Klema Builders removes and disposes of old hot tubs and spas across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. The tub is drained, taken apart where it will not fit through the gate, and hauled off in 1 to 3 business days, with the ground left graded or raked. If the tub sits in a deck, the deck can be repaired or rebuilt around the opening on the same quote. Every removal is quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult. ### What do I need to do before the hot tub is removed? Drain the tub a day or two ahead, and have a licensed electrician disconnect and cap the power at the panel and the disconnect box. Once the power is safely off, we take the tub apart and haul it away. ### How much does hot tub removal cost in San Antonio? The price depends on the size and weight of the tub, whether it has to be cut apart to fit through the gate, whether it sits in a deck or on a pad, and how far it is from the truck. You get a written fixed-price quote within 3 to 5 business days after a free site visit. ### Do I need a permit for hot tub removal in San Antonio?

The written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days of the free site visit, and the start date is set when you sign. ### Are concrete footings removed? No. A standard Klema Builders removal takes down everything above ground and hauls it away; concrete footings, piers and pads stay where they are. Pulling concrete is a different service, handled separately. So is any siding, stucco or flashing repair where a structure was attached to the house. ### Is haul-away included? Yes. Every Klema Builders removal includes hauling away everything that comes down, and leaving the yard graded or raked where the structure stood. There is no separate dumpster for you to rent or load. ### Can you build something new where it was? Yes. Klema Builders builds decks, pergolas, covered patios, patios and pavers, fences and landscaping, so the removal and what comes next can be one quote with one crew. Popular next steps: deck over the spot, patio in its place, landscape it. Every Klema Builders project comes with pass-through manufacturer warranties (Trex up to 50 years, TimberTech up to 50, Fiberon up to 30, Azenco up to 25) registered in the homeowner's name at the walk-through. ## Related - [Deck over the spot](https://klemabuilders.com/decks) - [Patio in its place](https://klemabuilders.com/patios-and-pavers) - [Landscape it](https://klemabuilders.com/landscaping) - [All removal services](https://klemabuilders.com/removal) ## Contact - Phone: (210) 974-1420 (Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM) - Email: hello@klemabuilders.com - Based in: San Antonio, TX - Service area: San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin - Free in-home consult, fixed-price quote line by line within 3 to 5 business days. - Get a quote: https://klemabuilders.com/get-quote
