Before you try to move a hot tub yourself, read this first!

By Darin Teeples


Perhaps you are relocating therefore you must move your hot tub as well. Maybe you have had that tub for years and now its time for you to dispose of it. Or you may be wanting to purchase a brand new hot tub because you just disposed of the old one. No matter what the reasons, you have to get a hot tub or spa moved.

Being a specialized spa and hot tub mover over the last few years, I've come across plenty of crazy predicaments not to mention come across almost every horror story imaginable about those that got a lot of their friends and tried to move a Jacuzzi or spa. Perhaps it's the thing comedy routines are made of. Nonetheless, it might be heart breaking, even unsafe for those who do not know what they're doing. Is it possible to picture the way you would probably feel if the hot tub was dropped and the shell got damaged? What happens if the hot tub slipped and fell on someone's toes? Suppose somebody hurt his or her lower back helping to lift up a 1,200-pound tub? Obviously, not every hot tubs weigh that much, but many of the larger tubs do. Without a doubt, in my opinion, you're better off to simply call a competent hot tub moving company.

There might be a number of hot tub moving companies where you live, or there may simply be two or three. Regardless you'll want to make sure you hire a company that makes use of the recommended gear, and has the ability to do the job correctly. So how do you find the right mover? We are going to discuss some of the methods of doing that in this article. First of all, I would recommend that you lookup the local online business directories. Businesses like Yelp and Merchant Circle will probably have company lists as well as feedback from people who have used the company you are researching. When trying to find out about a spa moving company, it's not good enough to just find a company that doesn't have any negative feedback. Of course, you wouldn't want a company other's have complained about, but there's even more.

Often directory listings won't tell the full story. Do you find yourself more prone to post something in regards to a business if you had a very negative experience, or will you be much more motivated to write about a positive experience? Everyone seems to be much more committed to get back at someone then to share something decent about a company. Think of it in this manner, is the evening news usually very good news or not so good? This is basically the same with Web-based opinions. Therefore, just simply because a mover includes a bad comment does not necessarily imply that a spa mover ought to be eliminated from the selection process. What you really want to look for would be the hot tub mover that has the most favorable remarks. This is a company that has impressed enough individuals to inspire them to want to publish positive feedback on the Internet. However even then, you should not generally assume there has to be hundreds of positive remarks. Commonly, there may simply be a handful even with regard to an outstanding company. When I take a look at online opinions, I give reviews that are positive ten times as much credit then bad reviews. Any business which provides service to the general public for just about any stretch of time will acquire a few detractors.

Next, telephone them and get answers to any questions you might have. How do they treat you on the phone? Will they be flexible and prepared to work with your schedule within reason? (Do not become a critic because you expect they drop every other task on impulse to move your hot tub!) What is the length of time they've been in business? Are they using some sort of hot tub dolly? This is extremely crucial in my estimation since there is a significantly higher chance your spa will be transported without incident as long as they make use of a hot tub dolly instead of a furniture dolly. A company that uses a hot tub dolly has spent money on their tools and focuses on relocating hot tubs and spas. A business that wants to adapt a furniture dolly to relocate your spa isn't a certified spa mover by my definition. They may be a very highly regarded MOVING company, and that might not always mean an experienced SPA MOVER too. It happens to be your job to be aware of the difference.

Other questions you should ask: Are they certified and insured? Are they insured in transit as well as on your property? Does you company offer you even more services such as unhooking the electricity and hooking up the power? (They must be a certified electrician to do this in most states.) Would they give you references? (This may not be typical; nevertheless, it isn't going to cause harm to check.) What number of hot tubs or Jacuzzis do they really transfer weekly? (For your information anything at all over 12-15 every week equals a lot of knowledge.) Do they know about spa treatment in addition to routine maintenance? (If they're specialists, they'll know how to care for a spa and they're going to be glad to offer you guidance, though not absolutely particular to your spas make and model. Be sure to take a look at your owner's handbook!)

Finally, if possible, ask around. Should you have friends who have spas, they probably have hired a spa moving company previously. Getting the story from a dependable friend is usually a great idea - unless of course your buddies are actually loco just like many of mine. Well I guess, it does indeed keep everyday life intriguing.
