Why Move My Hot Tub?
If you enjoy the benefits of your hot tub or spa, but are stressed about making it part of your move, Professional Movers.com is here to help. Hot tubs are one of the bulkiest items and often one of the most commonly requested items we are asked to move. After all, your hot tub represents a sizable investment and leaving it behind for someone else to enjoy would be a shame.
Due to the tremendous weight of a hot tub, technical skill needed to safely drain and disconnect it from electric sources, plus it’s extreme sensitivity to jostling movements, moving a hot tub requires careful planning. That’s where Professional Movers.com comes in, as a specialist in hot tub relocation, we provide the proper planning, preparation, brainpower, and muscle to make sure it is transported safely to your new home. Our Moving Consultants and move teams have relocated hundreds of hot tubs throughout Michigan. We have devised, developed, and carried out some of the most grueling projects. Let our Moving Consultant provide you with a move plan and estimate that takes the uncertainty and complication out of your upcoming hot tub relocation.
The first step to a successful Hot Tub Relocation will require a visit from one of our Moving Consultants to perform a pre-move survey. Our Moving Consultant can visit your current home, perform a virtual survey, or you can text the details and pictures of your hot tub move to us at 248-926-9999. Your Moving Consultant will answer questions and identify key information about the move that will help us prepare the proper equipment and manpower to complete the relocation.
During the Pre-Move Survey We Will Review the Following:
The Hot Tub Make & Model
The construction of a hot tub can vary greatly, so our Moving Consultant will want to identify the dealer or manufacturer. We will then review and identify the equipment pack, including the heater, filters, pump, blower, electrical and plumbing units. This will provide the Moving Consultant with the ability to research and see if the dealer recommends removing the equipment pack, draining it, and packing it into a separate box. Conversely, for some hot tub models, it is recommended that the equipment pack be left attached to the shell of the hot tub. All of this information can be obtained with a phone call to the manufacturer or dealer.
Identify Possible Obstructions
Our Moving Consultant will identify the current and new location where the hot tub will be delivered. He will look for possible obstructions including the deck railing, the grade of the backyard and side yard, and any landscaping that could interfere with the loading or delivery of the hot tub. Pictures of the origin and destination can be texted to 248-926-9999 to expediate the estimate process. Once we have this information; we will be able to build a move plan, making sure to reserve the right equipment and manpower for your specific hot tub move.
It is possible that our Moving Consultant will see potential issues or hazards that would make moving your hot tub overly challenging and could result in damage to your property or hot tub. If so, he will advise you of any potential moving methods that we could utilize in an attempt to mitigate damages. On hot tub moves that are deemed overly challenging or high risk, the Moving Consultant will ask you to sign a waiver form prior to the move. The waiver form is a document that confirms that you have been informed of possible damages to your property or hot tub and that Professional Movers.com would not be held responsible for any damages that may occur during the relocation of your hot tub.
Current Condition, Weight, and Valuation
Our Moving Consultant will review the current condition of your hot tub and identify any areas of wear or concern. The weight of the hot tub will help determine the number of movers and equipment that may be required to lift or position the hot tub during pick-up and delivery. Also, it is important to note that Professional Movers.com is limited to .60 cents per pound per article unless a higher released value is declared in writing by you prior to the move. Please review our Liability and Valuation Options and ask your Moving Consultant about additional valuation coverage.
Drain Review
Your Moving Consultant will confirm that your hot tub is drained or will inform you that it will need to be completely drained prior to your move. If you do not have experience draining it yourself, you can either call the dealer to make arrangements or obtain instructions on doing it yourself. Most hot tubs are equipped with a hose bibb drain that attaches directly to a garden hose. Draining a hot tub without using a pump can take up to 4-6 hours, so please plan ahead. After draining, a hot tub typically still contains about five or six gallons of water. You should use a wet-dry vacuum to remove the remaining water so it does not spill and damage your surrounding carpeting and/or floor during the move.
Review Your Move Date
The season that you choose to move your hot tub can greatly affect the preparation and planning for your move. For instance, the condition of the ground will make a big difference in how the hot tub is removed or delivered. When the ground is soft, your Moving Consultant may recommend that we use 3/4 “plywood to build a walkway to and from your hot tub. Also, if you are moving when freezing temperatures are possible during the move, the entire plumbing system should be drained by a high-pressure vacuum. This will eliminate potential damage to the pipes. You should not attempt to do this yourself. Instead, it is recommended that you contact your hot tub dealer to assist in these services. The summer months are our busiest, so it is important to plan ahead. We typically book a month out during our peak season.
Truck and Equipment Assessment
Each hot tub move contains a unique set of challenges. Our Moving Consultant will reserve the appropriate equipment and truck or spa dolly trailer to transport your particular hot tub. Your hot tub may be transported using a moving trailer, flatbed trailer, or spa dolly trailer. All of Professional Movers.com moving trucks are equipped with air suspension to ensure the safest ride for your hot tub.
Your Hot Tub Moving Estimate
Once your Moving Consultant receives all the details listed above, you will be sent a move estimate for your hot tub. Your move estimate includes a detailed outline of pricing based on the size of your hot tub, the distance between locations, and how many movers are needed. Additional notes will included your responsibilities, such as, removing all items on top and around the hot tub before the move team arrives. Once your have reviewed your move estimate, you will be asked to e-sign to reserve your target move date.
How We Move Your Hot Tub
Our move team will arrive at your location ready to assess the situation and determine the best course of action. Once your Team Lead has determined the location of your hot tub, the team will prepare any necessary equipment needed for the move. Our Spa Dolly is a key tool in relocating most hot tubs. This specially designed dolly allows us to maneuver your hot tub on its side, reducing the risk of damage during transportation.
The move team will start by preparing and protecting your hot tub for transportation. Once it is ready, it will be loaded onto the Spa Dolly. The team will find the best path to get your hot tub to the nearest open area, such as, a driveway or side street. Then, the hot tub is loaded onto the trailer portion of the Spa Dolly. The hot tub is secured using ratchet straps and the trailer is attached to the hitch of the cargo van. Any additional components and hot tub parts are loaded into the cargo van. Now your hot tub is ready to be transported to it’s new location.
The same process is used at the destination. The hot tub is removed from the hot tub trailer and placed exactly where you would like it using the Spa Dolly. Most hot tubs can be moved by two movers using the Spa Dolly, which saves your money on overall labor costs. Situations that include balconies, steep hills, or stairs will require more movers to ensure your hot tub is moved safely. Your Moving Consultant will uncover any of these obstacles beforehand, so we send out the correct amount of movers and equipment for every hot tub.
