Palo Alto's Top Rate Pool Removal Team
Sometimes the idea of owning a pool sounds better than the reality. If you are sick and tired of paying for your backyard pool that seldom used, then use our Palo Alto pool removal service to handle the problem.
Our professional team takes care of all the hard work involved in demolishing, removing and filling-in your old pool. Below are some common questions and answers we receive about pool removal in Palo Alto.
How much does removing a pool cost?
This depends on the size of your pool and any unusual circumstances regarding removal. 
No two Palo Alto pool demolition projects are exactly alike, so we prepare our quotes based on our customer consultation. During this time, we will explain the pricing for obtaining all necessary permits as well as the labor cost for breaking and removing the pool. Extra costs may need to be factored in if we cannot access your backyard with our heavy machinery. While pool demolition may sound expensive, many homeowners find that in the end they save money by choosing to remove the pool instead of having to constantly pay for maintenance and insurance.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. The law requires that all pool demolition contractors in Palo Alto get the necessary permit 
before starting work. This is to make sure that removal is done correctly, and reputable contractors don't have any problem with getting a permit. If the contractor that you hired doesn't want to get a permit, then use another contractor.
How long does it take to remove a pool?
Our Palo Alto, CA pool excavation and removal service times largely depend on the size of the pool, but there are other factors to consider. For example, properly draining a pool full of water can add an extra day or two onto the estimated work time. Excavation and demolition of the pool's shell typically depends on the material. Demolishing a vinyl pool takes between 2 to 3 days. Concrete pools require more time and effort to tear apart. We understand that no homeowner wants to deal with large machines breaking concrete in their backyard for weeks on end, and our objective is to remove your pool as quickly and safely as possible.
Is it safe to build over the old pool area?
Once we take the pool out, many homeowners are eager to return to their backyard once again. If the full pool removal and fill-in was done correctly, then you should be able to build over the former pool area. This is where hiring a professional California pool removal contractor is crucial. Our company takes all steps to ensure that the fill-in is done perfectly. This includes consulting with the soils engineer and only using fresh dirt that is properly compacted during the fill-in process. By using our pool removal services, you won't have to worry about subsidence problems in your backyard.
