Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Removal

What are the different types of pool liners?

The type of pool liner impacts the removal process and can influence the overall cost. Common pool liners include:

• Vinyl Liners: These are the most common and typically the easiest to remove. They are relatively thin and flexible.
• Fiberglass Liners: Fiberglass pools have a smooth, non-porous surface. Removing them involves breaking up the fiberglass shell, which can be more labor-intensive.
• Concrete Pools: Concrete pools are the most durable but also the most complex to remove. Demolition typically involves breaking up the concrete with heavy equipment like jackhammers or excavators.

Your pool removal contractor will assess your pool's liner type to determine the most appropriate removal method.

What questions should I ask a pool removal contractor?

Key questions include:

• How long have you been in business?
• Are you licensed and insured?
• Can you provide references?
• What is your process for pool removal?
• How do you handle debris disposal?

How often should I drain my pool?

The frequency of draining your pool depends on factors such as its usage, climate, and the type of pool. In general, most pools should be drained and refilled every 2-3 years. However, certain situations, such as significant chemical imbalances, algae blooms, or major repairs, may necessitate more frequent draining. It's best to consult with a pool professional or refer to your pool manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.

What is the process for pool removal?

The typical steps for inground pool removal include:

1. Obtaining necessary permits.
2. Draining the pool.
3. Demolishing the pool structure (partial or complete).
4. Backfilling the hole with appropriate material.
5. Compacting the fill and restoring the site.

Above-ground pool removal is simpler, involving dismantling the pool structure and potentially removing the base.
