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.

Hot Tub Movers for Ohio Backyards

A hot tub is a big, awkward shell that weighs hundreds of pounds even when it is empty, and it rarely sits somewhere easy to reach. Most are tucked behind the house, past a gate, down a slope or up on a deck. Moving one takes planning, the right equipment, and enough people to control it the whole way. Our crews move hot tubs between homes and around the same property, and it is one of the jobs covered by our heavy item movers.

What You Handle Before Move Day

We move the tub, not the wiring. Before our crew arrives, the tub needs to be fully drained and the power shut off and disconnected by your electrician. Most hot tubs run on a dedicated circuit, and that work belongs to a licensed professional, not a moving crew. Let the tub sit open for a day after draining so leftover water can dry out of the footwell, and take off the cover and steps. If the tub is built into a deck or sits under a gazebo, tell us early, since part of that structure may need to come off first.

How We Move a Hot Tub

We measure the route from the tub to the truck before move day, including gate widths, side yards, steps and soft ground. On the day, the crew tips the tub onto its side and onto a hot tub cart, a low dolly built for that weight and shape. On edge, a tub needs far less width, which is often what gets it through a narrow side yard. We lay ramps and plywood across lawns and steps, then load and strap the tub in the truck. At the new home we set it on the level, prepared base you have ready, usually a concrete pad or a reinforced deck, and leave the hookup to your electrician.

Hot Tub Moving Across Dayton and Cincinnati

Our movers based in Dayton and our Cincinnati moving team handle hot tubs on their own or on the same day as your house move. If the game room has a slate table too, our pool table moving crew can take it in one trip. Every mover is a Dow employee and every job is insured.

These guys were on time, professional, friendly, and very efficient. We could not have asked for a better crew for a 12 hour moving day. They never complained and just stayed focused on getting everything done. They protected our furniture, pictures, and the walls and floor of our brand new house.I highly recommend Dow for an exceptional moving process.
They did a great job moving some very heavy furniture, would definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the recommendation! Heavy furniture is where a careful crew really earns its keep, and we're glad everything made it safely. We truly appreciate you choosing Dow Moving for your Dayton move. Dow Moving, Customer Service

Hot Tub Movers FAQs

How far ahead should I drain my hot tub before the move?

Arrow Down

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.

Will your crew disconnect the hot tub's electrical?

Arrow Down

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.

What kind of base does a hot tub need at the new house?

Arrow Down

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.

Can you move a hot tub to a different spot in the same yard?

Arrow Down

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.

Is it safe to move a hot tub in the winter?

Arrow Down

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.
