Unfinished basements are additional storage for nonperishable food, seasonal attire, home improvement products, power tools, holiday decorations, and unused decorative pieces. Finished basements, on the other hand, are additional living spaces. There is one major difference – livable and non-livable – between finished and unfinished basements. Regardless, the space makes great storage when it is encapsulated.
Our Residential Basement Declutter Service
Basement storage and basement living are common in Seattle, Washington. Millions of homeowners have transitioned from traditional basements to basement laundry rooms, dens, home gyms & offices, billiard rooms, wine cellars, home theaters, libraries, and home bars.
When basement space is utilized solely for storing items when not in use, clutter almost always becomes an issue. Clutter is generally a minor issue, that is until all the space is used up. Contrary to belief, basement clutter cannot be ignored, even though, it is not in the main house. Homeowners with an overly cluttered basement experience stress and anxiety because of it.
Our basement declutter service is available to all Seattle consumers. We have the resources – certified removal teams, loading equipment, and trucks – on hand to clean out basements and dispose of unwanted items and materials.
Small- and medium-sized basement cleanouts can be completed in less than eight hours in most cases.

Residential Clean Out For Unfinished Basement Tips
Unfinished, non-encapsulated basements are prone to moisture problems. When consumers opt to turn their moisture-prone, unfinished basements into storage space, they often regret the decision later on down the road. Items stored in moisture-prone spaces are harbors for mold, mildew, water bugs, mites, spiders, crickets, and millipedes.
Homeowners can expect to lose the majority of their items stored in damp basements.
- Prepare and implement a mold removal strategy
- Prepare to dispose of severely damaged items
- Prepare to transport severely damaged items to a municipal waste collection site or landfill
- Prepare for a major cleanup post-cleanout
- Prepare to wash and dry salvageable moldy items
- Prepare to spot-clean once the basement is completely empty
Residential Cleanout For Finished Basement Tips

- Develop and implement a cleanout strategy
- Gather your cleaning supplies, garbage bags, brooms, and vacuum cleaners
- Enlist some volunteers or paid helpers
