How it works
How hot tub removal works in Metro Detroit
-
Send photos when you book
Photos of the tub, access path, and any landscaping help us estimate the crew size and truck space.
-
Drain the tub (we can or you can)
If the tub still holds water, we drain it before disassembly. Pre-drained tubs save 30–60 minutes.
-
Disconnect power and lines
Power, gas (if applicable), and water lines are disconnected. Hard-wired panel work isn't included; we coordinate with an electrician if needed.
-
Cut down on-site
Our crew brings reciprocating saws and cuts the shell into manageable sections so we can carry the pieces through gates and around landscaping without crane or fence removal.
-
Carry-out and haul
Pieces are loaded onto the truck. Deck-friendly protection is laid where we walk.
-
Disposal
Acrylic, fiberglass, and wood components go to appropriate recycling and disposal facilities. Old equipment (pumps, heaters) is recycled when intact.
-
Final sweep
We rake or sweep the area where the tub sat. You sign off and pay the on-site quote.
A hot tub is built to last 15+ years. The downside is, when one finally stops working, it’s still built to last 15+ years — and that toughness is what makes removal a real job.
We bring crews who do hot tub teardowns regularly. We drain, cut, carry, and haul — usually in a single afternoon. Your deck stays intact, your fence stays up, and the spa goes away.

Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.

Got a same-day appointment to take a hot tub out of my backyard. Crew was strong, careful with my fence, and left the area cleaner than they found it.
