Professional Pool Demolition Services
Sometimes removing a pool is the right decision. Whether you're reclaiming yard space, addressing safety concerns, or preparing for new construction, professional pool demolition requires expertise and proper execution.
North Bay Aquatics provides complete pool and spa demolition services, from full removal to partial demolition. We handle all aspects of the process—draining, breaking, removal, backfilling, and site restoration—ensuring your property is left clean, safe, and ready for its next use.
Demolition Options
Full Removal
Complete removal of the pool shell, plumbing, equipment, and decking. The pool is broken up, removed, and the site is backfilled and graded. Ideal when you want to reclaim the space entirely.
Partial Demolition
Removal of specific sections of the pool while preserving other areas. Useful when you want to modify pool size or shape, or remove only damaged sections.
Fill-In Option
Pool is broken up in place and filled with clean fill material. More cost-effective than full removal but requires proper drainage and compaction. Suitable for areas where complete removal isn't necessary.
Spa Removal
Standalone spa demolition and removal. Smaller scale project that can be completed efficiently while preserving surrounding landscape and structures.

Common Reasons for Pool Removal
Reclaim Yard Space
Create more usable outdoor space for gardens, patios, play areas, or other landscaping features.
Safety Concerns

Maintenance Costs
