A backyard hot tub can be a relaxing oasis—until it stops working, takes up too much space, or starts showing signs of serious wear. When that time comes, many homeowners in the Phoenix area turn to Junk Rescue AZ for fast, professional hot tub removal.
Removing a hot tub isn’t a simple DIY job. These units can weigh hundreds of pounds, involve electrical and plumbing components, and be difficult to cut down or haul away without the right tools. That’s why our team is trusted by homeowners throughout the Valley—we take the stress (and the hot tub) off your hands.
If you’re considering getting rid of your old spa, here’s exactly what you can expect when working with us.
Step 1: Schedule a Hassle-Free Quote
The first step is easy: reach out to us! You can call or submit a request through our online form to get started. We’ll ask a few simple questions:
- What size is your hot tub?
- Is it above-ground or built-in?
- Do you have easy access to the backyard?
- Are there any obstacles (gates, steps, landscaping)?
These details help us provide an accurate estimate and ensure we arrive prepared with the right tools and crew for the job.
Step 2: On-Site Assessment (If Needed)
For especially large or difficult projects, we may offer an on-site assessment before the removal date. This gives us a better idea of:
- Space limitations
- Electrical disconnections
- Drainage or structural challenges
In most cases, however, we’re able to provide a quote and schedule the removal without needing a pre-visit—saving you time and getting the job done faster.
Step 3: Professional Disconnection and Preparation
Before we begin removing your hot tub, our crew will ensure it’s fully disconnected and drained. If your hot tub is still wired to electricity or attached to plumbing, don’t worry—we can safely assist with:
- Disconnecting power (breaker panel access may be required)
- Draining water from the spa or tub
- Cutting connections to pumps or heaters
We take every precaution to ensure the process is safe and doesn’t damage surrounding areas like patios, decks, or fencing.
Step 4: Safe and Efficient Hot Tub Breakdown
Most hot tubs can’t be removed in one piece, especially if they’re large, built into decks, or surrounded by structures. That’s why we come equipped to cut down and dismantle the hot tub on-site.
Our team uses tools like saws and pry bars to break the unit into manageable pieces, including:
- The shell (fiberglass or acrylic)
- The frame and support structure
- Pumps, heaters, and electrical boxes
- Surrounding panels or decking (if requested)
Once everything is safely disassembled, we carefully load the debris into our trucks and clean the area afterward.

Step 5: Eco-Friendly Disposal
We don’t just haul junk to the landfill. Whenever possible, our team recycles and reuses components from your hot tub removal. That includes:
- Metal parts like pumps and wiring
- Treated or untreated wood from frames
- Plastics and insulation
- Electronic components and circuit boards
Our mission is to minimize environmental impact and support sustainability across the Phoenix area. You can feel good knowing your old hot tub won’t go to waste if it can be recycled or salvaged.
Step 6: Full Cleanup and Haul-Away
After the removal is complete, we don’t leave a mess behind. Our crew will sweep the area, gather all debris, and make sure your backyard or patio is clean and ready for its next purpose—whether it’s a garden, new entertainment space, or simply open yard.
From start to finish, we take care of everything so you don’t have to lift a finger.
