Hot Tub Moving FAQs
Do you handle both standard hot tubs and swim spas?
Yes. We move all types of spas—from compact plug-and-play units to full-size swim spas.
Can you lift a hot tub off a raised deck?
Yes. We often use ramps or cranes depending on the elevation and available space.
Will I need a permit for a crane move?
Possibly. If a crane is required and access includes public property, we’ll help coordinate the necessary permits.
How do I prepare my hot tub before the move?
Drain it completely, disconnect all power lines, and clear the path from spa to street. We’ll help guide you through the steps in advance.
Can you move hot tubs through narrow gates or tight yards?
Yes. We bring spa dollies and pivot tools designed for narrow access areas.
What happens if my spa is sunken or built-in?
We’ll assess the structure and advise if a crane, lift system, or deck removal is needed.
Are spa moves insured?
Yes. Every move includes full-value protection and our team is WSIB-certified.
How long does the average move take?
Standard hot tub moves take 2–3 hours. Built-in or remote-location moves may take longer.
Do you move spas year-round?
Yes, weather permitting. We work through most seasons and will confirm if freezing conditions may delay scheduling.
Do you reconnect hot tubs at the new location?
We place the spa exactly where needed, but you’ll need a licensed technician to reconnect power or plumbing.
