Hot Tub Moving Is Not a DIY Job
It’s a common mistake to underestimate what it takes to move a hot tub safely. Unlike standard household items, hot tubs present a unique combination of challenges that make them one of the most difficult items to relocate without professional help. A standard hot tub can weigh anywhere from 500 to over 1,000 pounds when empty, spans several feet in every direction, and must be carefully maneuvered through gates, around landscaping, across uneven terrain, and onto a transport vehicle — all without damaging the unit, the surrounding property, or the people involved in the move.
Attempting to move a hot tub without the right equipment and experience puts your investment, your property, and your safety at serious risk. Cracked shells, damaged plumbing components, broken jets, and injuries are common consequences of hot tub moves that are attempted without proper preparation and professional support.
At Jones Moving & Storage, our hot tub moving specialists have the training, purpose-built equipment, and hands-on experience to relocate your hot tub safely and efficiently — protecting your investment and your property every step of the way.
Our Hot Tub Moving Process
Moving a hot tub successfully requires a structured, methodical approach that accounts for the weight, size, and specific logistical challenges of your property and your destination. Our process is designed to eliminate risk and deliver a smooth, damage-free hot tub relocation from start to finish.
Step 1 — Free Consultation & Assessment We begin with a thorough consultation to understand the specifics of your hot tub move. We discuss the make, model, and dimensions of your hot tub, its current location on your property, the destination, any access challenges such as gates, fencing, steps, or landscaping, and the overall timeline of your relocation. This information allows us to develop an accurate quote and a detailed moving plan specific to your hot tub and your property.
Step 2 — Custom Move Planning Every hot tub move is planned in advance. We assess your property’s access points, pathways, terrain, and any obstacles that could complicate the move. We determine the right equipment, crew size, and approach for your specific hot tub and location — so that nothing is improvised or left to chance on moving day.
Step 3 — Safe Disconnection & Preparation Before your hot tub is moved, it must be properly prepared for transport. Our team ensures the unit is fully drained, disconnected from its electrical supply, and prepared in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to prevent damage to the plumbing, jets, and internal components during the move.
Step 4 — Specialized Equipment & Safe Maneuvering Our hot tub moving team uses purpose-built equipment — including heavy-duty dollies, skid boards, moving straps, and protective padding — to safely maneuver your hot tub across your property and onto the transport vehicle. Every movement is carefully coordinated to protect the hot tub’s shell, components, and finish, as well as your property’s landscaping, fencing, and hardscape surfaces.
Step 5 — Secure Transport Once loaded onto the transport vehicle, your hot tub is carefully secured using professional strapping and bracing techniques that prevent any movement or shifting during transit. We take every precaution to ensure your hot tub arrives at its destination in the same condition it left.
Step 6 — Careful Delivery & Placement Upon arrival at the destination, our team carefully unloads your hot tub and maneuvers it into its designated position with the same precision and care used during loading. We place your hot tub exactly where you want it, taking care to protect the surrounding property throughout the delivery and placement process.
