A Step-by-Step Guide
Inground swimming pools, while a luxury for many homeowners, eventually may need to be removed due to a variety of reasons, including relocating, renovation, or safety concerns. At Frank Santoro & Sons, we specialize in safely and efficiently removing inground swimming pools, restoring the area for new purposes. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how we handle the process.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
Before diving into the removal process, we begin with an on-site consultation to assess the pool’s size, condition, and any unique challenges it may pose. Our experts take note of the pool’s construction materials, surrounding landscaping, and proximity to utilities like water, gas, and electric lines. This helps us develop a tailored removal plan that ensures safety and efficiency.
Step 2: Draining the Pool
Once we’ve finalized the plan, the first step in the removal process is draining the pool. This involves removing all water from the pool, which is safely disposed of in accordance with local regulations. It’s important to fully drain the pool to avoid water retention during the demolition, which could affect the surrounding ground and cause complications.
Step 3: Demolition of the Pool Structure
Next comes the demolition of the pool itself. Our team uses heavy-duty machinery to break apart the pool’s concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl liner, depending on the material it is made from. Concrete pools are typically broken up with a jackhammer or excavator, while vinyl or fiberglass pools may be removed intact or cut into smaller sections.
Step 4: Removal of Pool Debris
After the pool is demolished, we begin removing the debris. Concrete chunks, metal reinforcements, and any leftover material are hauled away. We are committed to recycling and disposing of the debris responsibly, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Step 5: Filling the Pool Hole
Once the pool is completely demolished and removed, we begin filling the hole. This is done with a mixture of gravel, dirt, and sand, compacting each layer to ensure stability. Our team takes great care to make sure the ground is level and properly graded to prevent settling or water pooling in the future.
Step 6: Restoring the Landscape
The final step is restoring the landscape. Depending on the client’s vision, we can either seed the area for grass growth, lay sod, or even prepare the site for a new structure, like a garden or patio. Our team ensures the newly filled area blends seamlessly with the rest of your yard, leaving it looking as if the pool was never there.
