Inground Swimming Pool Demolition and Removal Services Buffalo, NY

Picture
​​Many home and business owners in Erie County are choosing to remove their swimming pools right now. Whether it’s the maintenance expenses, not using it, or wanting to repurpose the space, you can trust the Junk Escape and Demolition team to achieve the goals you have for removing this inground structure.
 
Before diving into this need, it’s important to review the services our team provides to ensure you can make an informed decision.
 
When would I Want to Remove an Inground Pool? Several common scenarios exist where Buffalo property owners decide removing an inground swimming pool is their best option. Here are some reasons why it might make sense in your situation.
 
You Aren’t Using It
Swimming pools are lots of fun when you use them regularly. However, as your family grows or your lifestyle changes, they might see less use. If your pool sits idle for the season, it might be more practical to remove it so that you can repurpose the space.
 
High Maintenance Expenses
Owning a swimming pool means you’re investing in its regular upkeep. That includes cleaning, balancing the chemicals, and maintaining the pumps and filters. Those costs add up over the year, so if the cost outweighs the benefits, removing it could save you some cash.
 
Increased Property Value
In some situations, removing an inground swimming pool can help your property increase in value. More buyers look for homes without this option because of the liability concerns that occur in some neighborhoods. Since it isn’t usually possible to use it year-round in Buffalo, repurposing that space could make it more attractive to a potential buyer.
 
Additional Yard Space
An inground swimming pool can use up a significant portion of your yard. As your needs change, using that space for a garden, outdoor entertainment area, or a new deck might be better. Cutting the concrete out or removing the fiberglass shell is a practical way to achieve those goals.
 
Structural Damage
Older pools can develop leaks and other problems that require costly repairs. The expense could be more than the value it provides. If you find yourself in this situation, opting to remove it could be the most cost-effective solution.
 
Local Regulation Compliance
Buffalo has specific regulations on inground swimming pool ownership that must be followed. These items include inspections, fencing, and safety features. Some property owners find that following these rules can be expensive or burdensome, so removing the concrete or shell is a simpler option that makes more sense.
 
What to Expect from Our Inground Swimming Pool Removal Services
We specialize in dismantling and removing swimming pools from residential or commercial properties in Buffalo and the surrounding metro area. Although each situation is unique, the approach we take follows your specific needs and what the local regulations require.
 
Here is a quick overview of the process.

  • The pool must have the water drained from it before the demolition process begins.
  • We use heavy equipment to break up the pool’s structure, including the use of concrete cutting to facilitate a precise removal.
  • After removing the inground components, you can fill the area with your preferred materials.
  • The new space can be compacted for landscape renewal.
 
Instead of removing the walls and filling in the rest with soil or gravel for a partial removal, we can completely eliminate the entire structure. That includes the fiberglass shell or concrete, hauling it away as part of the restoration process.
 
Once completed, you can then fill the area with dirt and level it so that your future drainage will not be negatively impactful during precipitation events.
 
The demolition and removal process takes up to 14 days for most projects. Larger inground swimming pools often take more time.
 
Managing the Logistics of an Inground Swimming Pool Removal
The building department provides the specific details and requirements for inground pool removal projects in Buffalo. If you live outside the city, check with Erie County about what is necessary for your project.
 
Depending on where you live, it might be required to submit plans detailing how the debris is handled or what you intend to do with the property once the pool is gone.
 
Some HOAs and municipalities require this work to be completed by a licensed and insured contractor. That’s where the Junk Escape and Demolition team can help!
 
After the project, a city or county inspector typically verifies the work is completed according to the expected safety standards and applicable regulations.
 
Cutting Concrete Costs to Expect
A significant portion of the pool removal process involves cutting concrete to demolish the shell. We specialize in providing this service, delivering support for decks, floors, and walls.
 
Home and business owners in Buffalo will discover that we are the concrete cutting contractors that specialize in complete removal during the demolition process.
 
Our team uses saws, jackhammers, and breakers to ensure an efficient concrete demo and removal process.
 
Looking at the actual costs to expect, the average quote falls somewhere between $2 to $6 per square foot. Several factors play a role in your actual estimate, including the concrete’s thickness and how accessible the inground pool is on your property.
 
It is an intensive process, so the estimate includes elements like our labor, hauling fees, and disposal charges. Depending on the condition of the materials, some eco-friendly recycling options might be available.
 
We encourage all those interested in our swimming pool removal services to contact one of our friendly representatives for a no-obligation quote.
