Introduction
Upfront / important notes: 1) I typically run between 2-3 weeks out for bookings, sometimes I can get out to see you sooner. The cost for a deep cleaning is $400. A diagnostic appt is $250. Repairs quoted in person commensurate with the task. I keep inventory in my van and can often complete a repair and get your tub back up in the same visit. Reach out to me over text to schedule. 2) I charge a travel fee commensurate with the distance and time I need to drive to get to/from your address from Tualatin. Cost for Lake Oswego addresses typically $50, most Portland addresses and Cedar Hills $90, Vancouver, WA $120, Camas, WA $180, and Mt. Hood/Gov't Camp is $240. When you book I'll determine the travel cost for your address and communicate this as part of the quote. I'm honest and highly capable; I do very good work. If you need diagnostic or repair work w/ no nonsense/bs you're in very good hands. 3) Licensed, bonded, and insured. OR CCB 253847 It's hot tubbin' time! Deep cycling your hot tub (or spa) water, cleaning the internal plumbing, refreshing filters and maintenance inspection are all important but labor intensive tasks. Life is busy. Let me help. Things I do: Chemically deep clean your hot-tub or sauna's plumbing. I create a chemical solvent out of your water that dissolves everything organic (bacteria, skin cells, hair, grime, etc.) ; pull and deep clean the filters, drain the water, scrub and rinse the shell, clean jets and vacuum out hoses, refill, pH optimize, shock and balance with chlorine or bromine sanitizer. I clean the cover and the outside of the tub. It'll look (and be) like brand new. If you have a leak(s), broken jets, heat issues, problems with pumps or plumbing, or issues with your control board or components there's hope. I'll come out and inspect your unit, diagnose failures, find/order parts, and repair any issue. I do very good work, and I stand behind it. Need help diagnosing water chemistry? If you have scale build-up (sandy texture on shell), green water, cloudy water, issues with your sanitizer (strong smells and/or skin irritation), or would like to put in place a sustainable, economic, and easy-to-maintain system to keep things in balance as you use your tub I can help. Electrical issues and/or GFCI breaker keep tripping? I'll quickly diagnose the issue and isolate the problem component for repair or replacement. I can install sub-panels, breakers, and correct found issues with your electrical. Recently buy a house with an existing tub of unknown age/condition/provenance? Trust me you're going to want to deep clean this sucker no matter how clear the water looks. The gunk that builds behind each jet and condensed biofilms (throughout internal piping) built up from prior use are nasty and need to go. I'll do a full maintenance cycle, deep clean, and inspection so you know what you've got. If you need help jumpstarting chemicals with a starter pack I've got your back. Buildup of grime, precipitated minerals, and sanitizers in the water is bad for your skin and terrible for your tub's (expensive) components. I offer annualized maintenance plans and will deep clean and change out your water every 90 or 180 days to ensure it's running in optimal condition. A tub/spa is just like a car and requires regular maintenance. Costs pennies on the dollar compared to expensive and avoidable repairs. If you're thinking of buying a home with a hot tub or spa assume nothing! Home inspectors aren't qualified to evaluate a hot tub's condition and it's breezed over if addressed at all in the reports. A hot tub is an asset or a liability; there is no middle and looks are deceiving. Always best to know upfront a tub's actual condition, the quality of the wiring, state of the motor/pump and control system, outstanding issues, and the expected life and what the cost of ownership will be. There are many economy tubs in place today which fail in the first 3 years and are worth less than the cost to remove them, yet are sold to new home buyers at a premium as working features. I will come out and tell you exactly what you have. There are brands to avoid and component lifecycles to be aware of. Always best to have the facts upfront and the true value reflected in your purchase agreement. Time's money and money is best kept in your pocket. I don't rep for a company and won't push to (up)sell any line of products. Hot tubs and/or spas are investments which cost FAR more to neglect than to maintain. I'm based out of Tualatin and will travel anywhere (beach, Eastern and Western Oregon). In addition to travel (to/from address from Tualatin) the cost of a diagnostic/eval is $250 and a deep cleaning $400. I'll show up on time, prepared, and I work fast. I do very high quality work. Good communication, respect, complete transparency, and honesty in all dealings. Golden rule. At most I'm 3 weeks out on scheduling but will make every effort to see you as soon as possible. Reach out for availability. I'm exceptionally good at finding and remediating leaks. Most technicians won't even return your call for a leak job. I step into jobs every day that others won't even try (or they'll tell you to buy a new tub). There's no substitute for experience, skill, and technical competence. You either know what you're doing or you don't, and it shows in the quality and speed of the work. I also work on jetted tubs, softubs, custom built-in spas, pool liner replacements, stainless steel tubs, cedar tubs, pump-house maintenance, as well as sauna kit construction and diagnostic maintenance. Feel free to reach with what you need; happy to answer any questions.

Tom came out to diagnose our hot tub leak, he did a great analysis which ended up being pretty much what the warranty company ended up fixing . He was able to get out many weeks before the warranty company which was great even if it made more sense to have it finally resolved through warranty. Will definitely contact Tom for future hot tub work, he knows them well and was super professional.

Details: Inspection • Electric powered • Fits 7 to 8 people • Outdoors • Above ground, free-standing, and portable • Acrylic • No, I don’t need the hot tub or spa drained

Tom is definitely an expert in hot tubs. He’s very straightforward and to the point. We appreciated this. We purchased our hot tub in 2020 and didn’t get a lot of information about care and maintenance. Tom gave us helpful information so we can maintain our hot tub without unnecessary products specialty products. He was quick to respond and was prompt and communicative.

Great experience with Tom! He was extremely thorough and even took pics for me as I wasn’t able to be around for the hot tub clean up. He knew exactly what our hot tub needed after we inherited the tub after purchasing our new home. Tom even asked for my email to send me upkeep tips and tricks since I’m so new to hot tub ownership! Will be hiring him again! Before/After photos here for your viewing pleasure!
