Hot Tub Movers
We move drained, disconnected hot tubs through gates, side yards and slopes on a hot tub cart, then set them on the level base waiting at your new home.
Gates, slopes and narrow side yards are normal for hot tubs, and we plan around them before the truck arrives.
Hot tub carts, ramps, plywood and straps come on the truck, along with enough crew to keep control of the shell.
We move the tub and leave the electrical work to licensed electricians, so each part of the job is done right.
Your tub is moved by our own insured crew, never handed off to a subcontractor or a stranger with a trailer.

Plan to drain it a day or two ahead. Water left in the shell adds weight and sloshes when the tub is tipped on edge, which makes it harder to control. After draining, pull the filters, wipe out the footwell, and leave the cover off so the inside can dry. A submersible pump speeds the job up a lot compared with the built-in drain valve.
No. Shutting off the breaker and disconnecting the tub has to be done by your electrician before we arrive, and the same goes for hooking it back up at the new home. Book that work early, since electricians fill up fast in spring and summer. If the new spot does not have power run to it yet, plan for that before move day as well.
It needs a flat, level, solid surface that can carry the tub’s full weight once it is filled with water and people. Common choices are a poured concrete pad, a properly prepared paver or gravel base, or a deck built to hold that load. Check your tub maker’s guidance and talk to your contractor. We place the tub, but the base must be ready before we arrive.
Yes. Moving a tub from one side of the yard to a new patio, or off an old deck onto a fresh pad, is a common job for us. The prep is the same as a full move: the tub is drained, the power is disconnected by your electrician, and the new base is level and ready. It is usually a shorter job because there is no truck ride.
It can be done, but cold weather adds risk. Any water left in the pumps, heater or plumbing lines can freeze and crack them, so the tub needs to be drained thoroughly and the lines cleared, ideally by your hot tub service tech. Frozen or muddy ground also changes how we cross the yard, so we look at conditions closer to the date.
