Burien Basement Cleanout
Homeowner’s Issue
Basements in Burien face a mix of challenges from our marine climate: frequent rain, high humidity, shady yards under tall evergreens, and soils that hold moisture. Those conditions encourage mold, mildew, and stored items to deteriorate, while sloped lots and poor drainage increase the chance of seepage or standing water.
Landlords and homeowners around Seahurst Park and the Highline corridor often store seasonal gear and extra furniture downstairs, which means clutter builds fast and maintenance gets ignored between tenants. You want spaces that are dry, safe, and easy to manage — not another liability or a place that drives up insurance risk. A focused, sustainable cleanout removes hazards, improves airflow and drainage access, and makes future upkeep simple and low-cost.
Our Quality Service
We handle cleanouts with Burien conditions in mind: we sort on-site, remove moisture-prone items, and address surface mold with eco-friendly cleaners and improved ventilation suggestions. Work is paced to avoid tracking mud and to protect stairways and doorways from damage during removal.
Benefits:
- Improved safety and reduced trip/fire hazards.
- Better curb appeal and faster turn-over for rentals.
- Low-maintenance results that last through our rainy season.
- Sustainable disposal: donate, recycle, compost, or green-bin when possible.
What’s Included
- Onsite assessment and clear scope of work.
- Sorting into keep, donate, recycle, and discard piles.
- Deep cleaning (sweeping, vacuuming, eco cleaners for mold/mildew).
- Responsible disposal and donation drop-offs.
- Basic repairs (patching, sealing small cracks) as requested.
Optional upgrades:

- Organic, non-toxic cleaners and mold treatments.
- Haul-away vs. green bin/transfer-station disposal options.
Before & After / Expectations
Expect a clear timeline at booking and a walk-through before we start so you know what’s kept, recycled, or removed. Afterward, we recommend simple habits to keep basements healthy: dry air, low-impact cleaners, and keeping stored items off concrete.
Care tips for Burien yards and foundations:
- Direct downspouts away from the foundation to reduce seepage.
- Use gravel or pavers near exits to reduce tracked-in mud.
- Watch for ivy regrowth and moss on shaded steps — remove by hand and improve light/airflow.
