New Washer Coming? How to Prep for Delivery Day and Get the Old Set Gone

September 13, 2026 · Brevard Appliance Removal

To prep for a new washer delivery in Brevard County, clear a wide path to the laundry area and turn off the water supply valves beforehand. If you need the old set gone, text a photo of the appliances to (321) 604-1285. We provide flat-rate hauling with no trip charges across the Space Coast.

Clear the Path from the Street to the Laundry Room

Delivery crews need a clear runway from your front door straight to the laundry room. Move shoes, toys, and hallway rugs out of the way before the truck arrives. Space Coast homes often feature tight indoor utility closets or narrow garage laundry setups. Measure doorways and hallway corners ahead of time so the delivery team knows what they are dealing with. A clear path prevents scuffed walls and keeps the swap-out moving fast.

Shut Off the Water and Unplug the Old Unit

Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves behind your current washing machine before delivery day arrives. Space Coast humidity and hard water often cause older brass shutoff valves to seize up or leak when you turn them. If your valves do not budge, do not force them and call a plumber instead. Unplug the power cord and make sure the drain hose is pulled out of the standpipe so water does not spill on your floors.

Handle Disconnected Hoses and Standing Water

Old washing machines always hold a little bit of residual water inside the drum and the internal pump hoses. Disconnect the supply hoses from the wall and let them drain into a bucket before the delivery crew gets there. Brevard County coastal air rusts metal fast, so old hoses might be stuck tight. Spray a little penetrating oil on stubborn fittings if you need to loosen them up yourself.

Schedule the Old Appliance Haul-Away

Big box delivery drivers usually drop off the new machine and leave your old dead washer sitting on the driveway or porch. Do not let old appliances rust in your yard where the salt air ruins them even faster. You need prompt washer and dryer removal to clear your space. We haul away old laundry sets from beachside condos and mainland rental properties alike with zero hassle.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Do I need to disconnect the old washer before you haul it away?

A: It helps if the water is shut off and the unit is unplugged, but we can handle the heavy lifting if you are unable to do it. Just let us know the setup when you reach out to book your pickup.

Q: What do you do with the old washer once it is out of my house?

A: We take all appliances to local recycling facilities instead of throwing them into a Brevard County landfill. Recycling keeps scrap metal out of our local environment and reuses valuable materials.

Q: Do you charge extra if my laundry is located upstairs?

A: We never charge extra fees for stairs or difficult removal locations. Our pricing is completely flat and straightforward for every single job across the entire Space Coast area.

Q: How fast can you pick up my old appliances after the new ones arrive?

A: We typically offer same-day and next-day availability for customers across Brevard County. Text us a photo of the appliance to get on the schedule quickly.
