Question 1

How much does pool removal cost in Tampa?

Accepted Answer

Pool removal in Tampa ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 for a standard residential pool. Partial pool removal (filling in with gravel and dirt) costs $5,000 to $8,000. Full pool removal (complete excavation) costs $10,000 to $15,000. Size, accessibility, and type of pool (concrete, fiberglass, vinyl) affect pricing.

Question 2

What is the difference between partial and full pool removal?

Accepted Answer

Partial pool removal involves breaking the top 18-24 inches of pool walls, punching drainage holes in the bottom, and filling with clean compactable fill. Full removal means completely excavating the entire pool structure. Partial is cheaper but the area cannot support a new structure. Full removal restores the land for any future use.

Question 3

Do I need a permit to remove a pool in Tampa?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pool removal requires a demolition permit in Hillsborough and Pasco counties. You also need to properly disconnect electrical, plumbing, and gas lines. If the pool is enclosed by a screen enclosure, that may require a separate removal permit. We handle all permitting as part of our service.

Question 4

How long does pool removal take?

Accepted Answer

Pool removal typically takes 2-5 days. Partial removal is faster (2-3 days), while full excavation takes 3-5 days. After removal, the area needs time to settle before you landscape or build on it. We recommend waiting 3-6 months before planting or installing new features.
