Hot Tub Removal in Bonita, CA.
Hot Tub Removal for Bonita homes, done by an insured San Diego County crew. A dead hot tub is four things: heavy (250–900 lbs empty), full of water you'll have to drain, electrically connected, and way too big for the dump truck. We drain it, cut the shell into manageable pieces, disconnect the electrical, and haul everything in one trip..
