Philadelphia Pool Demolition Contractors - All Around Removal
As a third-generation pool demolition contractor serving Philadelphia for over 30 years, I've seen countless families transform their backyards from maintenance headaches into beautiful, usable spaces. Just last month, I helped a family in Fishtown remove their cracked inground pool that had been sitting empty for three years after storm damage. Within two days, we had completely demolished the structure and filled the area, giving them back 600 square feet of yard space their kids could actually enjoy.
Here in Philadelphia, aging pools present unique challenges that many homeowners don't anticipate. Our harsh winters cause concrete to crack and shift, while the city's clay soil creates drainage issues that can turn pool removal into a complex project. I've worked in neighborhoods from Center City to Northeast Philly, and I understand how each area's soil conditions and local regulations affect the demolition process.
The biggest pain point I hear from Philadelphia homeowners is the overwhelming nature of pool removal. Many assume it's simply about breaking up concrete, but proper pool demolition involves understanding utilities, drainage, soil compaction, and city permitting requirements. A poorly executed removal can lead to foundation issues, flooding problems, or costly repairs down the road.
That's where our family's three decades of local experience makes the difference. We don't just demolish pools – we restore your property to its full potential while ensuring every step meets Philadelphia's building codes and environmental requirements. Your backyard transformation starts with one call to All Around Removal Philadelphia.
Our Complete Process
Complete Pool Demolition Process
Our pool demolition service in Philadelphia follows a systematic approach that addresses the unique challenges of our local environment. We begin with a thorough site assessment, checking for utilities and understanding your property's drainage patterns – crucial in Philadelphia where many homes deal with basement water issues. Our team handles all necessary permits through the city's L&I department, ensuring your project meets local regulations from start to finish.
The demolition process involves several critical steps that many contractors overlook. We start by draining and disconnecting all electrical and plumbing connections, then carefully break down the pool structure using specialized equipment designed for Philadelphia's tight residential spaces. Our compact machinery can navigate the narrow driveways common in neighborhoods like South Philly and Port Richmond, where larger equipment simply won't fit.
Inground Pool Removal Expertise
Inground pools in Philadelphia present unique challenges due to our area's freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil composition. Over the years, I've removed pools from Victorian-era homes in Queen Village to newer constructions in the Northeast, each requiring different approaches based on the pool's age, construction method, and surrounding landscape.
Our inground removal process includes complete concrete breaking, rebar removal, and proper backfill using engineered materials that won't settle over time. We understand Philadelphia's soil conditions and use the appropriate fill materials to prevent future sinking or drainage issues. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that simply filling a pool with dirt can create problems years later – that's why we follow industry best practices for permanent results.
Above Ground Pool Teardown
While above ground pools might seem simpler to remove, Philadelphia's weather conditions often complicate the process. Years of harsh winters can make vinyl liners brittle and cause metal components to corrode, requiring careful handling during removal. We safely dismantle all components, properly dispose of materials according to Philadelphia's waste management requirements, and restore your yard to its original condition.
Our team handles everything from small 18-foot round pools to large oval installations, ensuring complete removal of all components including the foundation ring, supports, and any concrete footings. We also address any drainage issues that may have developed around the pool area – a common problem in Philadelphia yards where water tends to collect.
Customer-Centric Approach
At All Around Removal, the customer always comes first. We tailor our services to meet your unique needs, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience from start to finish. Our friendly and professional team is dedicated to exceeding your expectations, making your satisfaction our top priority.
Eco-Friendly Practices
We are committed to environmental responsibility. By prioritizing recycling and donating usable items, we minimize landfill waste and promote sustainability. Our eco-friendly disposal methods reflect our dedication to preserving the environment for future generations.

Understanding the value of your time, we offer flexible scheduling, including same-day and next-day services. Our efficient team arrives on time, ready to handle your junk removal or demolition needs swiftly and effectively, ensuring your space is cleared without delay.
Why Philadelphia Homeowners Trust All Around Removal
Three Decades of Local Pool Demolition Experience
Since 1994, our family has been helping Philadelphia homeowners reclaim their backyards through professional pool removal services. What started as a father-and-son operation has grown into Philadelphia's most trusted demolition contractor, but we've never lost our commitment to treating every project like it's our own family's property. I've personally overseen pool demolitions from the historic homes of Germantown to the row houses of South Philadelphia, learning the unique challenges each neighborhood presents.
Our experience spans every type of pool removal you can imagine – from 1950s kidney-shaped pools in Chestnut Hill to modern infinity pools in Rittenhouse Square. This depth of experience means we've encountered virtually every challenge Philadelphia pools can present, from unexpected utility lines beneath decades-old installations to dealing with the unique soil conditions found throughout our city's diverse neighborhoods.
Community Involvement and Local Recognition
As a family-owned Philadelphia business, we believe in giving back to the communities that have supported us for three decades. We're proud members of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce and have been recognized by the Better Business Bureau for our commitment to customer satisfaction. Our team regularly participates in neighborhood cleanup events and has donated demolition services to local community gardens and non-profit organizations throughout the city.
Last year, we were honored to help the Fairmount Park Conservancy with a pool removal project that transformed an abandoned space into a community gathering area. Projects like these remind us why we chose to keep our business local rather than expanding beyond the Philadelphia area – we're not just contractors, we're neighbors invested in making our city better.
Customer Success Stories Across Philadelphia
The Murphy family in Manayunk called us after their 40-year-old inground pool developed major structural cracks following a particularly harsh winter. Within a week, we had completely removed the pool and restored their yard, giving them space for their daughter's graduation party that spring. Mrs. Chen in Chinatown needed her above-ground pool removed quickly when she decided to sell her home – our team completed the entire project in one day, helping her close on schedule.
In Fishtown, we helped transform the Johnson family's backyard from a maintenance nightmare into a beautiful garden space where they now host neighborhood barbecues. These aren't just jobs to us – they're relationships built on trust, reliability, and the satisfaction of seeing Philadelphia families make the most of their properties.
Our reputation has been built one satisfied customer at a time, with over 85% of our new business coming from referrals and repeat customers throughout Philadelphia's neighborhoods. When your neighbors trust us with their most important investment – their home – you can be confident we'll treat your project with the same care and professionalism.
