Full and Partial Pool Removals

When it comes to pool removal, we offer two primary options: full pool removal and partial pool removal. The best choice for your property depends on your future plans for the space, local regulations, and budget.

Full Pool Removal: A full pool removal is the most thorough and permanent solution. It involves completely demolishing the pool structure, including the concrete shell, fiberglass liner, plumbing, and any surrounding decking. Once the pool is fully removed, the area is backfilled, compacted, and graded to prepare it for landscaping, lawn installation, or new construction.

A full pool removal is ideal for homeowners planning to build a new structure on the site or those who want to ensure that no future issues arise due to an abandoned pool foundation.

Partial Pool Removal: A partial pool removal, also known as a pool fill-in, involves removing the top portion of the pool while leaving the lower structure intact. The remaining pool shell is then backfilled with clean fill dirt and compacted to create a level surface.

While a partial removal is a budget-friendly option, it’s important to note that some municipalities may impose restrictions on building new structures over a filled-in pool, as the ground may not be as stable as a fully excavated and compacted site.

Backfilling and Site Restoration

Proper backfilling and grading are critical steps after a pool is removed. Improperly compacted soil can result in sinking, uneven surfaces, or drainage issues. At Capital City Demolition, we ensure that the excavated area is filled with high-quality compactable material, such as clean fill dirt, crushed stone, or gravel, to create a stable and level surface.

Our Backfilling Process:

  • Removal of debris—Any remaining pool materials, such as rebar, tiles, and piping, are cleared from the site.
  • Filling with high-quality materials—We use the appropriate backfill materials based on soil conditions and your future plans for the space.
  • Compaction and grading—The area is carefully compacted and graded to ensure proper drainage and land stability.
  • Final site restoration—We leave your property ready for landscaping, grass seeding, or any new project you have in mind.

Whether you want to expand your yard, install a garden, or create a new outdoor living space, our professional backfilling and site restoration services ensure a seamless and stable foundation for your future plans.

Compliance with Safety and Environmental Regulations

Pool demolition requires adherence to local building codes, safety standards, and environmental regulations. At Capital City Demolition, we take care of all necessary permits and ensure that the demolition is conducted in full compliance with local and state regulations.

How We Ensure a Safe and Environmentally Friendly Process:

  • Permit Assistance – We handle any required permits, ensuring compliance with municipal regulations.
  • Dust and Noise Control – We implement industry best practices to minimize disruption to your property and neighborhood.
  • Eco-Friendly Debris Disposal – Whenever possible, we recycle pool materials, such as concrete, metal, and fiberglass, rather than sending them to landfills.

By choosing Capital City Demolition, you can trust that your pool removal project will be completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why should I remove my swimming pool?
There are several reasons to remove a swimming pool, including reducing maintenance costs, increasing yard space, improving property value, and eliminating safety concerns. Homeowners may also choose to remove a pool if it has become damaged, outdated, or is no longer in use.
What is the difference between full and partial pool removal?
  • Full Pool Removal: The entire pool structure, including concrete, plumbing, and liner, is completely removed, and the area is backfilled. This allows for future construction on the site.
  • Partial Pool Removal: The top portion of the pool is demolished, and the remaining structure is filled with compactable material. This is a more cost-effective option but may have restrictions on future construction.
How long does a pool demolition take?
A full pool removal typically takes 5 to 7 days, while a partial removal may take 2 to 4 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Weather conditions, permitting requirements, and site conditions can also affect the timeline.
Do I need a permit for pool demolition?
Yes, most municipalities require a permit for pool removal to ensure compliance with local codes. At Capital City Demolition, we handle all necessary permits and paperwork, ensuring a hassle-free process for homeowners.

Will my property value increase after removing a pool?
Yes, removing an unwanted or damaged pool can increase property value by providing more usable yard space and eliminating maintenance costs. Many buyers prefer homes without pools due to insurance, upkeep, and liability concerns.
Will I be able to build over the area after removal?
If you choose a full pool removal, the area will be fully compacted and suitable for new construction. However, with a partial removal, some municipalities may restrict building structures over the filled-in area. We can help assess your options based on your future plans.
Will my yard sink after a pool removal?
No, our team follows strict compaction and grading procedures to ensure proper soil stability. We use high-quality backfill materials to prevent settling or drainage issues, leaving your yard level and ready for landscaping.
Can I remove an above-ground pool?

Yes, above-ground pools are generally easier to remove than in-ground pools. Our team can dismantle and haul away all pool components, including the frame, liner, and any surrounding decking.

How do I prepare for pool demolition?

Before demolition, we recommend:

  • Disconnecting utilities such as gas, water, and electricity.
  • Clearing access to the pool area to allow for equipment entry.
  • Notifying neighbors if heavy machinery will be in use.
  • Discussing future landscaping plans with our team so we can properly prepare the site.
What can I do with the space after pool removal?
After your pool is removed, you can transform the space into a beautiful backyard, garden, patio, lawn, or outdoor living area. If you’re considering future construction, a full removal with proper backfilling ensures a stable foundation.
