Hot tub removal made simple
An old or broken spa can quickly turn from a luxury feature into a heavy, unusable eyesore. Cracked shells, leaking plumbing, dead heaters, and rotting frames make most hot tubs more trouble than they’re worth. When that happens, homeowners are left wondering how to remove something that weighs hundreds of pounds and doesn’t fit through a standard gate.
Our hot tub removal service is designed for exactly this situation. Instead of struggling with saws, trailers, and risky lifting, you can have a trained crew handle the entire process from start to finish. We remove outdoor spas, deck-installed units, and backyard hot tubs without turning your property into a demolition site.
We Handle the Lifting, Cutting, and Hauling
Hot tubs are bulky, awkward, and extremely heavy. Even smaller models can weigh several hundred pounds before being dismantled. Larger spa and jacuzzi units often require strategic cutting and sectioning to remove them safely.
Our team arrives with the equipment and experience needed to manage the entire hot tub haul away process. That includes dismantling the shell when necessary, protecting nearby surfaces, and loading everything into our truck for proper disposal. You don’t need to lift, drag, or disassemble anything yourself.

Hot tub removal pricing
Hot tub removal isn’t one-size-fits-all. Pricing depends on labor, access, teardown complexity, and disposal.
Common factors that affect hot tub removal cost:
-
Size and weight (2–3 person spas vs large 6–8 person units)
-
Access difficulty (stairs, narrow gates, obstacles, tight corners)
-
Deck removals (tight angles, railing constraints, elevated carries)
-
Teardown needs (removing whole vs hot tub teardown and removal)
-
Distance to truck / carry time
-
Disposal requirements (some facilities charge by weight/type)
What you can expect from our pricing approach:
-
clear, upfront expectations
-
no “mystery add-ons”
-
a plan based on your actual setup
If you’re trying to avoid the common trap—“cheap quote over the phone, then surprise charges on-site”—good. That’s exactly what responsible operators avoid.
Responsible disposal and recycling
Hot tubs contain a mix of materials such as plastic, composite shells, insulation, pumps, and metal components. Once removed, these materials must be handled correctly. Our hot tub disposal process follows local facility guidelines, and recyclable metal parts are separated whenever possible.
This keeps bulky spa waste out of places it shouldn’t be and ensures the job is handled responsibly from start to finish.
Who uses hot tub removal services
Many customers call us when their hot tub has stopped working and repair costs don’t make sense. Others are preparing to sell their home, replacing a deck or patio, or simply reclaiming yard space that’s been taken over by an unused spa. New homeowners also frequently need old hot tub removal after inheriting one they never planned to use.
If your hot tub has become a project you keep putting off, professional removal is often the fastest way to move forward.
This is the second time I have used Express. Both times, I received excellent service from very courteous young men. They called about 15 minutes before arrival, were on time, had everything loaded quickly—I highly recommend them!

Two nice, respectful young men were strong and careful to remove old bedroom furniture from second story home. Also took an old couch from the basement…they charge according to the amount of space it requires in the truck. I will definitely call for future removal.

Hot Tub Removal FAQ
Do I need to disconnect my hot tub before removal?
Yes. The hot tub must be fully disconnected from power before removal. If the unit is hardwired, a licensed electrician should safely disconnect it. Once it is no longer connected to electricity, our team can proceed with safe dismantling and removal.
Do hot tubs need to be drained before removal?
Yes, hot tubs should be completely drained before removal. A drained hot tub is lighter, safer to handle, and easier to dismantle. If the tub is not drained, let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
How are hot tubs removed from a deck or tight space?
Hot tubs installed on decks or in tight areas are typically dismantled into smaller sections. We use controlled cutting and removal techniques to safely extract the spa without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding structures.
How much does hot tub removal cost?
Hot tub removal cost depends on the size of the spa, its location, and how difficult it is to access. Deck installations, tight gates, or units that require full demolition may increase labor time. We provide upfront pricing based on the specific setup.
What happens to a hot tub after it is hauled away?
After removal, hot tubs are taken to proper disposal facilities. Metal components may be recycled, while shells and composite materials are disposed of according to local waste regulations.
How long does hot tub removal take?
Most hot tub removals take a few hours. Larger spas or installations that require cutting and dismantling may take longer, especially if access is limited.
Can you remove an indoor hot tub?
Yes, indoor hot tubs can be removed. Indoor removals usually require dismantling the spa into sections so it can be safely carried out through doorways and hallways.
