Pool Demolition Contractor

Swimming pool removal is one of our most sought-after services. Let’s face it, pools are not just fun and games for homeowners. They pose hazards and liabilities to owners, incur heavy maintenance costs, and take up a lot of yard space.

With Shoemaker Demolition, you can get rid of your pool in no time. We offer two pool removal packages: Partial Pool Removal and Full Pool Removal. Partial removal is simple and quick: the pool is drained, the sidewalls are brought down 18 inches below grade, large holes are put in the bottom, and pool equipment is abandoned, but the shell remains.

Partial swimming pool demolition is a less expensive process, but if you plan on building over the area – the best choice is to completely remove the pool. This can be a little more expensive because removing the pool entirely is a longer demolition process and can generate more dump fees. Whether you choose full or partial, after the pool has been demolished, the backfill process begins, accompanied by soil compaction testing. Depending on the size of the pool, this process can take one to two weeks.

FAQs

Although pools are popular, they can quickly become unmanageable and expensive. Some of the most common reasons pool owners choose swimming pool removal include:

  • Pools are risky – Whether you own pets, have kids, or are worried about the risks pools pose to the disabled, pools can be dangerous and even deadly amenities that don’t suit everyone’s lifestyle.
  • Pools take up space – Even if you love pools, having one that takes up most of your outdoor space can be frustrating. Pool demolition can free up a lot of yard space for landscaping and new construction.
  • Pools are expensive – Whether you want to cut down on your gas, water or electric bills, or hate the constant maintenance your pool requires, pool demolition can be a quick fix for constant upkeep expenses weighing on your budget.
