Getting it out of a back yard, through a gate and onto a truck means planning the route before anyone lifts. This is why O'Brien's looks at the tub and the path first. ## At a glance - Back-yard routes, gates and side yards planned in advance - Moved with the rest of the house or on its own - Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Lake Tahoe - Free in-home estimate ## Before the move The tub must be drained, and the water in the lines allowed to run out. The power should be shut off at the breaker by the person who installed it. The cover and steps come off and travel separately. Disconnecting and reconnecting the electrical supply is work for a licensed electrician, and plumbing is also a trade matter; check with the estimator about who handles which part before moving day. - Drain the tub and open the drain valves - Have the electrical supply shut off by a qualified person - Take off the cover, steps and any loose items - Clear the path from the tub to the gate ## Getting it to the truck Width is the first question: side gates, fence lines, and hedges. Slope is the second, since many tubs sit on a deck or pad. The estimator walks both ends and measures what could pinch. On a Tahoe or Washoe Valley property with steps or a grade, the route may need more crew. That detail goes into the written estimate. ## Setting it up at the new address The new location needs a flat, firm pad, a clear path and a power supply ready before the tub arrives. If the pad is not ready, the tub can wait in the warehouse in Sparks. Having the site prepared first is what keeps a hot tub move to one trip. ## Other ways to book Some customers add the tub to a full household move. Others call only for the tub because they are staying put and swapping to a new model. Either way, the estimate itemizes it.

Call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683), Mon-Fri 8-5, or see the [moving FAQ](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/). ### Does O'Brien's disconnect the power? Electrical and plumbing hookups are trade work. Ask the estimator how your move handles them and have it listed in writing. ### Can you store a hot tub? The warehouse in Sparks can hold items between homes. Ask the estimator about space for your tub. ### What if the gate is too narrow? The estimator measures the route at the visit and plans the crew and equipment around it. ### Is the estimate free? Yes, the in-home estimate is free and carries no obligation. ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) N Nicole B. June 25, 2025 The crew worked extremely hard and treated our belongings with care. Customer service was outstanding leading up to, during, and after move. Thank you! S Sonia P. August 4, 2023 Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
