Hot tub removal in Whittier

Hot tub removal in Whittier means Louie takes out the old tub that has sat in the backyard too long and hauls it away. He does the work himself in Whittier and the surrounding LA and Orange County cities. Call or text (562) 781-9101 for a price. A hot tub is one heavy, bulky shell. It also tends to sit in the hardest spot on the property to reach, often behind the house past a side gate.

Many calls come from homeowners whose tub stopped heating years ago and now just takes up the patio. Others come from people getting a house ready to sell and from property managers clearing a rental yard before the next tenant moves in. Jacuzzis come out the same way, and the cover and the steps can ride on the same load. Nothing has to be dragged out front first.

Louie is based in Whittier and works every LA and Orange County town on his list around it, from Norwalk and Downey to Fullerton, Brea and La Habra Heights. He prices every tub himself after hearing where it sits and how wide the gate is. He also removes sheds, so when the old shed next to the tub has to go too, his shed removal work handles that corner of the yard.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: yard waste, sheds and hot tubs.

Why a hot tub is its own kind of job

A hot tub comes out in one big lift. The whole shell has to come out together, and it almost never sits next to the driveway. It might be tucked in the back corner of the yard or framed into a wood deck.

So the job turns on two things. How big the tub is, and the path from where it sits to the truck. A narrow side gate or a step down off the patio changes how the tub comes out. A tub framed into a wood deck comes out a different way than one sitting on a slab at ground level, and Louie asks about that before he gives a number. A small two-person jacuzzi and a big family spa are different jobs, and Louie prices them that way.

Who calls to get rid of an old jacuzzi

Plenty of these calls start the same way. The tub hasn't held water in years and the family wants the yard back for a patio table. Someone selling a house wants the dead tub gone before the photos. A landlord or property manager wants it out of a rental yard between tenants.

Some calls are about a parent's house after a move, where the tub is the last big thing left out back. Louie handles all of those the same way. He looks at where the tub sits and gives one number before anything gets loaded. If a manager is the one setting up the job, Louie works the timing out with that person directly.

Where an old hot tub ends up

Louie sends usable things to a local donation center first. A hot tub load is more than the shell. The cover and the steps come out of the yard on the same trip, and each piece goes through that order on its own.

When it can't be donated, parts get recycled when possible. Whatever is left after that goes to the landfill. Patio chairs hauled on the same trip follow it too, donation first, then recycling, then the landfill. So does the old shed next to the tub when it goes out on the same load.

What hot tub removal costs

Louie gives one number for the whole job. It's set by how much room the tub and anything going with it take up on the truck, and it doesn't change once it's loaded. The minimum is $120.

Two add-ons can come up on a hot tub. A tub on an upstairs deck or balcony adds +$25. A tub that sits more than 50 feet from where the truck parks adds +$50 for the carry over 50 feet. Louie names either one before the work starts. Those are the only add-ons he lists. The quote is free, and senior and military discounts are offered, so ask Louie about them. Bigger loads are priced the same way, and what junk removal costs around Whittier shows how.

How Louie gets a hot tub out of the yard

Louie usually works alone and brings a small crew when a job needs more hands. He walks the path first, from the tub to the street, and checks the gate width and any steps along the way. Then the tub comes out, along with the cover and the steps, and goes onto a truck and a 6 x 12 x 4 hydraulic dump trailer.

He's open 24/7 and books an hour window. In his own words it's a 24 hour turn around, and same-day work happens when the schedule allows. At a rental or a home with HOA rules, Louie can coordinate the visit with the manager so the gate is open. Call or text (562) 781-9101 to set it up.

What stays behind after the tub is gone

The concrete pad under the tub stays put. Louie doesn't take concrete or dirt, so a slab, a broken-up pad or loose fill that would need to be shoveled up is not part of this job.

Leftover spa chemicals stay too. The bottles of chlorine and other treatment chemicals by the tub count as hazardous materials, and Louie refuses those along with paint, fuel and asbestos. Set them aside before he arrives so they don't end up in the pile by mistake. Louie also takes the rest of the hot tubs, jacuzzis and other bulky backyard items people want gone.
