Pool Demolition (but NOT Removal!)

There are a few ways to approach a pool demolition. Depending on the materials that were used in the pool, the local laws and ordinances, and the intentions of the owner, there are basically two roads that you can go down. The first is to remove the pool entirely. You break up all of the material and haul it away, then fill the hole with dirt. The second option is to just fill the hole with dirt, removing only the materials necessary to present a smooth surface to the outside world. For this job, The owner chose option two.

Pool removal starts

Bright and early on a crisp Monday morning, our demolition crew arrived at the house to begin working on this residential pool removal project. Their first step was to drain the pool using a large gas powered pump. While the pump did it work, the crew wasted no time. As soon as our excavator arrived on location, the operator set to work breaking up the concrete deck that surrounded the pool. This concrete could easily be recycled at our yard, where we turn scrap material like this into gravel, mulch, and all sorts of construction materials for future projects.
