How To Prepare a Hot Tub For Transport
Our dedicated specialists will identify a suitable trailer for transporting your hot tubs and process the paperwork for transport. Depending on whether your hot tub is already installed and needs to be moved to another location or whether it’s directly from the manufacturer. Below are some of the things we do to ensure they’re shipped safely and on time.
1. Disconnect the Hot Tub
If the hot tub is already connected, our qualified team disconnects it from the outlet. Next, they put the cord in a secure place to be used at the new location where it’s reinstalled. Finally, the cords are placed in waterproof baggies to prevent them from getting damaged or wet in the process of moving.
2. Drain the Hot Tub
After disconnecting the hot tub, we drain it carefully to prevent flooding or damaging your yard. Hot tubs must be drained by professionals who follow the manufacturer’s guide. We arrive equipped with pumps and garden hoses to help us pump the water into the nearest street gutters. After all the water is drained, we clean it using an all-purpose cleaner before packaging it for transport.
3. Load the Hot Tub On The Trailer
We cover hot tubs with bubble wraps, blankets, plastic foils, cardboard sheets, and other cushioning materials to protect them from scratches and bumps during transport. Our team then puts plywood under the hot tub to help move it smoothly. Once secured to the dollies, we carefully roll the hot tub towards the truck when it’s pushed up the ramp before securing it for transport. When we arrive at the delivery location, we carefully unload the hot tub, place it where you need it, unwrap it, reconnect it to the outlet, and fill it with water.
