There are a variety of reasons people decide to demolish and remove their pool. Whether the maintenance costs have gotten too high, the pool is not being enjoyed like it used to be, or you have a new vision for your backyard, demolishing your pool might be the right direction. Once you’ve decided to say goodbye to your pool for good, the next step is to find a strong partner to lead your pool demolition project.
Your demolition partner should be able to do the heavy lifting of a pool demolition project, so find a team that can make the process as easy as possible for you. Your demolition partner will prepare the pool in various ways before demolition even starts. This includes draining the pool and disconnecting the pool equipment. It’s essential to confirm that all electricity to the pool has been turned off. All plumbing to the pool will also need to be disconnected before demolition. Your demolition team can help you with these critical functions.
Heavy equipment is needed for pool demolition, so the next step in the process involves figuring out how to mobilize equipment to your backyard. In this step, property owners can work with the demolition company to determine the best plan to limit damage to lawns and driveways. Consider other elements that could be implicated by heavy equipment in the area, for instance landscaping and sprinkler systems. If possible, limit the complexities of pool demolition by holding off on other projects that may limit your options when mobilizing equipment in your backyard.
Before beginning your pool demolition and removal, have a plan for what is next in your yard. It’s important to let your demolition partner know what your plan is for the area following demolition. Are you planning something like a patio, garage, or garden? Understanding what’s next for the site will help your demolition partner prepare the soil in the best way possible.
Lastly, another important step in preparing for a pool demolition and removal is to alert your neighbors. A simple heads up can go a long way, as the heavy machinery and jackhammering could be disruptive to those in your community. Inform neighbors of the timeline in advance.
