Hot tub removal

Hot Tub Removal

Serving Mesa, the East Valley and the Phoenix metro with upfront pricing.

Portable spas and hot tubs taken out whole when the gate allows, cut down when it does not, carried out and hauled away with the panels, plumbing and cover. Price confirmed from photos before we cut anything.

A hot tub that no longer runs is 600 pounds of shell and plumbing on your patio, and it will not fit through the side gate in one piece. Haulo brings the tools and the crew: we drain what is left if needed, break the tub down to pieces that will pass the gate, carry them out and load them. The pad is left bare and swept.

We do this across Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale and Phoenix, with same-day service every day.

What this service handles

Freestanding and portable spas, plus the panels, cover, steps and loose equipment that go with them.

  • Acrylic and rotomolded portable spas
  • Wood-panel and cabinet-style hot tubs
  • Swim spas and large multi-seat units
  • Inflatable and soft-sided spas
  • Covers, cover lifters, steps and loose pumps or heaters
  • Removal from patios, decks, pool decks and side yards
  • Cut-down when the unit cannot pass a gate whole
  • Trailer haul-away and pad sweep

What we cannot take, and what we assess first

Two different lists. The first is a hard no; the second just needs a photo and a sentence before we confirm.

We cannot take

  • Live electrical — the spa circuit must be switched off and the unit disconnected before we arrive
  • Pool chemicals and chlorine left with the unit
  • In-ground or gunite spas — that is concrete demolition, not hot tub removal

We assess first

  • Paint — we can usually take it, but send a photo of the cans first
  • Units built into a deck, recessed or surrounded by permanent material — we need photos of how it sits
  • Gas-heated units and hardwired equipment — tell us the disconnection status
  • Water still in the tub — drain it if you can; if not, say so and we plan for it
  • Long or narrow routes to the street: a photo of the gate and the path helps

What hot tub removal costs

Hot tub removal is a fixed-scope job, priced from your photos and confirmed before we start. What moves it is access and construction:

  • Whether the tub can leave whole or has to be cut down
  • Gate width, steps, retaining walls and the carry distance to the trailer
  • Unit size — a swim spa is a different job from a four-seater
  • Whether it is recessed in a deck or surrounded by hardscape
  • Water still in the unit, or equipment still connected

Typical range: $350–$500 for cut-down, haul and disposal, depending on size and access. Have a budget? Say so — we would rather work with it than lose the job. Send the photos and you get one number for the whole removal. Typical ranges for common jobs are on the pricing page; they are planning examples, not quotes.

How hot tub removal works

  1. 01

    Send photos and access details

    Text photos of the spa from a couple of sides, the equipment panel, and the route to the street. Say whether the power is disconnected and the water drained.

  2. 02

    We confirm the scope, the price and an arrival window

    We reply with a price and a window, and tell you whether it will come out whole or in pieces.

  3. 03

    The crew removes the agreed items and cleans up

    The crew disconnects nothing live, breaks the unit down as agreed, carries it out, loads it and sweeps the pad.

What happens to the hot tub

The shell, cabinet and plumbing go to a licensed disposal facility; metal frames, heaters and pumps are separated for recovery where a facility accepts them. A working spa in good condition is sometimes worth listing before you call us — we will say so if the photos suggest it.

Hot tub removal questions

Do I need to drain it first?
It helps, and it keeps the price down. If you cannot, tell us how much water is in it and we plan for it.
Who disconnects the power?
The spa breaker should be switched off and the unit disconnected before we arrive, by you or an electrician. We do not work on live electrical.
Will it fit through my side gate?
Most will not in one piece. We cut the tub down on the patio into sections that pass the gate, then carry them out. A photo of the gate with something for scale tells us in advance.
Do you take the cover, steps and the old heater?
Yes, all of it goes on the same load.
Can you take a swim spa?
Yes. It takes longer to cut down and more trailer space; the price reflects that and is confirmed from the photos.
What about the concrete pad or the deck it sits on?
Removing the pad is concrete work and removing the deck is light demolition; both are separate services we can quote alongside the tub if you want them gone too.
