The Pool Demolition Process, Explained

Just like the pool installation process, pool demolition can be a rather complex task. Fortunately, our team at All American Debris & Wrecking is fully equipped to handle all aspects of the job, from the initial assessment to the cleanup. Here’s what you can expect if you choose us for your pool demolition needs:

  1. Create a detailed demolition plan. We’ll carefully inspect your pool and the surrounding area to create a customized plan to safely remove the pool without impacting the nearby environment. During this phase, we’ll also acquire the necessary permits depending on whether you’d like a partial removal or complete removal of your pool.
  1. Disconnect utilities and drain pool. Before the scheduled pool demolition day, we’ll disconnect all utilities connected to your pool area, including water, gas, and electrical lines. We will also completely drain the pool to ensure the demolition process will go smoothly.
  1. Destroy the pool structure. On the pool demolition day, we’ll use our heavy equipment to safely and efficiently break up the pool’s structure.
  1. Remove the debris. After the pool is fully demolished, we will remove all debris from your property and ensure it’s disposed of responsibly.
  1. Backfill and compact the area. Our team will backfill the empty space with soil or gravel to create a stable and level foundation. You can rely on us to thoroughly compact and grade the area to remove all traces of the former pool.
