Capital reasons to remove your unused swimming pool
Having unused, outdated or unwanted swimming pools removed can be beneficial in many ways:
Reclaim and repurpose the valuable space they occupy
Maintenance costs are a drain on finances that can be better used elsewhere
An unused pool can present safety concerns and may be an accident risk
Older, or damaged pools may have leaks that allow chemically treated, or stagnant water to contaminate soil
Swimming pools that are no longer in use can be hazardous to people, wildlife and the environment. If neglected, the water can stagnate and become a breeding ground for disease carrying mosquitoes, bacteria and odours. The structure of the pool can deteriorate, and develop cracks and leaks that can be damaging to the soil. Well-maintained pools may remain safe, but if unused, the ongoing costs for water, utilities and chemicals deplete funds that could be used more purposefully. The space taken up by an unwanted pool can be reclaimed, repurposed, and be more beneficial to you. Imagine all the things you can do with it!
The Capital Demolition pool removal process
The removal of unwanted swimming pools requires careful planning, from the initial meeting with clients to the final clean up and hand over. At Capital, we start with a client meeting to discuss the project requirements and arrange a site inspection. As safety considerations are an integral part of the planning and execution of pool removal projects, we’ll do a site visit, where we will assess the situation. We’ll check the exact location of the pool, the type of pool, the materials used in its construction, and its overall condition. Whether the pool is old, in a state of disrepair, or in good condition will affect what procedures will need to be implemented to safely remove it. If damaged or with leakage problems, the soil may be contaminated, making it necessary to include soil remediation in our operation.
After the site assessment, our team will strategically plan the removal operation and provide a comprehensive quote that includes all costs and timelines required for the project. We will handle any necessary paperwork and permits on your behalf.
Capital is all about safety first! We will ensure utilities attached to the pool are disconnected and, if necessary, place safety signage and barricades in appropriate positions. Our team will empty and dismantle the pool, safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on the environment and surroundings. The structural materials will be contained and removed from the site to be thoughtfully disposed of. If any of the debris is salvageable, we will ensure it is made available for recycling.
If the unwanted pool was in good condition with no leakages, we will top up the space with clean fill, compact it, and leave a level, usable space ready for a new building, shed, garden, play area or other new purpose. If there are issues that may have contaminated the soil, we will do a decontamination and remediation.
