The previous homeowners had a new deck built around existing hot tub sealing it off forever against future repairs. I could access front panel, pumps ext but that was it. It developed a leak on a corner and I had to cut it to pieces to get it out. Looking on how too repair deck hole now.
20+ years of servicing hot tubs, and I've been using the hood-welded-shut analogy for a dozen years too! I have a video that shows NINE reasons sinking a hot tub in a hole is a bad idea.

I have built 5 decks with sunken tubs with no issue. Why do you ask, because I create a removable 2' track around the hot tub.
