Above-Ground Pool Removal
Quick & Easy Above-Ground Pool Removal
A swimming pool is often the centerpiece of a backyard. Above-ground swimming pools create summer fun, relaxation, and family time. But when an above-ground pool starts leaking, rusting, or showing its age, the upkeep becomes more trouble than it’s worth. Leaking vinyl liners, warped resin pools, rotting bottom tracks, or rusted steel-frame pools often make repairs more expensive than investing in a new activity for your backyard space.
That’s when calling for a professional pool removal service is the smartest choice. At Simon Says Junk It, we offer complete pool removal and junk removal to free your yard from unwanted pools, decking, or clutter. Our pool demolition crew dismantles everything, loads it into our disposal trucks, and hauls it away according to local and environmental regulations. We handle removal in Kuna as well as Boise, Meridian, and Nampa, making it easy for homeowners to reclaim their outdoor spaces.
Why Remove an Above-Ground Pool?
Pools that once were enjoyable can become headaches for many reasons:
- Safety Reasons – Aging structural components, loose top rails, and torn pool liners pose risks of injury.
- High Maintenance – Pool care costs add up. Replacing a broken pump motor, treating chemicals, maintaining an SWG-type saltwater generator, or learning from “Pool School” programs at pool stores isn’t worth it for an unused pool.
- Property Clean Up – Removing unused pools improves pool location aesthetics, boosts property value, and creates new backyard space for patios, fire pits, outdoor play sets, or even a tennis court.
- Pool Condition & Materials – Old hybrid pools or vinyl liner pools with rusted walls, damaged liner walls, or badly warped steel frame supports can’t be safely repaired.
- Partial Pool Removal – Sometimes homeowners choose partial pool removal for in-ground pools or concrete pools, but with above-ground models, it’s almost always best to do a full pool removal for complete yard restoration.
- Upgrade Options – Want to replace it with a new patio, shed, or even explore hot tub removal and upgrades? Clearing out your old pool is step one.
Why DIY Pool Removal Is Not Easy
Some homeowners attempt DIY pool removal, but it’s a lot harder than expected.
- Heavy Pool Components – Moving bulky steel-frame pools, resin pools, or fiberglass pools requires multiple people and specialized tools & equipment for safe hauling.
- Water Drainage – Pools must be drained properly with a sump pump, garden hose, or discharge port before dismantling. Incorrect drainage may violate local regulations or create water damage in your yard.
- Deck Removal & Fence Removal – Many pools are surrounded by decks, fences, or landscaping features that add more demolition work.
- Debris Disposal – You can’t just toss pool materials like pool accessories, filters, or structural components in weekly trash. Hauling requires trucks, time, and often large disposal costs at facilities.
- Hazardous Materials – Old vegetation killer, contaminated liners, or chemicals sometimes stored near pools count as hazardous materials that require careful handling.
Our full-service team eliminates these headaches. We do all the dismantling, draining, loading, and debris disposal for you—safely and professionally.
