Washer and Dryer Moving in Windsor-Essex: What You Should Know
Washers and dryers might seem simple to move, but their weight, shape, and hookups make them some of the trickiest appliances to relocate. Whether front-load or stackable, each unit has its own quirks, and improper handling can cause damage to your flooring, your appliance, or worse, result in injury.
From water line disconnections to narrow stairwells, moving laundry appliances comes with built-in risks. Our movers handle everything from careful unhooking to padded protection and safe reinstallation.
| Appliance Type | Common Challenges | Protection Used | We Disconnect? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front-Load Washer | Heavy drum, front glass, water lines | Moving blankets, straps | Yes |
| Top-Load Washer | Center of gravity, agitator inside | Foam wrap, shrink wrap | Yes |
| Gas Dryer | Gas line detachment and reattachment | Bubble wrap, dolly straps | No |
| Electric Dryer | Power cord safety, rear vents | Corner guards, padding | Yes |
| Stackable Units | Tall height, tight spaces, multi-part move | Foam sheets, custom support | Yes |
These examples highlight just a few of the appliance types we handle regularly. With Visor Guys, you can rest assured that each machine is moved using proven methods to keep your home and appliances safe.
