In-Ground Pool Demolition and Backfill Services

Removing an in-ground pool isn’t just about breaking up concrete. It must be done properly, safely, and in full compliance with local regulations. In most municipalities across Durham Region and Toronto, partial swimming pool demolition methods that leave large sections of concrete in place are not permitted. We follow all Ontario by-laws to ensure your swimming pool removal in Oshawa and surrounding areas is completed safely and in full compliance with local regulations.

Our swimming pool demolition services include full or by-law-compliant partial demolition, followed by proper pool removal and backfill. We use approved fill materials and compaction techniques to prevent future issues. As a company that specializes in safe demolition services, we also recycle debris wherever possible. Your property is left stable, clean, and ready for landscaping or construction.

Our Safe Pool Removal Process

Every pool removal starts with planning. We handle utility disconnections, obtain permits, and ensure everything is code-compliant. Our team works closely with licensed professionals to safely disconnect plumbing and electrical systems.

Once the site is prepared, we begin the demolition. Our crew uses specialized equipment to remove concrete and gunite with precision. All debris is cleared, and safety is maintained throughout. For backfilling, we use engineered fill and compact the soil in layers. This prevents drainage problems and ensures the area remains stable for future landscaping or construction.

Why Remove a Swimming Pool?

Let’s face it: there are plenty of reasons to remove a pool. The constant maintenance is probably one of the biggest. Chemical treatments, repairs, seasonal open/close procedures—it’s exhausting. Or maybe the kids have all moved out, and that pool is no longer the luxury it once was.

Pool removal means less hassle, lower maintenance costs, and reduced liability. Plus, you get back valuable space in your backyard for something more useful. Whether it’s a garden, a deck, or a simple open lawn for the family, removing that pool opens up new possibilities.
