Why Remove Your Old Swimming Pool?
An unused, unwanted or deteriorating swimming pool can be a financial and safety burden. Rising electricity, water and chemical costs often outweigh the benefits of a pool that is rarely used, while old structures and fencing can introduce serious risks.
In Wollongong’s coastal and high-rainfall environment, leaking or damaged pools can cause drainage and soil issues, potentially impacting surrounding structures and future building plans.
- Reclaim valuable yard space for gardens, lawns or outdoor living
- Eliminate your repeat expenses for pumps, filters, chemicals and repairs
- Remove the safety risks for children, pets and visitors
- Avoid leaks, soil contamination and drainage problems
- Improve property appeal and resale value
- Resolve compliance issues with ageing pool fencing and structures
Our Swimming Pool Removal Options
The most suitable pool removal method depends on aspects of your property, including access, pool construction, soil conditions and how you plan to use the space in the future.
We provide advice to help you choose the best solution for you and your family.
Inground Pool Removal
This method removes the complete pool structure.
All concrete, steel, fibreglass or liners are broken up and transported to licensed facilities, with the void backfilled and compacted in layers to support your future plans for the area.
- Entire pool shell and base removed
- Backfill compacted in layers to ensure stability
- Perfect for landscaping, sheds or new building works (subject to engineering)
Above Ground Pool Removal
While above ground pools may appear simple to dismantle, they often involve electrical disconnection, waste handling and the safe removal of supporting structures.
Our team can remove above ground pools efficiently with minimal disruption to your property and neighbours.
- Isolation of pumps, filters and electrical connections
- Dismantling of frames, liners, decks and platforms
- Eco-friendly and cost-effective recycling and disposal of materials
- Area left clear, level and ready for reuse
Our Wollongong Pool Removal Process
Swimming pool removal in New South Wales is regulated, so planning and compliance with the rules are as important as machinery and labour.
At House Demolition Wollongong, we have a well-proven step-by-step swimming pool removal process:
Site Inspection
We begin with an assessment to review access, pool type, condition, surrounding structures, drainage and services.
As follow-up, we provide a written quote covering demolition, waste removal, backfill, permits and clean-up.
- Site inspection by experienced demolition professionals
- Honest, itemised pricing and proposed timelines
- No hidden extras or last-minute surprises
Council Approvals
Most swimming pool removals in Wollongong must comply with Wollongong City Council and NSW regulations relating to drainage, fencing and site safety.
Our team can help with the approvals and ensure all work is up to current standards.
- Compliance with local pool decommissioning and drainage rules
- Temporary fencing and site security during works
- Documentation and photos are available on-demand
Drain-Down
Pool water must be discharged responsibly to protect stormwater systems, your neighbours and the environment. Any services, such as electricity, are safely isolated, and the site is secured.
- Eco-friendly pool water discharge
- Safe disconnection of pumps, lights and filtration systems
- Temporary fencing, barriers and signage to restrict site access
- Access planning to protect driveways, paths and landscaping
Demolition and Backfill
Once the site is prepared, the pool structure is broken up. We use machinery which is best for the space and ground conditions. All material is removed from the site, and the area is backfilled and compacted.
- Concrete, brick, fibreglass and steel demolished
- All waste is removed. Taken to licensed recycling and disposal facilities
- Clean fill material installed and compacted
- Final trim and levelling ready for turf, paving or further works
What You Can Do With Your New Space
When your pool is gone, you gain valuable space that can support your family’s lifestyle or future plans.
Our pool removals are backfilled and compacted, so you have more options for the space.
- New lawn or landscaped garden areas
- Safer play space for children. What about a tennis court or basketball hoops?
- Outdoor entertaining, decks or pergolas
- Space for sheds or new builds
