The details, before we arrive

Pool Removal, without the guesswork.

What to expect, how to prepare, and options for the things you’re ready to let go.

How pool removal works

Drain the pool as far as you can the day before. Text us a photo of the pool, the pump, and any deck attached to it. We send one price.

On the day, we cut the wall into sections, pull the liner, break down the frame, disconnect the pump and filter, and take down the deck if there is one. Metal walls and frames go to a recycler. Liner and plastic go to disposal. Deck lumber goes to the wood pile. We rake the footprint.

Above-ground pools around Richmond

They go up fast in Mechanicsville, Chester and eastern Henrico, and they come down when the kids leave, the liner fails, or the house sells. The buyer’s inspector rarely wants it. We take it down in a morning.

In-ground pools

We do not demolish in-ground pools. That is excavation, fill and permits. We can take the deck furniture, the equipment shed and the fence around one if you are having it filled by someone else.

Pool Removal questions

Does it need to be drained first?

As much as you can. A sump pump or a siphon the day before gets most of it out. We can handle a little water in the bottom.

Do you take the deck around the pool?

Yes. A lot of above-ground pools have a wooden deck on one side. Send a photo of it and we price the pool and the deck together.

What about the sand underneath?

A thin base we can rake out and haul. A deep sand base is heavy and priced by weight. We tell you which before we start.

Do you fill in the spot?

No. We leave the footprint clear and level-ish. A landscaper handles fill and seed.
