Removing a hot tub from your property can be an overwhelming task, especially if you’re selling your home. Fortunately, there are some simple solutions for getting rid of that old hot tub.

Eliminating a hot tub from your property is no small feat, but with the right planning and support network, it will be smooth sailing. Consider the following points before making the final decision on how to get rid of a hot tub.

 

Sell the Hot Tub Before You Remove It

Before you go through the process of getting a hot tub removed, consider selling the hot tub instead. Hot tubs are expensive pieces of equipment, so you should be able to get a decent amount of money for it. The amount you can get for it will depend on the age and condition of your hot tub. If it’s still in good working order, you can expect to get a few thousand dollars for it. If it’s in rough shape, you’ll likely get a couple hundred dollars. If you sell the hot tub, you won’t have to worry about getting the cost of it out of your pocket. The buyer will take responsibility for hauling it away too, so you won’t have to deal with any extra work. Once you’ve found a buyer and it’s been removed, there will be nothing left to remind you of the hot tub. You’ll also be able to use that money towards renovating your home with new furniture or appliances.

 

Determining if You’ll Move or Tear it Down

Before you go through the process of tearing down or dismantling the hot tub, you should determine if it’s worth moving. If you live in a smaller home, a hot tub won’t fit. In this case, the most efficient way to get rid of it is to tear it down. If you decide to move the hot tub, though, you’ll need to make sure it’s safe for moving. To do this, drain the hot tub and remove the water and chemicals from the tub. After that, place a tarp underneath the hot tub to protect your floor, and use straps to secure it to the truck bed. If you’re moving the hot tub to a different area on your property, you’ll likely need to get a permit. Depending on where you live, you may be required to obtain a permit before moving the hot tub. Make sure you have a large enough vehicle to transport the hot tub, and that you have someone on hand to help you move it. If you don’t have the help available, it’s best to tear down the hot tub instead.

 

Hiring Professionals to Remove and Disassemble

If you’re not sure how to dismantle or remove the hot tub, it’s probably best to hire professionals to do it for you. You can find hot tub removal services online, and they’ll help you get rid of the hot tub at a much lower cost than you might expect. Finding a service that offers a flat rate (rather than an hourly rate) is your best bet. This will help you plan your budget better since you know exactly how much the service will cost. By hiring professionals to remove the hot tub, you can rest assured that it will be done safely. You’ll also save yourself the trouble of figuring out how to dismantle it. If you hire a reliable service, they can also help you get rid of the hot tub pieces, which will save you time and effort.

This will make it easier for you to transport them. Once you’ve inspected the pieces, you can use a service like FedEx to ship them.
