Bathtub or Jacuzzi Removal: Why This Job Shouldn’t Be a DIY Project
Thinking about removing your old bathtub or indoor jacuzzi during a remodel? It may seem like a simple task — break it apart and carry it out. But in reality, bathtub and spa removal is one of the most underestimated demolition jobs, packed with hidden dangers for both your home and your health.
The Hidden Dangers of DIY Bathtub Demolition
Whether it’s a heavy cast iron tub or a built-in jacuzzi with plumbing and electricity, doing it yourself can lead to serious consequences:
- Flooding: Damaging a water supply or drain line can result in immediate water leaks and expensive water damage.
- Electrical shock: Indoor jacuzzis are often hardwired. Mishandling wires may cause a short circuit — or worse, electrocution.
- Injury from heavy lifting: Cast iron tubs can weigh up to 300–400 pounds. Moving them without proper tools or assistance can lead to back injuries or accidents.
- Property damage: Incorrect removal can crack tiles, damage walls, subfloors, or nearby fixtures.
- Improper disposal: Most cities don’t allow you to leave large bathtubs or spa parts on the curb. You may face fines or need to hire a hauling service anyway.
