The Hazards of DIY Pool Removal

Why not try to remove your pool yourself? Or, hire a general contractor to do it for you? Unfortunately, pool removal requires some expertise to do safely and in a way that satisfies your local building code. Even if you don’t mind risking a less than professional pool removal, the next owners of your home may try to hold you liable if something goes wrong for them.

When a pool removal isn’t completed properly, here are some potential problems:

  • Mudpuddle: It sounds harmless, but it isn’t. If your pool isn’t removed properly or doesn’t have the right mix of gravel and soil added, it may retain moisture instead of draining it away. When this happens, you can create a pit of mud that people can sink into and potentially drown.
  • Unstable ground: Even if you don’t develop a mud puddle, improper removal can leave the ground where the pool was unsteady. This becomes a problem if you build something on it.
  • Utilities: You may also run into problems if the utilities that run to the pool, such as water, electrical and gas, are not capped off properly.
  • Permit issues: If you or your contractor do not get a permit for pool removal, you could see consequences from the permit office.
