How Much Does It Cost To Remove An Inground Pool?

Cost To Remove Inground Pool

The cost to remove an inground pool will vary depending on:

  • The size of the swimming pool: a large swimming pool will take longer to remove because more trips will be required with the special machiners.
  • The type of swimming pool: an above-ground pool can be taken away in less than a day, but this isn't the case with an inground pool.
  • The location of the swimming pool: the method of removal of an old pool in an apartment building will be different than the removal of a pool in a backyard.
  • The accessibility of the swimming pool: an inground pool in the backyard of a townhouse, for example, will be more difficult to get to with machinery than other locations. This means that the technicians will have to remove the concrete and other debris by hand using a wheel barrel.

Keeping all of these factors in mind, the cost of swimming pool demolition and inground pool removal on average ranges between $8,000 - $15,000 in the city of Ottawa, Ontario. There are no permits required, but there are rules and regulations related to what materials can be used that are safe for the environment. Unfortunately, some companies cut corners in order to save themselves a few dollars and this causes headaches (and sometimes lawsuits) for the pool owners.

Cost Of Pool Demolition

Once you have made the decision to get rid of your unwanted pool, it's important to understand the steps involved in professional removal. In the article, we hope to help you understand what you are paying for. To get the job done with minimal damage to your landscaping, the environment, and your health, it is important to remove the walls of the pool and create proper drainage in the concrete foundation. The concrete is broken down and all of the pieces are removed with special machinery. As mentioned above, if machines can't fit into your space then wheel barrels must be used instead.

Partial pool removal is another option to consider if you are looking at more affordable swimming pool removal in your area. Partial pool removal means that some of the concrete foundations are left underground. Holes are drilled into the concrete by a qualified pool removal contractor to provide drainage. To fill in a pool after the water drainage system has been secured, you first need to check that all of the gas and electrical lines connected to the old swimming pool are disconnected completely.

Cost Of Filling a Swimming Pool

There was a cost to digging the hole for your pool and now there is a cost for filling it as well. This is typically the most expensive part of the process and is often where other companies try to cut costs by filling old pools with toxic materials or cheap soil that will ruin your landscaping over time. We recommend that you invest in quality materials that are safe for the environment and for your family.

The pool is usually filled with non-toxic sand and a layer of quality topsoil on top so that grass can grow back just in time for spring. The issue of what to fill your inground pool with is not a concern if you have an above-ground pool. This type of pool removal process doesn't take as long and often complete pool removal can be done in as little as a day or two.

Swimming pool demolition isn't difficult and complete pool removal can come sooner than you think. An inground concrete pool, for example, can be completely removed and filled with high-quality pool materials in less than a week.

Cost Of Labour For Pool Removal

Another cost associated with inground pool removal is the cost of labour. Our skilled technicians at SMC Demolition are experienced, certified, insured, and happy to help. Whether it's for demolition, pool removal, excavation, or land clearing, the cost of labour is an important expense to consider if you want a high-quality job. The meticulous job of inground pool removal involves heavy machinery operated by licensed technicians and the tedious job of debris removal to ensure your property is left spotless. The machines are rented to contractors in the city of Ottawa and are an expense to any contracting company doing this kind of work.

Some people consider the cost to rent equipment as a DIY project. If you want to go this route, it is important to also consider the possibility of costly repairs if something goes wrong. Renting equipment that you haven't been properly trained to use can cause a lot more harm than good in the long-run.

Savings After Inground Pool Removal

Removing your unwanted inground swimming pool can actually make your house easier to sell. Although pools can increase the value of a home for sellers, this general rule only applies to homes with pools that are well maintained or fairly new. Additionally, not all potential buyers are interested in buying a house with a pool in the first place. Therefore, if you are selling your home it would be good for your bank account to remove and fill your old inground pool first.

This is another reason to make sure you are choosing an environmentally safe removal method from your trusted pool demolition expert. Potential buyers have a right to know the history of the home. You need to disclose that there was once a pool there, that it has been filled, and what it has been filled with. The quality of materials used for full removal, punching holes for partial removal, and the amount of workmanship involved will all determine whether or not the land will sink over time.

As a homeowner, the risk of sinking land is a huge liability and creates an unsafe environment for your family. When looking at pool removal costs and booking your pool removal project, be sure to get advice from a local experienced pool removal contractor,
