Hot Tub Moving Services

The construction of a hot tub can vary greatly, so our Moving Consultant will want to identify the dealer or manufacturer. He will then review and identify the equipment pack, including the heater, filters, pump, blower, electrical and plumbing units. This will provide the Moving Consultant with the ability to research and see if the dealer recommends removing the equipment pack, draining it, and packing it into a separate box. Conversely, for some hot tub models, it is recommended that the equipment pack be left attached to the shell of the hot tub. All of this information can be obtained with a phone call to the manufacturer or dealer.

Our Moving Consultant will identify the current and new location where the hot tub will be delivered. He will look for possible obstructions including the deck railing, the grade of the backyard and side yard, and any landscaping that could interfere with the loading or delivery of the hot tub. Once he has this information; he will be able to build a move plan, making sure to reserve the right equipment and manpower for your specific move. It is possible that our Moving Consultant will see potential issues or hazards that would make moving your hot tub overly challenging and could result in damage to your property or hot tub. If so, he will advise you of any potential moving methods that we could utilize in an attempt to mitigate damages. On hot tub moves that are deemed overly challenging or high risk, the Moving Consultant will ask you to sign a waiver form prior to the move. The waiver form is a document that confirms that you have been informed of possible damages to your property or hot tub and that Perfect Moving would not be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the relocation of your hot tub.

Our Moving Consultant will review the current condition of your hot tub and identify any areas of wear or concern. The weight of the Hot Tub will help determine the number of movers and equipment that may be required to lift or position the hot tub during pick-up and delivery. Also, it is important to note that Perfect Moving is limited to .60 cents per pound per article unless a higher released value is declared in writing by you prior to the move. For additional valuation options, you may purchase a separate relocation insurance policy through an approved 3rd party vendors.

Our Moving Consultant will confirm that your hot tub is drained or will inform you that it will need to be completely drained prior to your move. If you do not have experience draining it yourself, you can either call the dealer to make arrangements or obtain instructions on doing it yourself. Most hot tubs are equipped with a hose bibb drain that attaches directly to a garden hose. After draining, a hot tub typically still contains about five or six gallons of water. You should use a wet-dry vac to remove the remaining water so it does not spill and damage your surrounding carpeting and/or floor during the move.

The season that you choose to move your hot tub can greatly affect the preparation and planning for your move. For instance, the condition of the ground will make a big difference in how the hot tub is removed or delivered. When the ground is soft, our Moving Consultant may recommend that we use 3/4 “plywood to build a walkway to and from your hot tub. Also, if you are moving when freezing temperatures are possible during the move, the entire plumbing system should be drained by a high-pressure vacuum. This will eliminate potential damage to the pipes. You should not attempt to do this yourself. Instead, it is recommended that you contact your hot tub dealer to assist in these services.

As you have learned, each hot tub move contains a unique set of challenges. Our Moving Consultant will reserve the appropriate equipment and truck for your particular hot tub. Your hot tub may be transported using a moving trailer or a flatbed trailer. All of our moving trucks are equipped with air suspension to ensure the safest ride for your hot tub.
