Washer & Dryer Removal in Arlington, TX
Laundry machines are the appliances most likely to be somewhere genuinely difficult — a closet narrower than the machine, behind a bi-fold door, on the second floor of a building with no elevator.

The closet is the problem, not the machine
A washer weighs roughly two hundred pounds and a dryer rather less, which on an open floor is a straightforward two-person lift with a dolly. What makes laundry appliances awkward is almost always the space they are in: a utility closet built to the exact width of the pair, a bi-fold door track that has to come off, a stacked unit where the dryer has to come down before the washer can move, and a floor you do not want to drag steel feet across.
Front-loading washers add a further wrinkle. They contain concrete or cast counterweights that make them heavier than a top loader of the same size, and the drum can swing on its suspension if the shipping bolts are long gone — which they always are. Strapping the drum before the carry is what stops that.
In an Arlington apartment the whole sequence then has to happen again on a stairwell. That is normal work here, but it is a three-person job more often than people expect.
What has to happen before the crew lifts
The water supply needs to be off at the valves and the machine unplugged. Where that is already done and the fittings are accessible, the crew will disconnect the hoses and drain line as part of the job. Where a valve is seized, buried behind a wall panel, or the machine is gas — a gas dryer, in particular — that is a plumber or a gas fitter first.
A washer holds water even when it looks empty, so the drain hose comes off into a bucket rather than onto the floor.

Old set out, new set in
Delivery crews usually only take the machine they are replacing, and only if it is already disconnected and accessible. Anything else can go on the same visit.
FAQ
Washer & Dryer Removal in Arlington, TX — common questions
- Will you disconnect the washer for me?
- If the water is already shut off at the valves and the fittings are reachable, yes — hoses and drain line come off as part of the job. If a valve is seized or inaccessible, that needs a plumber first, because forcing an old valve is how a small job becomes a flood.
- Can you take a gas dryer?
- Yes, but the gas supply must be shut off and the appliance disconnected by someone qualified before the crew arrives. We will not disconnect gas.
- Can you get a stacked set out of an apartment closet?
- Yes. The dryer comes down first, then the washer, then both go down the stairs. It is a common Arlington job — say which floor you are on when you book so the crew is sized for it.
- What happens to the machines?
- They are processed for scrap metal — the cabinet, drum and motor are all recoverable. Gas dryers and any unit with a sealed refrigeration component are separated for the appropriate handling first.
