Hot Tub & Spa Removal
Othoniel's Junk Removal Service removes hot tubs and spas, open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Hot tubs are a high-friction item — heavy, awkward to move, and usually requiring disassembly — which is why we handle them with a specialized crew rather than treating them like ordinary furniture.
Hot tubs and spas require draining, disassembly, and often specialized equipment to move safely, which is why this is a dedicated service rather than folded into general furniture removal. [CONFIRM WITH OWNER: draining requirements — does the customer need to drain the tub before the crew arrives, or does the crew handle it on-site?]
A typical hot tub removal involves stripping the outer cabinet paneling, disconnecting the shell from any surrounding decking, and cutting the shell into sections small enough to carry out — considerably more involved than moving a piece of furniture, which is why we like to see a photo or hear a quick description of your setup before quoting the job.
