Beyond the monthly maintenance, pools require costly equipment repairs, chemical balance, and significant water usage. Eliminating your pool instantly saves thousands annually on electricity, water bills, pool service, and increasing insurance premiums.
While a pool may appeal to some buyers, it can deter many others. Removing an older, outdated, or leaking pool broadens your home’s appeal and is often seen as a smart investment before listing the property.
Imagine the possibilities! A new patio, deck, dedicated gardening space, putting green, fire pit area, or even room for a garage addition. We help you reclaim wasted space for your ideal outdoor vision.
A pool is an Attractive Nuisance in legal terms, drastically increasing your liability risk, especially if your property is near children. Pool removal eliminates the risk of accidental drowning, giving you critical peace of mind.
We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. Our experts will recommend the best approach based on your future plans and budget, but here is a clear overview of the two primary methods:
Process Detail: The entire pool structure, including all concrete, rebar, walls, fiberglass shell, pool decking, and supporting materials is completely broken up and hauled off-site. The hole is then backfilled with engineered, compactable soil.
The Benefit: This method provides a certified, buildable surface that allows you to construct a deck, addition, or secondary structure in the future without expensive remediation. It also eliminates the future need to disclose the presence of buried pool debris to new buyers. This is the most permanent and recommended solution.
Process Detail: The top 24-36 inches of the pool walls are broken down. Holes are punched in the floor for drainage, and the debris from the upper walls is placed into the bottom of the pool before the entire area is filled with compactable material.
The Benefit: This is generally the most affordable option. It works well for areas that will only be used for landscaping, gardens, or grass.
Note: Future buyers must be informed of the buried debris, which can impact future plans for construction.
Meticulous planning and execution are non-negotiable. Our insured team follows strict protocols for every project:
Site Inspection, Utility Shut-off, and Permitting: We manage all logistics. This includes locating and safely disconnecting all electrical and securing the mandatory demolition permits.
Access and Protection: Every access route is established and clearly marked before we begin. Our certified team performs all heavy equipment maneuvering with meticulous diligence and expert control to protect your property.
The Demolition Phase: Using heavy-duty, commercial equipment (e.g., excavators, hydraulic hammers), we systematically break down the pool structure, strictly adhering to either the Full or Partial removal plan.
Debris Hauling and Recycling: All materials are loaded and responsibly transported off-site to certified recycling facilities.
Engineered Backfill and Compaction: This is the most crucial step. We use only clean fill dirt and aggregate placed in multiple layers (lifts), which are then mechanically compacted to meet engineering standards and prevent future ground settlement.
Final Grading, Cleanup, and Inspection: The final surface is graded to ensure optimal water runoff away from your home’s foundation. We remove all traces of construction materials and finalize the site inspection, preparing the area for your new landscaping.
The cost varies widely based on size, accessibility, and chosen method (Full vs. Partial). A detailed, on-site estimate is the only way to get accurate pricing.
Most standard residential pool demolitions are completed within 3 to 7 business days from the start of demolition to final grading.
If you plan to build a structure, you must choose the Full Pool Removal option. This ensures the backfill meets the proper compaction density required by building codes.
Yes. Permits are required by your City/County. We handle the entire permitting process, ensuring compliance with all local codes.
The decking is included in the demolition and removal process. We take care of all surrounding hardscaping to ensure a clean slate.
