Why Homeowners Remove Inground Swimming Pools

While pools can be enjoyable, many homeowners eventually decide removal is the best option for their property.

Common reasons homeowners in the Capital District choose pool removal include:

High maintenance and repair costs
Aging or damaged pool structures
Safety concerns for children or pets
Increased insurance liability
Preparing a property for sale
Wanting more usable backyard space

Removing a swimming pool can transform your yard and eliminate ongoing upkeep expenses. Depending on the pool’s size and condition, professional removal typically involves demolition, debris removal, and backfilling the area with compacted soil to restore the yard.

Our Inground Pool Removal Process

At Frank Santoro & Sons, we use proven excavation and demolition methods to safely remove pools and restore your property.

Our pool removal process typically includes:

1. Site Inspection & Free Estimate

We visit your property to evaluate the pool size, access, and surrounding landscape to determine the best removal method.

2. Drain and Prepare the Pool

Water is safely removed and the surrounding area is prepared for demolition.

3. Pool Demolition

The pool structure (concrete, vinyl, or fiberglass) is broken apart using excavation equipment.

4. Debris Removal

Concrete, steel, and other materials are hauled away from the property.

5. Backfilling and Compaction

The area is filled with soil or gravel and compacted to prevent settling.

6. Final Grading

We grade and restore the area so it can be used for lawn, landscaping, or future projects.

Our team uses proper compaction techniques and professional excavation equipment to ensure the area is stable and properly restored.

Partial vs. Full Pool Removal

Depending on your goals and budget, there are two common methods of inground pool removal.

Partial Pool Removal

Also called a pool fill-in, this involves breaking up the top section of the pool and filling the remaining structure with compacted soil.

Benefits include:

Lower cost
Faster completion
Ideal for landscaping or yard expansion

Full Pool Removal

A complete demolition removes the entire pool structure and foundation.

Benefits include:

Allows future construction on the site
Maximum long-term property value
Eliminates all buried pool materials

We will help determine which option is best for your property during your estimate.
