An average hot tub weighs between 500 and 900 pounds empty — before the water you forgot to drain. This is not a Saturday project with friends.
The weight problem
A typical backyard hot tub holds 300 to 500 gallons; a gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds. If your tub is still full, that's up to 4,000 pounds of dead weight.
The electrical reality
A hot tub runs on 220 volts and needs to be properly de-energized by a licensed electrician before removal begins.
The solution: cut it into sections on site
Professional crews cut the shell and cabinet into sections small enough to carry through a standard gate. Most tubs leave in 6-10 pieces in 60-90 minutes.
How to get an accurate estimate
Photos are the key: one of the full tub, one of the gate or narrowest exit, one of what's around the tub.
