It is hard to believe, but since 1994, over 1,500 people have hired our company to do the one thing you would never have thought of – to demolish, backfill, and remove their swimming pool and spa. You would think that almost every single person you know would hate this idea – especially here in California and going through the heat wave we are currently in. Don’t be fooled though, the benefits of removing your swimming pool, often outweigh the downside of not having one during those summer months. See below...
1) Financial gain, due to financially saving
People often say, “the best way to make money, is to save it” and with removing a swimming pool – you are doing just that in the long-term. The cost of maintaining a pool can become quite expensive on a yearly basis, with the average upkeep costs in California coming in around $2,832 EVERY SINGLE YEAR! A one-time cost for quality demolition, can leave you forgetting that price 5 years down the road when you already saved the exact amount you spent on removing it.
2) Demolition of Swimming Pools can HELP you sell your properties easier & quicker
Yes, swimming pools add more value to a property and homeowner can often get much bigger profit when they sell their place, BUT the increase in value will always make it more difficult to sell. Homes that are more affordable, often have potential homebuyer’s gravitation towards such houses that don’t have additional costs of pool maintenance, cleanings, repairs, and whatever risks are associated with having a pool nearby.
3) Safety, Safety, SAFETY
Demolition of swimming pools, brings a sense of peace knowing that your kids, pets, family members and friends will be safer in your home during the holidays, summer months, and regular Tuesday nights. Some recent concerns are younger children falling in (without parents knowing) and drowning, bacteria build up in pools that are not kept up to date on cleanings, and the chemicals for cleanings that do in fact have negative effect on someone’s body.
4) Space, Space, SPACE
Not having a swimming pool in your backyard could provide anywhere from 500 sq. feet to 800+ sq. feet of additional room for concrete, landscape, a mother in law casita, or even a new playground for your kids. This is almost as much space as a one bed room apartment being added to your backyard. It gives you the freedom of worrying less about the risks associated with a pool, and more about when to have your next backyard BBQ.
