Hot Tub Removal Sacramento

Getting rid of a hot tub or spa can be a bit of a challenge due to its size, weight, and the complexity involved in safely disconnecting and disposing of it. Here are the best ways to remove a hot tub or spa:

• Sell or trade it in if its in really good condition.
• Remove it yourself and haul it to your local landfill or transfer station.
• Hire a local junk removal company.

If you don’t want the hassle of doing it yourself you can always call Simp’s Junk Removal to handle it all for you!

• If you’re handy and have the necessary tools, you can dismantle the hot tub. This involves safely disconnecting the power supply, draining all the water, and then cutting the tub into manageable pieces (using a reciprocating saw or similar tool). You’ll need to contact your local waste management facility to see how you should dispose of all the parts.

Removing an inground hot tub or one that is surrounded by a deck can be more challenging due to the additional structures and integration into the landscape or home design.

• Access the situation and determine how the hot tub is integrated into the deck or ground.
• Gather your tools like a reciprocating saw, screwdrivers, wrenches, a sledgehammer, and protective gear.
• Remove all the water from the hot tub using a submersible pump or by opening the drain valve.
• If the hot tub is surrounded by a deck, carefully dismantle parts of the decking to access the hot tub or carefully work around the decking.
• For inground hot tubs, you may need to dig around the sides to expose the shell or frame that holds the tub in place.
• Cut and cap off any plumbing or electrical lines connected to the spa to prevent electrical hazards or water flooding. 
• You can attempt to lift the hot tub out or it may need to be broken into manageable pieces using a sledgehammer or a reciprocating saw.

Given the physical demands and complexity of this task, consider hiring professionals like Simp’s Junk Removal to do all the labor and hauling for you!
