How to Demolish a Pool

How To Demolish a Pool Drain the Pool First step to any pool demolition is to drain the pool if it is not already empty. It is easy to drain a pool by using a submersible pump. Punch Holes Make sure that you do not need any special permits to demolish the pool. Disconnect any gas lines or electrical wiring. Jack hammer large holes into the bottom of the pool about two feet in radius. A typical pool will need about three to four holes. Remove the Wall It is not easy to break pool walls and you may have to bring in a jack hammer to get the job done. The top two feet of concrete and reinforced steel will need to be removed. Backfill with Sand and Dirt Fill the pool with sand and dirt. Then compact it down periodically. Do some research on the soil in your area, once you know what soil will work best, you can start adding that soil until it is completely filled and compacted up to grade level. Add Topsoil Make sure that the last couple of inches of the pool are filled with topsoil. This step is especially important if you are going to landscape or have a garden. The general rule of thumb is for a vegetable garden you need 8-12 inches of topsoil, raised plants need 12-18 inches of topsoil and a lawn only requires 4-6 inches of topsoil.
