Over 21 million households in the US reap the benefits of owning a hot tub, spa, or pool as of 2015. According to experts, hot tubs last between 5 to 20 years, depending on the quality of materials used and the care it receives over time. These statistics suggest that many people need hot tub removal services at some point.
Why would you want to remove the hot tub? Hot tubs are bulky and occupy a significant space. Consider removing the tub to use the space it occupies for something else. Old hot tubs that are no longer in use are an eyesore and compromise on the general hygiene of your home. They make breeding grounds for insects like mosquitoes, rodents, among other unwanted things.
Hiring a Junk Removal Company or DIY
The removal process needs expertise. While using a hot tub is relaxing and fun, removing them is not. The item is bulky and requires different tools to lift safely. If not careful, removing a hot tub can cause accidents from possible breakage. Plumbing and electrical works done when installing the hot tub will need an expert in the field to remove.

Transporting the removed hot tub, whether whole or pieces need special trucks. You may also get stuck on how to load the removed hot tub to the vehicle transporting it. And, your family car is not an ideal transport means for the hot tub. Unless you are in the junk removal business, you may have to hire an appropriate vehicle to transport the hot tub after removal.
