One of the biggest reasons people invest in hot tubs is to reduce stress.

 
Scientific studies have shown that hot tubs provide health benefits such as reducing stress hormone cortisone. But they also pose certain health risks such as spreading germs, which is why some families decide to remove hot tubs when they move into a new home. For some families the upkeep of their once enjoyable hot tub is too costly. Other families replace them with more modern models such as 3D hot tubs. Even though it may seem stressful to remove a hot tub, calling Junk King makes it easy.
 

 

Lifespan of Hot Tubs

 
Today there are nearly 6 million hot tubs in U.S. households, which amounts to nearly 5 percent of homes across the nation. While most hot tubs are owned by families, a small percentage are owned by condominiums and apartments. A hot tub costs in the range of $5,000 to $16,000, making it a luxury add-on for homeowners. Worldwide there are about 26 million hot tubs.

The average lifespan of a hot tub is 5 to 20 years, depending on its quality and how well it’s maintained. The warranty can be an indicator of the lifespan, but not always, since it’s possible to extend durability with regular care. Cheap hot tubs only last about five years due to being made from inexpensive materials that degrade quickly.

Failing to fix a crack or leak early on can lead to excessive water loss and increasing damage. Mid-grade hot tubs tend to last about ten years before wear and tear becomes evident. Hot tubs made of high quality materials that get regular cleaning and maintenance can actually last longer than a few decades.

Ways for making Hot Tubs Disposal easy by hiring Junk King experts

 
The best way to prepare for hot tub removal is to discuss the project with Junk King, which follows a best practices checklist. You’ll find from learning about the removal process that it’s easier to let experienced professionals handle it than the DIY method. Here are some of the ways Junk King takes the stress out of hot tub removal:

• Showing up with proper safety gear, tools and equipment
• Using skills and tools to disassemble the tub and its skirt
• Loading and hauling away debris

By working with Junk King you don’t have to worry about all the complex issues involved with the DIY method, such as renting a big truck. You won’t have to make multiple trips to the dump. If you are thinking about removing a tub for the first time, consider the safety issues. There are risks of injury and damaging your property, which insurance may not cover. Furthermore, while a DIY project can save money, it probably won’t save time.
 

Why Junk King is the Safer Option

 
Junk King hires experienced experts at removing all kinds of large appliances, furniture and construction debris. The company prioritizes safety first when it comes to removing any large item. Safety issues involved with removing a hot tub include working with power, gas and water lines. The labor can cause muscle strain for people who don’t prepare properly.

Adding to the complexity is that not all junkyards will accept old hot tubs. You can’t just leave parts at your curb and expect local garbage collectors to accept them. But when you work with Junk King, all of these problems disappear as your hot tub is removed the easiest and quickest way possible.

Junk King works with recyclers and knows where to send junk for proper disposal or recycling. So instead of taking a unit apart yourself and wondering what to do with the pieces, Junk King takes care of the entire removal process. During the past decade many communities across the United States have moved toward Zero Waste initiatives and Landfill Diversion goals. Consequently, it’s no longer easy for businesses or consumers to get rid of certain old junk. Yet Junk King still makes it easy for you.
