FAQs
There are several reasons you may wish to fill in your swimming pool:
- Pools can be dangerous, or even deadly, to children, pets, and the disabled.
- Pools generally take up a lot of space in your backyard.
- Pools require constant upkeep to maintain.
- If you’re selling your home, a swimming pool can drive some buyers away.
Whatever the reason you have for wanting a pool removal, it’s important that you contact a professional to do the job. Pool removal is regulated by the State of Arizona,Texas,Florida and must meet strict criteria to pass the demolition and fill inspection. Many fly-by-night companies and moonlighters offer pool removal services at cheaper rates than the professionals, but you will run into serious problems if you ever try to build on the land or sell your home in the future.
The cost of inground swimming pool removal is based on several factors:
- The size and shape of the pool.
- The materials used to build it (tile, granite, etc.)
- The depth of the pool.
- Whether it will be a full or partial removal.
- Local codes relating to material removal, debris handling, and fill requirements.

A pool demolition job begins with one of our team members visiting the site to assess the situation and bid the job. Our team member will give you a full consultation that covers the costs, requirements, and timeline of your pool removal.
Once you have signed off on the job, work will begin. First, we will drain the pool to the sewer system or transport the contents in a liquid truck, if necessary. Then the entire shell of the pool has to be demoed and hauled to a disposal site. All electrical, water and sewer lines must be capped. All electric components, including the one on the breaker box, must be removed. Then the excavated hole must be backfilled with clean fill dirt. The top two feet should be filled with topsoil to accommodate new landscaping. Finally, the soil is compacted to provide a firm foundation and steady footing for new construction.
If you plan to build a structure on your former pool, a partial pool demolition can save costs and is adequate for landscaping.
For a partial pool demolition, 12 inches of gravel is laid to cover the bottom of the pool before the sides are demolished and mixed with clean fill dirt. All electrical, water, and sewer lines are capped, any electrical pool equipment is removed, and the dirt is compacted. Finally, the dirt is graded to provide solid footing that is suitable for landscaping or gardening.
Partial pool demolition can help homeowners reduce the cost of a pool removal, but if you plan to sell your home in the next 3-5 years we strongly recommend a full demolition.
Our team is equipped to handle:
- Gunite pool demolition
