Hot Tub & Spa Removal

Hot tubs and spas drained, cut down on site and hauled away in a single visit, typically in two to four hours.

The Junkiez provides same-day hot tub & spa removal across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Hot tubs and spas drained, cut down on site and hauled away in a single visit, typically in two to four hours.

A hot tub is not a thing you move; it is a thing you dismantle. A dry six-person spa runs 700–900 pounds, the acrylic shell is bonded to a fibreglass and foam substrate, and it almost never fits back through the gate it came in by. We drain it, disconnect it, cut it into carryable sections with a reciprocating saw and take the whole thing out in one visit.

How the removal actually goes

First we drain it, which takes 45–90 minutes for a full tub depending on your hose and where the water can safely go. Then we cut power at the disconnect, separate the equipment bay, and cut the shell into sections that two people can carry. Total time is usually two to four hours. You do not need to do anything beforehand except make sure we can get to it.

The electrical connection

Most tubs are on a dedicated 240V circuit with a GFCI disconnect. We can disconnect at the spa panel, but if the wiring needs to be removed back to the main panel or the circuit made safe and capped, that is licensed electrician work. Have that lined up if you want the whole circuit gone; otherwise we leave the disconnect capped and safe.

Draining without flooding a neighbour

Spa water contains chlorine or bromine and cannot simply be run into a storm drain — in most Southern California jurisdictions that is a stormwater violation, since storm drains go to the ocean untreated. We drain to a sewer clean-out or a landscaped area where the volume can be absorbed, after letting sanitiser levels drop where time allows.

Getting a price

Free on-site quote. You only pay if you say go. We quote on site before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Stairs, long carries, disassembly and heavy items are all included. Text a photo to 888-910-8809 and we can usually give you a number within a few minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to drain it first?

No, we handle draining. If you can drain it beforehand it saves an hour and can reduce the price.

Do you cut it up on site?

Yes. That is the only realistic way to get most tubs out, and we bring the saws for it.

Can you remove the deck around it too?

Yes — decking, steps, surrounds and gazebos can all go in the same visit.

What customers say

My mother had let things get out of hand and I was dreading the whole process. They came in an unmarked truck, never made a single comment, and asked before removing anything that was not obviously rubbish. Took four days and they never once rushed her.

Verified customer Los Angeles

I called about one old fridge and they told me my utility would collect it free and pay me for it. They talked themselves out of a job. When I needed a full garage cleared two months later I did not call anyone else.

Six-person spa behind a narrow side gate. Two other companies looked at it and passed. These guys drained it, cut it into sections and had the patio swept by 4pm. The price they quoted on arrival was the price I paid.
