How to Remove an Old Hot Tub

Step-by-step

A practical plan for the job.

1. 1

   Disconnect utilities safely

   Electrical, gas and plumbing connections must be properly disconnected before removal work starts.

2. 2

   Photograph the full structure

   Show every side, the equipment area and whether the tub is freestanding, recessed or built into a deck.

3. 3

   Map the exit route

   Measure gates and photograph stairs, slopes, fences, landscaping and the path to truck parking.

4. 4

   Review dismantling needs

   Construction, access and material type determine whether the tub can move intact or must be cut down.
