The timeframe depends on pool type, size, removal method, and site conditions. Above-ground pool removal can often be completed in a few days, while inground pool removal may take a week or more. Your contractor will provide a more accurate estimate.

What are the benefits of removing a pool?

Vinyl Liners: These are the most common and typically the easiest to remove. They are relatively thin and flexible.
Fiberglass Liners: Fiberglass pools have a smooth, non-porous surface. Removing them involves breaking up the fiberglass shell, which can be more labor-intensive.
Concrete Pools: Concrete pools are the most durable but also the most complex to remove. Demolition typically involves breaking up the concrete with heavy equipment like jackhammers or excavators.

Benefits can include:

Increased property value.
Lower maintenance costs.
Enhanced safety.
More usable space.
Improved aesthetics.

How do I know if my pool needs to be removed?
Consider removal if your pool is:
Damaged or leaking beyond repair.
Too expensive to maintain.
Unused and taking up valuable space.
Outdated and no longer desired.

What is the difference between partial and complete pool removal?
Partial removal involves demolishing only the top portion of the pool, then filling and compacting the remaining hole. **Complete removal** demolishes the entire pool structure, including walls and floor. Complete removal is generally preferred for structural integrity and avoids potential future issues.
