That old hot tub in your Burbank backyard hasn’t been filled in three years, but it’s still taking up half your patio. Maybe you’re a contractor flipping a Magnolia Park bungalow and the sellers left behind a 1990s spa that’s more algae than acrylic. Either way, hot tub removal in Burbank isn’t a solo project—these things weigh 400 to 1,000 pounds empty, and most backyards don’t exactly have forklift access.
K9 Junk Removal & Hauling handles hot tub removal across Burbank, from the hillside homes near Stough Canyon to multi-unit properties in the Media District. We disconnect, demolish if needed, haul everything away, and leave your space ready for whatever comes next. We’re licensed, fully insured (liability and workers comp), and we work weekends when your schedule demands it.
Why Burbank Homeowners and Contractors Call K9 for Hot Tub Removal
Hot tubs don’t fit through most side gates. They’re bolted to concrete pads. Some are hardwired to your electrical panel. And if they’ve been sitting unused, they’re filled with stagnant water, cracked acrylic, and rotted cabinetry that splinters the moment you touch it.
We’ve pulled hot tubs from tiny Rancho courtyards where the only access was a 36-inch gate, and we’ve hauled commercial-grade spas from rental properties near Olive Avenue where tenants left the cover off for two summers straight. We bring the crew, the tools, and the truck. You don’t need to drain it, disconnect it, or even sweep up afterward.
Contractors working on flip projects or ADU builds in Burbank know timing matters. We show up when we say we will, we don’t leave debris behind, and we never ghost you mid-project. If your timeline shifts, we’ll work around it—including evenings and weekends.
What’s Included in Our Hot Tub Removal Service
- Disconnection: We shut off power at the breaker and disconnect the electrical or gas lines (you’ll need a licensed electrician if hardwired work requires permitting, but we coordinate)
- Draining: If there’s still water in it, we’ll pump it out or let it drain to your yard drainage (we confirm with you first)
- Demolition: Most hot tubs get broken down on-site with reciprocating saws and pry bars—it’s the only way to get them out through tight spaces
- Haul-away: Every piece of acrylic, wood skirting, foam insulation, pumps, and hardware goes into our truck
- Site cleanup: We sweep up screws, splinters, and debris, and we’ll move the concrete pad if you want it gone (separate demo service)
- Responsible disposal: We separate metals and plastics when possible and take everything to the appropriate Burbank-area disposal or recycling facility
We also pull hot tub covers, steps, gazebos, and surrounding decking if it’s part of the teardown. If you’re doing a full backyard refresh, we can handle the whole cleanout in one trip.
How the Hot Tub Removal Process Works
- Tell us about the hot tub: Call us at (737) 900-9626 or submit details through k9junkandhauling.com—brand, size, location in your yard, and any access concerns (narrow gates, stairs, etc.)
- We assess and quote: Most quotes happen over the phone or via photos. If it’s a complex site (hillside access, tight corridor), we’ll schedule a quick walkthrough
- We schedule the removal: We work around your calendar, including weekends and after-hours if you’re managing a rental turnover or job site
- We disconnect and demo: Our crew arrives with the right tools, disconnects utilities, and breaks down the hot tub as needed to navigate your property
- We haul and clean up: Everything gets loaded and hauled away same-day, and we leave your yard cleaner than we found it
From start to finish, most hot tub removals take 2 to 4 hours depending on size and access. You don’t need to be there the whole time—just enough to let us in and confirm the scope.
Burbank-Specific Considerations for Hot Tub Removal
Burbank properties come with quirks. Older homes in the Rancho and Magnolia Park neighborhoods often have narrow side yards, mature landscaping, and gates that barely clear a wheelbarrow. Hillside homes near the Verdugo Mountains might have multi-level decks or staircases with no direct yard access. And if you’re working on a multi-family property near Downtown Burbank, HOA rules or shared driveways can add logistical layers.
We’ve handled all of it. If your hot tub is behind a locked gate at a rental property, we’ll coordinate access. If your HOA requires proof of insurance or advance notice, we provide both. And if your spa sits on a second-story deck (yes, we’ve seen it), we’ll figure out the safest demo and removal plan.
Burbank doesn’t require a permit for hot tub removal itself, but if your spa is hardwired and you’re doing electrical work, you may need a permit for that portion. We’ll walk you through it and coordinate with your electrician if needed. We’ve worked with enough Burbank contractors and homeowners to know what the city expects.
Why K9 Is the Trusted Hot Tub Removal Choice in Burbank
K9 Junk Removal & Hauling was started in 2021 by Jean Guizzetti, a Venezuelan immigrant who built this business from the ground up with one truck and a commitment to doing the job right. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center. When you work with us, you’re working with a small, family-owned crew that shows up on time, handles your property with care, and doesn’t cut corners.
We carry full liability insurance and workers comp, which matters when you’re dealing with heavy equipment, electrical disconnections, and demolition work. If something goes wrong, you’re covered. And if your project runs into a weekend or evening, we’re available—because we know life and construction timelines don’t always fit into a 9-to-5 window.
We’re also not the cheapest option in Burbank, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is reliable, transparent, and experienced. We’ve removed hot tubs from every kind of Burbank property—mid-century ranches, stucco apartment complexes, hillside retreats, and contractor flip projects. We guide you through the process, even if that means telling you what we can’t do or referring you to the right specialist when needed.
Whether you’re reclaiming your backyard in Burbank or clearing a property for your next renovation, we’ll handle the hot tub removal so you can move forward with your project.
