Flooded basement? Years of stored junk? We carry it all up the stairs and haul it away. Every box, every piece of furniture, every forgotten treadmill.
If you live in Cleveland, your basement is probably doing double duty as a storage unit, a laundry room, and a graveyard for things you swore you would use again. It happens in every neighborhood. The houses in Tremont, Lakewood, and Old Brooklyn were built in the early 1900s with deep basements and steep stairs, and over the decades those basements fill up.
Then the rain comes. Cleveland gets plenty of it. The sewer backs up, the sump pump fails, and suddenly everything stored down there is sitting in two inches of water. Cardboard boxes collapse. Furniture legs start to warp. That musty smell takes over and never quite leaves.
Whether you are dealing with flood damage, preparing a house for sale, or just finally ready to reclaim the space, Local Junk Team handles the entire cleanout. We carry everything up those stairs and take it away.
The number one concern people have about a basement cleanout is the stairs. In Cleveland's older homes, basement stairs are steep, narrow, and sometimes built at an angle that makes no logical sense. Low ceilings at the top of the stairwell. Tight corners at the bottom. A treadmill that somehow made it down there ten years ago and now seems physically impossible to remove.
Our crew deals with this every day. We carry everything up by hand, one trip at a time. Heavy furniture, bulky exercise equipment, dozens of boxes. We figure out the angles and make it happen. That is what you are paying us for.
After a heavy rain or a sewer backup, we get flooded with calls from homeowners in Euclid, Parma, West Park, and all across Cuyahoga County. The water recedes but leaves behind a mess of soggy cardboard, ruined furniture, and waterlogged carpet. We remove all of it. If there is standing water still present, that needs to be pumped out first, but once the water is gone, we come in and clear the damage.
If your basement has mold growing on items, we can remove those items. However, if there is mold growing in the walls, ceiling, or structure of the basement itself, you need a licensed mold remediation company to handle that first. We are not mold specialists. What we are is the team you call after remediation to haul away everything that needs to go.
We do the stair climbing. You point to what goes.
