Why Pool Removal is Better Than Filling In

We recommend full pool removal rather than simply filling it in, as filling a pool can lead to future problems, especially when selling the property. A filled-in pool area can act like a waterlogged bowl, creating issues such as unstable ground or even attracting mosquitoes and other hazards.

Full and Partial Removal Options for Inground Pools

We offer both full and partial removal options, giving you the flexibility to choose the best approach based on your future plans for your yard and budget.

Process of Full Removal

Full pool removal involves draining the water and disconnecting the electrical system for safety reasons. After disconnecting everything, we will break and excavate the entire pool structure, including concrete, plumbing, rebar, and decking. Once removed, the pool cavity will be filled with clean soil, leveled, and graded. After grading, we will make sure the soil is compacted and fully stable to avoid ground-settling issues in the future.

What’s the advantage of Full Removal?

No Future Concerns: Full removal eliminates any potential issues, such as soil settling or drainage problems.
Complete Space Reclamation: This option gives you the freedom to fully repurpose the area for landscaping, building projects, or new outdoor features.

This is a Complete or Full Removal of a Residential Swimming Pool.

Partial Removal Process

In partial pool removal, the upper portion of the pool is dismantled, leaving the bottom part of the pool intact. We will punch holes in the bottom part to make sure there’s a proper drainage for the water. And then we will fill it with gravel, rock, dirt and soil. Then we will compact it to provide a stable surface for basic landscaping or outdoor space.

What’s the advantage of Partial Removal?

Cost-Effective: Because the process requires less labor, it is less expensive than full removal. If you want to build a patio or a garden or use your yard quickly in non-heavy construction projects, this is ideal.
Faster Process: This method is much quicker than full removal. Because we didn’t break the entire pool structure, only parts of it, we filled the pool and compacted it.

Common Questions About Inground Pool Removal

Can I use the space after the pool is removed?William Cuartero2024-09-21T02:28:06-05:00

Can I use the space after the pool is removed?

Yes, you can absolutely use the space after the pool is removed! After either full or partial pool removal, the area will be filled with clean, compacted soil, making it stable and ready for your next project.

What Removal Option Did You Choose for Your Pool? (Here’s the Difference)

Partial Removal: In partial removal, the top portion of the pool is demolished, while the lower part remains and is filled in. This method is quicker and more affordable but limits what you can build. The space is perfect for things like a lawn, garden, patio, or other landscaping projects, but it’s not ideal for heavy structures due to the remaining pool base.
Full Removal: With full removal, the entire pool structure, including the walls and floor, is completely taken out. This leaves you with a clean slate and much more flexibility. You can build just about anything, including home extensions, garages, sheds, or other heavy structures, since the ground will be fully stable and free from any remaining pool materials.
