FAQ’s About Pool Demolition

Yes, most municipalities require a permit for pool demolition. Our team will handle the entire permitting process and ensure everything is done according to local regulations.

Yes. We remove all types of pools, including in-ground concrete, vinyl-lined, and fiberglass pools, as well as above-ground units. Each type requires a different removal method, and we’re equipped for all of them.

Partial removal involves breaking up and removing the top portion of the pool and filling in the rest. Full removal means taking out the entire structure, including the walls and floor. We’ll help you decide which option is best based on your future plans for the space.

Most pool removals take between 2 to 5 days, depending on the size, material, and access to the site.

After demolition, we fill and compact the area using proper backfill techniques to ensure stability. This leaves your yard ready for new landscaping, construction, or open green space.

Yes. We handle all debris removal, recycling concrete or metal when possible, and leaving your property clean and safe.

In some cases, yes. Removing a pool can increase the value of your home by reducing maintenance costs, eliminating liability risks, and opening up usable yard space—especially in neighborhoods where pools are less common.

Yes, particularly with a full removal. If you’re planning to build on the site (like a patio, addition, or garage), a full pool removal with proper backfill and compaction is strongly recommended.

We recommend clearing the area of furniture, pool equipment, or fencing that may be in the way. We’ll handle the rest, including utility checks, permits, and all demolition and cleanup work.

Costs vary depending on the pool’s size, type, access to the site, and whether you’re doing a partial or full removal. Contact us for a free, customized estimate.

We had an amazing experience with St. Louis Demolition Company! We hired them to demolish our basement as part of a major renovation, and they did an outstanding job from start to finish. Cody and Juan were absolutely fantastic to work with! They were professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They worked quickly while still taking the time to explain everything throughout the process. What really stood out was their communication. They regularly checked in with us, asked questions to make sure everything was being done exactly how we wanted, and made sure we were comfortable with each step. They made what could have been a stressful part of our basement renovation an incredibly smooth and easy experience. We couldn't be happier with the work they did and the level of professionalism they showed. If you're looking for a reliable, hardworking demolition crew that genuinely cares about doing the job right, I cannot recommend St. Louis Demolition Company enough! Special thanks to Cody and Juan for doing such an excellent job!

St. Louis Demolition Company did an amazing job for me. I needed a non-load bearing concrete block wall and a rectangular elevated concrete pad demo’ed and removed from my basement as the first phase of a room remodel. They took great care in covering my stairs and erecting a plastic barrier wall to contain any dust and dirt which is expected as part of a job like this. They had to break out the blocks, jackhammer the floor pad and hand-carry the debris up a flight of stairs to a portable dumpster. This wall was 8” away from the sewer drain from the main floor. Throughout this process, from the time of bidding the work through completion, this company was approachable and truly listened to the requirements of the job. The work started at 7 a.m. and was completed in one day. Everyone on the crew was friendly, and I felt I could ask Brad, Rachael or any of their crew about any concerns I might have. I am comfortable in recommending this company to anyone. If I need any demolition services in the future, I will contact St. Louis Demolition Company. Great job, all!

St. Louis Demolition Company made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Rachael’s LiDAR scan gave us a clear picture upfront, and Brad’s crew showed up on time, did exactly what they promised, and left the site spotless. Super easy to work with, and the job was done right.

Everyone was easy to talk to and understanding after needing things to be rescheduled a few times. Codey was the one on site and did a very good job. He exceeded my expectations on clean up and speed and keeping me updated on how things were going.

My home burned down in late February. It was devastating and very difficult to deal with. Brad and his crew were able to navigate all the permits and emotional issues around cleaning up a burned down home. They even rescued some of my stuff. Price was right, Work was great.

Cody and his partner with the STL Demolition Company did a great job with taking down my back porch in preparation for a rebuild. They were professional with the removal and clean up. The work was completed in one day! The cost was very reasonable as well! I look forward to working with STL Demolition for my rebuild. I recommend them for any of your demolition projects!

I called St. Louis Demolition Company in one of the most challenging times of my life to date. My wife and I had just lost our custom home we had and have worked all our lives to perfect and enjoy. An electrical fire burned our home in entirety in minutes. The man behind the scenes, Brad Bergen, was an instant source of calm, knowledge and compassion. We have since contracted with St Louis Demolition Company and they have begun work on our home. I can’t tell you how far the extent of knowledge Brad and his ENTIRE team possess goes. The photography equipment used to 3d model our burnt home is insane. Moreover, it was absolutely apparent to me (I am the furthest thing from a demolition expert) how much care Brads team took in combing through, handling and separating debris with extreme care and precision, separating everything according to debris type. The impact or footprint this demolition has had on my property thus far is nil. Brad is CONSTANTLY available, always responsive, and an above average communicator to say the least. You will find his life background as equally impressive as his demolition and building background, which creates a super awesome guy to work with. We are very much considering having Brad and his team rebuild our dream home after this demolition is complete. You are welcome to anyone who reads this as no more homework is necessary. You don’t have to have the fear of some idiot coming in and destroying something that could have been saved, or doing a sloppy and careless demolition. In your worst time of need, call St Louis Demolition Company.
