Hot Tub Moving Services in Quebec
Your spa is heavy, bulky, and fragile. Déménagement DMAX has the equipment and the experience to relocate it safely, whether you are moving to a new home or repositioning it in your backyard. Our crews provide a premium, reliable service for every type of unit, from portable models to large swim spas, across Quebec and Canada.
Types of Spas We Move
1. Portable Hot Tubs (Above-Ground)
2. Inset Hot Tubs
3. Swim Hot Tubs
Longer (12 to 20 feet), heavier (1,700 to 3,300 lb / 800 to 1,500 kg), the swim spa is a logistical challenge on its own. Transport almost always requires specialized tools and careful route planning. Our movers are equipped for the job.
4. Nordic Baths / Barrel Spas
Additional Hot Tub Services
Same-property relocation
Temporary storage
Old spa removal and disposal
Electrician coordination
How a Hot Tub Relocation Works with DMAX
Step 1: Site Assessment
We evaluate the type, the approximate weight, the width of access points, the obstacles around, and the conditions at the destination. Send us photos through our online form to get an exact price quickly.
Step 2: Preparation
On the day of the job, our crew protects the hot tub with padded blankets and removes detachable parts (cover, steps, control panel). We install floor protection to avoid damage to your lawn, your deck, or your walkways.
Step 3: Lift and Move
Depending on the setup, we use oversized-wheel dollies for lawn crossing, lifting straps, temporary ramps, or a specialized lift to clear a fence or hedge. The hot tub is lifted by the shell, never by the skirt, to avoid damage.
Step 4: Transport
The hot tub is strapped down inside our truck with padded protection on all sides. Our 20 to 30 foot trucks are equipped for this kind of heavy and oversized load.
Step 5: Installation
We place your hot tub at the chosen spot, verify the surface is level and capable of supporting the weight, remove the protection, and confirm everything is in order before leaving.

How to Prepare Before the Big Day
Drain the hot tub completely
A full hot tub can weigh twice its empty weight.
Have it disconnected by a certified electrician
The hot tub must be unplugged by a certified electrician (240V connection) before moving day.
Remove the accessories
Hard cover, steps, towel holders, drink holders.
Clear the access path
Patio furniture, flower pots, BBQ, anything that blocks the way.
Open or remove the fence section
If possible, clear the access before our arrival to save time.
In winter: shovel and de-ice the access
Right up to the hot tub and along the entire exit path.
What Makes Hot Tub Transport Difficult
A hot tub is between 800 and 2,200 lb (350 to 1,000 kg) of acrylic shell, fiberglass, and mechanical components. Most of the time, it sits in the backyard, not next to the street.
Obstacles we see all season long:
- Fence gate too narrow for the unit to fit through
- Cedar hedge blocking side access
- Raised wood deck or inset model embedded in the structure
- Shed, heat pump, gas meter, or air conditioner in the way
- Stairs, retaining walls, sloped terrain, or soft ground in spring
- Low power lines, eaves, or gutters above the path
- Drainage ditch between the yard and the street
