Pool Removal Tips for Birch Harbor, ME

A pool fill-in—or partial pool removal—does not involve removing the entire pool, thus saving you time and money. Many homeowners choose this option as it is cheaper, faster, and does not take as long as a full removal. Pool fill-ins work as follows:

  • Drain the pool.
  • Punch holes into the bottom of the pool.
  • Demolish the top layer of the pool (18 in.-36 in.).
  • Place the rubble in the bottom of the pool.
  • Fill in the pool with additional dirt and topsoil.
  • Compact the soil.

Unless your city requires, a partial pool removal can be done without the oversight of an engineering technician. Be sure to confirm this with your contractor and/or local code enforcement entity.
