Hot Tub Removal in Des Moines
Full hot tub removal across the Des Moines metro: drain, disconnect, dismantle, and haul. One flat-rate price.
What Is Hot Tub Removal?
Hot tub removal is the full process of getting an unwanted spa off your property. That means draining the water, disconnecting the electrical (if it's still wired), dismantling the shell, and hauling everything to the appropriate transfer station or recycler.
Hot tubs are heavy, awkward, and often surrounded by decking or fencing that has to be navigated. A typical four-person hot tub weighs 700 to 900 pounds dry and isn't designed to be moved in one piece. We bring the tools, the crew size, and the experience to do it without damaging your yard, deck, or fence.

On-Site Quote
Hot tubs are hard to quote from photos. We come out, look at the access, and give you a flat-rate price the same day.
Drain and Disconnect
We drain the water to your yard or a drain. If the tub is still wired, we recommend an electrician disconnect it first for safety.

Pieces go to the transfer station. Metal components are sorted for recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hot Tub Removal questions, answered.
Do I need to drain the hot tub first?
No. We handle the drain as part of the job. Just have a yard area or drain we can route water to.
Can you cut up a sunken hot tub?
Yes. Most sunken tubs can be cut into sections in place. Occasionally we need to open up decking to extract, which we'll quote up front.
What about the electrical?
If the tub is still wired, we recommend a licensed electrician disconnect it before our crew arrives. We can refer one if needed.
Do you remove the wood surround or gazebo too?
Yes. We can include surrounding decking, gazebos, or fencing in the quote. Just mention it when you call.
