Let’s Be Honest — That Old Spa Isn’t Relaxing Anymore

Most homeowners wait too long. The shell fills with foam and moisture. Mice move in. Sometimes rats. I’ve cut open tubs where twenty mice jumped out at once. Another time, I almost cut a cat and an opossum in half that were living in the insulation.

They chew through hoses and wiring. The spa leaks. The foam traps everything. You can’t even find where it’s broken. And the smell? You already know.

“By the time people call me, it’s not a spa. It’s a rodent condo with bubbles.”

DIY Hot Tub Removal — The Fastest Way to Ruin a Weekend

Cutting through fiberglass looks easy online. It’s not. That stuff gets in your skin, itches for days, and flies into your eyes. I wear full PPE suits, respirators, safety goggles, and use fiberglass-safe blades. You don’t want that dust in your lungs. Trust me.

Every week someone calls me halfway through a job: “Hey Serge, can you finish this? We didn’t know what we were doing.” Happens all the time.

DIY hot tub removal costs more when you call me after you’ve already made a mess. It’s faster — and safer — to let pros do it right from the start.

Here’s How We Actually Remove It

• Disconnect power — no guesswork, no sparks.
• Drain it clean — no sludge left behind.
• Cut into sections using fiberglass-safe blades. Controlled, no flying debris.
• Recycle parts: pumps, motors, circuit boards, wiring — all separated and handled properly.
• Salvage what’s reusable: spa covers, siding panels, hardware if still solid.
• Landfill only what must go: the fiberglass shell and foam insulation.
• Carry out carefully: no fence hits, no gate scrapes, no deck dents.
• Sweep up. Leave it cleaner than we found it.

“Most hot tubs were craned in. We cut them so clean, we can walk them out without touching the gate.”

Average Time: About 1.5 Hours Start to Finish

That includes cutting, loading, and cleanup. Not an all-day project. Not a weekend killer. One job, done right, in less time than it takes to watch a game and order pizza.

We Don’t Just Remove Spas — We Protect Your Property

When we haul out, we make sure nothing gets damaged. Fences, house corners, gates — everything stays intact. Sometimes we need to make extra cuts to fit the spa through tight spaces. Every move is planned.

That’s what separates TCJ Hauling from “guys with a truck.” It’s precision, not muscle.

Real Safety. Real Tools. Real Results.

We use the right tools for every cut. Special blades for fiberglass. Full masks for insulation dust. Gloves and goggles. It’s not optional. Fiberglass can cause serious skin irritation and eye injury. I’ve had clients try it themselves and quit after ten minutes. We finish what others start — safely.
