If your spa is broken, leaking, or taking up space you want back, we take it apart on site and carry every piece out ourselves.
Signs You Need Your Hot Tub Removed
It's time when the spa no longer works, costs more to repair than it's worth, or sits empty on the deck or in the yard. A cracked shell, a dead heater, or a rotting cabinet frame all point the same way.
Athens-Clarke gets only the occasional winter freeze, but each one moves the ground a little as it freezes and thaws. An empty tub left outside takes that cycle year after year, and a shell that is already cracked only gets worse.
Worth comparing with shed removal. Searching for junk removal in Athens-Clarke County? Our home page covers it.

How We Scope the Job Site
We look at the size of the spa and how it sits on your property, then plan the path from the tub to our dumpster trailer. We want a clear route before any cutting starts, so cabinet pieces and the shell can be carried out without scraping through landscaping or fences.
How We Dismantle the Spa and the Equipment We Use
We work in a respirator and eye protection. We dismantle the cabinet frame first, then pull out the foam insulation and every other remaining component.
Once the tub is down to manageable pieces, we separate the recoverable metal components from the shell and other debris. Everything goes straight into the dumpster trailer parked at your property, so nothing is left stacked in your yard.
What Above-Ground Hot Tub Removal Costs
Above-ground hot tub removal typically runs $225 to $450.
Demolition Permits and Historic Properties
If the tub is coming out as part of tearing down a structure, a demolition permit has to be secured before work begins, and utilities must be cut off and capped at the street. Designated historic properties also need a certificate of appropriateness. If your job involves either, we build that into the schedule.
Details of the Work
Concretely, a few of the specifics:
- Have a licensed electrician disconnect the hardwired 240-volt supply, then verify the tub is de-energized before cutting.
- Drain the tub through its drain port using a garden hose, and remove water remaining in the footwell with a wet/dry vacuum.
