Types of Above Ground Pools We Remove
Above ground pools come in various frame types, each requiring different removal techniques.
Steel Frame Pools
Steel frame pools are the most common and affordable option in the above ground pool market. These pools feature steel components, including walls, uprights, and top rails. Whilst steel pools offer strength and durability, they can rust over time, particularly in coastal environments. Our team can handle your steel pool removal, recycling metal components whenever possible.
Resin Frame Pools
Resin pools feature steel walls with resin frame components like top rails, uprights, and connectors. The resin material stays cooler to the touch in hot weather and includes a UV protection coating to prevent cracking and flaking. These pools are rust-resistant and work particularly well as saltwater pools. Swimming pool removal for resin pools is normally straightforward due to the lightweight materials.
Hybrid Frame Pools
Hybrid pools have steel walls, offering steel’s structural integrity with corrosion-resistant resin components.
Hybrid frame pools cost more than standard steel options but require less maintenance over their lifespan. Pool removal for hybrid structures involves dismantling both material types safely.
Inflatable and Soft-Sided Pools
Inflatable pools feature air-filled rings or soft-sided walls supported by a metal frame. These temporary pool structures are the simplest to dismantle and remove. Whilst these pools don’t require professional removal services, we can assist with larger models or those integrated with decking systems.
Benefits of Professional Above Ground Pool Removal
Removing an unwanted pool can produce more advantages than extra outdoor space:
Reduced Ongoing Costs
Pool ownership involves continual expenses for chemicals, electricity to run pumps, water to top up evaporation, equipment repairs, and regular cleaning. Pool demolition eliminates these recurring costs, giving substantial savings over time.
Enhanced Property Value
Above ground pools can be seen as undesirable by potential buyers. Removing the pool before selling can increase your home’s overall value.
Increased Usable Space
The additional room opens up new possibilities for outdoor entertaining and landscaping.
Improved Safety
Old pools are drowning hazards. Pool removal eliminates these serious safety risks and the associated liability concerns.
Simplified Property Maintenance
Pools require constant attention, including chemical balancing, cleaning, monitoring water levels and equipment monitoring. Removing your pool frees up time previously spent on pool care, allowing more time for enjoying your outdoor space rather than maintaining it.
The Above Ground Pool Removal Process
Our above ground pool demolition projects follow proven steps that have been refined through years of experience.
Electrical Disconnection
We begin every project by disconnecting all electrical connections to pool pumps, lights, and heating systems. Licensed electricians handle this step, including capping off electrical lines according to Australian safety standards, to eliminate any electrical hazards during the removal process.
Pool Draining
The pool must be completely emptied before dismantling can begin. Submersible pumps are positioned at the pool’s lowest point to drain water efficiently. The drainage hose is directed to a suitable area that can handle the water volume without causing flooding or damage to your property or neighbouring homes. This process can take several hours, depending on pool size and pump capacity.
Equipment Removal
Once drained, we disconnect and remove all pool equipment, including pumps, filters, hoses, and heating units. Sand or silica is also removed from filter systems. Removable accessories, such as ladders, skimmers, and return fittings, are taken apart and prepared for disposal or recycling.
Liner and Wall Dismantling
The pool liner is cut into sections using utility knives. Wall panels are then disassembled by removing the posts and supports around the pool perimeter. Metal components, including steel walls, uprights, and top rails, are separated for recycling. This systematic dismantling prevents damage to surrounding landscaping and structures.
Deck and Base Removal
If your pool includes decking, we dismantle and remove all deck materials as part of the service. The pool base, normally sand or foam board, is cleared away, and the ground is levelled. Any remaining debris is removed from the site.
Site Restoration
The final step involves levelling and grading the area where your pool once stood. We leave the space ready for immediate use or future landscaping projects. All materials are taken from your property, leaving you with a clean, usable yard.
