A MESSAGE FROM ALABAMA'S #1 HUNTSVILLE POOL REMOVAL TEAM:
Huntsville, AL property owner,
We take out in-ground pools and give you the yard back. You can go two ways on it: a partial fill-in, where we break up the shell and bury it in place, or a full removal, where the whole structure comes out and we rebuild the cavity with engineered fill. The second costs more, and it is the one that leaves you able to build on the ground later. We work across Huntsville and the towns around it.
The pool stopped being worth what it costs you. Maybe it has not been swum in for years, maybe the liner and the pump are both due, maybe you want the yard back before you sell. Whichever it is, you are not repairing it — you are done with it. You want somebody who turns up, tells you straight what it needs, and does it properly the first time. The typical Huntsville property dates to around 1984, so the housing stock here is mostly seventies and eighties. At roughly 54 inches of rain a year, damp is usually somewhere in the story.
Someone attends, inspects the real condition and takes measurements. Nothing here is priced off a photo.
Broken out line by line, including what is excluded, so another company's number means something next to ours.
Sometimes the answer is that it does not need doing yet. We would rather tell you that than sell you something.
You might know this as pool demolition. Same work, either name. Everything below is work we handle directly, not passed to a third party.

Most jurisdictions require a demolition permit and an inspection of the drainage holes before backfill. Gas, electric and water runs to the pool equipment have to be located and properly disconnected.

The pool is pumped down, and where the water is chemically treated it usually cannot simply go to the storm drain. Discharge routing is a real line item that gets overlooked in cheap quotes.

For a partial, the top courses come down and the floor is punctured for drainage. For a full removal, the entire gunite or fiberglass shell is broken out and hauled away.

Fill is placed in lifts and mechanically compacted, rather than pushed in loose. This is the step that determines whether the yard sinks in three years, and it is where corners get cut.

Pumps, filters, heaters, the equipment pad, coping, and surrounding decking may or may not be included. Concrete decking around a pool is a significant additional volume of demolition.

Final grade is shaped to drain away from the house and topsoil placed for planting. Seed or sod is often quoted separately, and the ground will need topping up as it settles.
A cross-section of the jobs we handle around Huntsville — different sizes, different conditions, same standard.








We work Huntsville and the towns around it every week. We also cover Madison, Redstone Arsenal, Meridianville, Moores Mill, Harvest, Owens Cross Roads, Gurley and Triana. We know what the buildings here are like and how they age.
Licensed, insured, and directly employed. Your job does not get passed to whoever happened to be free that week.
This is the whole job for us. Pool Removal is not something we picked up to fill gaps between other work. Access is measured, shell construction identified, and the partial-versus-full decision made against what you intend to do with the space afterwards.
The price is agreed up front. If we find something that changes it, you see the thing itself before you see a new number.
Anything to do with pool removal. To start with: permits and utility locate, draining and disposal, demolition of the shell, backfill and compaction, equipment and decking, grading and restoration. If you need something that is not on that list, call and ask – we can usually quote it or tell you honestly who should.
We cover Huntsville, AL and the surrounding towns – Madison, Redstone Arsenal, Meridianville, Moores Mill, Harvest, Owens Cross Roads, Gurley, Triana, Mooresville, Decatur, Athens, New Market, Hartselle, Hazel Green, New Hope, Woodville, Priceville, Blanche, Taft, Somerville, Ardmore, Elkmont, Cherokee Ridge, Union Grove, and more. If you do not see your town listed, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether we can get to you.
Permits and utility locate – Most jurisdictions require a demolition permit and an inspection of the drainage holes before backfill. Gas, electric and water runs to the pool equipment have to be located and properly disconnected.; Draining and disposal – The pool is pumped down, and where the water is chemically treated it usually cannot simply go to the storm drain. Discharge routing is a real line item that gets overlooked in cheap quotes.; Demolition of the shell – For a partial, the top courses come down and the floor is punctured for drainage. For a full removal, the entire gunite or fiberglass shell is broken out and hauled away.. Which one is right depends on what we find when we look at it, and we will walk you through the trade-offs rather than picking for you.
Permits and utility locate is the one we are asked about most often in Huntsville. Most jurisdictions require a demolition permit and an inspection of the drainage holes before backfill. Gas, electric and water runs to the pool equipment have to be located and properly disconnected.
Most jobs land between $2,500 and $16,000 per in-ground pool, depending on condition and scope. We come out, look at it, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We are not the cheapest outfit in Huntsville and we will not pretend to be – but you will know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
Partial versus full removal: The single biggest lever, worth roughly double. Full removal means hauling the entire shell off site and importing engineered fill, rather than burying the material that is already there. That is usually the biggest single swing in a quote, which is why we look before we price.
Yes. We stand behind what we do and we put the terms in writing with the estimate, so the guarantee is not a handshake you have to remember later.
Call us at (256) 993-3025, or fill in the quote form on this page. We will get back to you, set a time that suits, and come look at the job.
Free estimate, in writing, from a Huntsville team that does this every day.
