Albemarle Moving and Junk Removal removes hot tubs and spas throughout Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and Central Virginia. Hot tubs almost never leave in one piece — they are too large for standard gates and too heavy to move intact. Our crew handles the full process: draining, disconnecting, cutting down on-site, and hauling every piece away. Call 434-230-4551 for a firm estimate. Open 24/7.
The Hot Tub Removal Process
- Call us with the details. Size, whether it is drained, and backyard access. We give you a firm price on the spot or after a quick photo.
- We arrive and disconnect. Power off at the breaker, disconnect electrical connection, cap it safely. Disconnect water lines.
- We drain if needed. Drain goes to lawn or garden — never a storm drain.
- We demolish on-site. Using reciprocating saws and angle grinders, we cut the shell, cabinet, and frame into sections small enough to carry through the gate. Most hot tubs yield 8 to 12 sections.
- We load and clear. Every piece goes directly to the truck. We sweep the area after.
- You pay when it is done. No deposit, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hot tub removal cost in Charlottesville?
Hot tub removal in Charlottesville typically costs $400 to $800 depending on the size of the spa, backyard access, and whether it still holds water. Call 434-230-4551 with the hot tub dimensions and access situation for a firm estimate.
Can you remove a hot tub from a fenced backyard?
Yes. This is the most common scenario. We demolish the hot tub on-site, cutting it into sections with reciprocating saws and angle grinders, then carry the pieces through the gate. A standard 36-inch gate is sufficient.
Do I need to drain the hot tub first?
It helps but is not required. Draining before we arrive saves time. Drain to a lawn or garden area, not a storm drain.
How long does hot tub removal take?
Most residential hot tub removals take 2 to 4 hours from arrival to cleared yard.
