Our Pool Removal Process

At Grillo Pool Removal, we provide full-service in-ground swimming pool removal, ensuring a clean, professional, and hassle-free experience. Our process includes:

  1. Site Preparation & Access – We assess the property and create access for our equipment, which may involve temporarily removing sections of fencing or other obstacles.

  2. Draining the Pool – We fully drain the pool to ensure a safe and efficient demolition process.

  3. Demolition & Material Removal

    • Vinyl & Fiberglass Pools: The liner, fiberglass shell, and cover are cut and removed from the property for proper disposal.
    • Concrete Pools: We typically break up the concrete pool walls and decking and bury the material in the excavation site, following industry best practices for compaction and drainage. Any non-concrete components, such as rebar or plumbing, are removed and disposed of.
  4. Backfilling & Compaction – We fill the excavation with high-quality material, compacting it in layers to prevent future settling and ensure a stable surface for landscaping or lawn installation.

  5. Site Restoration – The area is graded to match the surrounding yard, and we can add topsoil for grass, gardens, or any future landscaping plans.

Where We Work

We proudly serve homeowners across Connecticut (CT) and select areas of Massachusetts (MA), Rhode Island (RI), and New York (NY), including Westchester County and Long Island. Our experience in these regions ensures we meet all local regulations and permit requirements.

"Our family could not be more pleased with the professional, neat and exemplary work done in putting our old, tired, family pool to rest. Bittersweet, the pool was our father’s pride and a neighborhood icon since 1965. I learned to swim in that pool and have a lifetime of memories but Sean and his team gave a proper burial to this legacy. They are truly experts in this field and it shows. We are happy to have found them.

    Why Many Homeowners Are Choosing to Remove Their In-Ground Pools

    In recent years, more and more homeowners are opting to remove their in-ground swimming pools for a variety of practical reasons:

    Escalating Maintenance and Energy Costs
    Maintaining a pool involves ongoing expenses, including chemicals, cleaning, and regular repairs. Additionally, the energy costs associated with heating, filtering, and circulating water can be significant. In some cases, the pool accounts for a large portion of a home's energy consumption. With rising utility costs, many homeowners find that removing their pool is a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

    Liability and Safety Concerns
    Pools can pose safety risks, especially for families with young children, pets, or elderly individuals. The potential for accidents can lead to increased insurance premiums and heightened liability concerns. By removing the pool, homeowners can reduce these risks and enjoy greater peace of mind, knowing their property is safer for everyone.

    High Renovation and Repair Expenses
    As pools age, they often require costly renovations or repairs, such as resurfacing, tile replacement, or equipment upgrades. These projects can quickly become expensive, leading many homeowners to realize that removing the pool may be a more economical option compared to continued maintenance and repairs.

    Desire for Increased Usable Outdoor Space
    Pools can take up a significant amount of backyard space, leaving little room for other activities or landscaping. By removing the pool, homeowners can reclaim their outdoor space for gardening, play areas, or entertainment purposes. This not only increases the usability of the yard but also enhances the overall enjoyment of the property.

    Impact on Property Value and Marketability
    In certain markets, having a pool can actually detract from a property's appeal, particularly if potential buyers are concerned about maintenance or safety. Removing an unused or unwanted pool can make a home more attractive to a wider range of buyers, potentially increasing its marketability and overall value.

    At Grillo Pool Removal, we understand these concerns and offer expert in-ground pool removal services. Whether you're looking to save on energy costs, improve safety, or free up space for outdoor living, our experienced team can help you transform your backyard into a functional, beautiful area that fits your needs and goals.
