.

Photograph everything

Take photos of damaged items before anything leaves the house. Your insurer may ask for them.

Good to know

A surcharge may apply for some items on this kind of job, such as mattresses and box springs, fridges and freezers.

In-unit labour may apply when items are upstairs, in elevators or in backyards, based on access and distance.

Either way, it’s part of your estimate before anything moves.

About surcharges

What affects the cost of a basement cleanout

Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.

Stairs and the route out

Steep stairs, tight turns, low ceilings and a long carry to the truck all add time, so in-unit labour may apply.

To lower it: Use the walk-out or side entrance if there is one, and clear the route before we arrive.
Volume

Priced by the room your items need in our 25-cubic-yard truck.

To lower it: Go through old boxes for keepers first, and flatten the empty ones.
Wet, heavy items

Soaked carpet, underlay and boxes weigh far more than dry ones.

To lower it: Bag wet items and let what you can dry out before pickup.
Appliances and mattresses

Old fridges, freezers and guest-room mattresses go to their own recyclers and can carry a surcharge.

To lower it: Got one mattress you can get to the curb? It can go in your free City of Surrey pickup, in a clear bag.

How to get ready for a basement cleanout

Mark what stays, or plan to walk us through it.
Turn on the lights and clear a path from the stairs to the door.
Bag wet or mouldy items you can safely handle.
In a rented suite, let the tenant know the day and time.
Storage unit? Have the gate code and unit number ready, and let the facility know we’re coming.

Storage unit cleanouts

Paying every month for a unit full of things you don’t use? We meet you at the storage facility, clear the unit and leave it broom-clean so you can hand back the key.

Where it all goes.

We donate what’s usable, recycle metals, electronics and cardboard, and take the rest to licensed facilities.

Just call them. They make your heaviest most problematic junk disappear like magic. We had an amazing experience with Spartan Junk Removal! Easy to schedule and super speedy response. Stress free, awesome service, plus great humour. We had a bunch of old equipment that needed to be gone. It was quite a big job but they took care of absolutely everything from start to finish. They were so efficient and all the heavy lifting was done so quick and our space was taken care of. They totally made this stressful job feel completely effortless. Everything was cleared out in no time like magic. And it’s so rare to find genuine people to work with these days and just couldn’t be happier with these folks. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team that’s got your back. You won’t regret this.

Basement Cleanouts questions

Do you take water-damaged items?

Usually, yes, but ask us first. Bagged mouldy items are usually fine. If there is active mould on walls, a remediation company needs to deal with it first.

Is there a charge for basement stairs?

If stairs, tight turns or a long carry add work, in-unit labour may apply. It’s always part of the estimate we give you before anything moves.

Do you clear attics and crawl spaces?

Yes, if there’s safe access. We’ll check it at the quote.

Do you remove wet carpet and underlay?

Yes. Rolled or loose, we carry it up and out. If the flooring is vinyl or tile from before 1990, it needs an asbestos test first.

Can you clear a storage unit?

Yes. We meet you at the facility, clear the unit and leave it broom-clean so you can hand back the key.

Basement or garage: what’s the difference?

A basement cleanout is mostly carrying, up stairs and through tight spaces, often after water damage. A garage cleanout is mostly sorting tools, tires and the paint we can’t take. We can quote both together.
