Why Consider Pool Demolition and Removal?

There are many good reasons why folks decide to ditch their pools. Sometimes the pool is just old or messed up, and other times it’s about saving some cash – or making space for a garden, patio, or play area. Here are some common reasons for pool removal:

1. The swimming pool is cracked or damaged
2. No one wants to use it anymore
3. They cost a lot in maintenance and repairs
4. Increased insurance or safety risks
5. Wanting more room in the yard for other stuffs or projects.

No matter the reason, removing a pool is not a job for one person. You need help from experienced pool removal contractors, like us at Next Day Demolition.

Hiring a Professional Pool Demolition Contractor vs DIY

Totally, DIY stuff can help you save some cash – but this isn’t just your usual weekend project. Demolishing a pool means you gotta deal with permits, inspections, heavy machinery, and some pretty strict disposal rules. If things go sideways, it might end up costing a lot more than just getting a pro to handle it from the get-go. Professional pool removal services take care of everything:

• Taking Care of permits and local rules
• Safely emptying and tearing down the pool
• Getting rid of the debris the right way
• Restoring up the site with proper grading and backfill

Hiring a licensed and insured pool demolition contractors means you can relax and avoid any legal problems.

Inground Pool Demolition

Inground pools are extremely durable, so getting rid of them takes slightly more effort. So, you’ve got two main choices: you can either go for a partial removal, which is also known as a pool fill-in, or just do a full removal. Partial removal means you break up the top part of the pool and fill it with dirt and gravel. It’s faster and cheaper, but it might not be the best choice for building later on. When you do a full removal, it gets rid of the whole pool setup, so you’ve got a fresh start for whatever you want to put up next.

Above Ground Pool Removal

So, above ground pools might look like easy to handle, but removing of such structures actually needs some planning. So, here’s how we take down your above ground pool:

• First we will drain the water completely and safely
• Second, we will start removing it by taking out the frame, liner and other parts of the pool
• Third, we will haul away the debris and other parts of the pool
• Lastly we will clean up the site and we will backfill it if you want

This service is typically quicker than getting rid of an inground pool, and it’s great if you want to use that space fast – like for a new deck, fire pit, or just some nice grass.

Permits, Local Rules & What to Know First

Removing a pool isn’t as just about tearing it apart. You need different permits and must follow local rules, that depends on where you live. Especially if you have an inground pool – some areas require inspections, soil testing or environmental considerations like safe water disposal.
Not sure what your area requires? That’s okay – we do. Our staff handles all the local permit stuff so you don’t have to stress over paperwork or regulations.
