Swimming Pool Removal done properly can add value to your property.  We use geotechnical engineers to ensure when we remove a pool that the entire area being torn up is correctly compacted. This means when you go to sell your property, you have assurance that the job was done correctly.  Pool Envy is a licensed contractor in Wisconsin, and we take out all applicable permits for each demolition and swimming pool removal that we do as required by the local municipality.  the cost to remove will depend on the size of the pool along with the cost of the pool removal permits.

Having the necessary equipment to complete removal work is something you should look for in a pool removal.  Often, there is a significant amount of concrete that must be broken up and removed. A small excavator could mean days of wasted time.  Many of our pool removals are done with machines that exceed 50,000 pounds.
