Having a pool table in your home can add an extra layer of fun, but when you no longer use it and want to get rid of it, it can be difficult. That’s why we offer pool table removal in Arlington, VA, so you can easily free up space in your home.

 

How We Remove Your Pool Table

Removing a pool table is a tricky business that requires special junk removal skills and equipment. At 123JUNK, we make the process smooth, safe, and efficient. Here’s how we do it:

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Initial Assessment and Quote: We start with an initial assessment, either in-person or through photos. We get to know your pool table, size, weight and any obstacles in the way. We then give you a clear and competitive quote.
  2. Scheduling the Removal: Once you approve the quote, we schedule a time that suits you. We’re flexible and work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your day.
  3. Disassembly (If Necessary): Depending on the type and location of your pool table, we may need to disassemble it before removal. We carefully disassemble the table, handling each part with care so we don’t damage your property or the table itself.
  4. Safe Removal: After disassembly, we move each part out of your home or business with precision. Our team is trained to navigate tight spaces, stairs and other challenges to get the pool table out of your property.
  5. Transportation and Disposal: Once removed, we transport the pool table to our facility. We donate, recycle or dispose of the materials depending on its condition. Our commitment to being environmentally friendly means we handle your pool table in the most sustainable way possible.

Tools and Techniques Used

To remove a pool table without damage, 123JUNK uses a combination of specialized tools and techniques. Our heavy-duty dollies and carts designed for moving large items like pool tables can get into tight spaces and upstairs without causing any damage. Each part of the pool table is wrapped in padding and strapped to prevent scratches or dents during transport.

For disassembly, our team uses specialized tools, wrenches, screwdrivers, and hammers to take each component apart without damage. Our team is also trained in proper lifting and carrying techniques, which is crucial when handling heavy items like a pool table. This way, the removal process will be safe and efficient and will protect your property and our crew.

What Happens After Your Pool Table is Removed?

We follow a 1-2-3 disposal process to make sure your pool table is handled responsibly and sustainably:

  1. Donate: If your pool table is in good condition, we first look for donation opportunities. We work with local charities to find a new home for the table, giving it a second life and supporting our community.
  2. Recycle: If the table or its parts aren’t suitable for donation, we then focus on recycling. We dismantle the table and separate the wood, metal, and slate. These are sent to recycling facilities where they can be processed and reused.
  3. Dispose: Any parts that can’t be donated or recycled are disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. We follow local regulations and guidelines to ensure disposal is safe and ethical.

 

Pool Tables Come in All Shapes and Sizes

Pool tables come in many sizes, each with its own hurdles when it comes to removal. Knowing the sizes will help you understand the task and why professional removal is often required.

Standard Sizes

The most common pool table sizes are 7ft, 8ft, and 9ft. A 7ft table, often referred to as a bar table, is usually found in home game rooms and bars. An 8ft table, known as the professional size, is popular in both residential and commercial settings. A 9ft table, which is the tournament size, is the biggest and heaviest and often needs to be disassembled to get through doorways and tight spaces.

Oversized and Custom Tables

Beyond standard sizes, there are oversized and custom-made tables that can be even more tricky to move. These tables may have thicker slates, unique designs, or additional features like ball return systems, all of which add to their weight and complexity. Custom pool tables, designed to fit specific spaces or aesthetics, can vary in size and structure and often require special handling during removal.

Slate Composition

Another factor to consider is the slate, the flat, heavy stone surface beneath the felt. Pool tables can have one piece or three pieces of slate. The more pieces of slate, the heavier and more awkward the table becomes during removal. One piece of slate can weigh several hundred pounds on its own, so professional removal is essential to avoid damage to the table or your property.
