Irving Pool Builders provides professional pool demolition & removal in Irving, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Las Colinas and mid-cities area. Pool removal is sometimes the correct professional advice, and we'll do that job without spending an hour trying to sell you a remodel you didn't ask about. An inherited shell that has been green since you moved in, a rental where the liability outweighs the rent, a homeowner who would rather have a lawn and a workshop than a maintenance schedule: those are all good reasons and we've heard every one of them. There are two ways to do it and the difference genuinely matters at resale. Partial removal breaks out the top two to three feet of the shell, punches drainage holes through the floor so water can't pond underneath your yard, pushes the rubble in and caps it with soil. It's faster and cheaper, and it has to be disclosed to a future buyer as non-engineered fill, which makes some lenders and some builders nervous about ever putting a structure on that footprint. Full removal takes every piece of concrete, steel and plumbing off site and backfills in compacted lifts with engineered fill and compaction testing, so you finish with buildable ground and a clean disclosure. On North Texas clay the backfill is the whole job. Push the clay you just dug out back into the hole and it'll settle for years, giving you a shallow depression in the lawn that reappears every summer and reminds you of the pool. Engineered fill placed in lifts and tested is why a full removal stays flat. On partials we cap with a good soil layer and grade positive drainage away from the house, so the yard sheds water rather than storing it over a slab of buried concrete. Access is the same fight as building a pool, only running the other direction. On zero-lot-line Valley Ranch and Hackberry Creek lots we bring a mini-excavator through the gate, break the shell into pieces a conveyor can carry, and stage haul-off trucks on the street with the right permit rather than blocking a cul-de-sac all week. Figure three to seven days for a partial and one to two weeks for a full removal plus testing. We pull the City of Irving demolition permit either way, cap the gas and electrical properly, protect the fence line and irrigation for machine access, and finish with grading that sends water away from your foundation instead of toward it. Two honest alternatives before you commit. If the shell is sound and the only real problem is that the pool is green and expensive, a resurface plus a variable-speed pump costs a fraction of removal and keeps the resale value a pool carries in this market. And if you're removing it purely to sell the house, ask your agent and, if you can, ask the buyer first. Plenty of people moving to Irving specifically want the pool, and filling in a perfectly good one is a hard thing to undo.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, travertine coping and decking, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Irving and nearby communities including Coppell, Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool demolition & removal
The difference between pool demolition & removal that lasts and pool demolition & removal that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, one-piece fiberglass pool shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, glass mosaic and large-format porcelain tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Irving job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Las Colinas and mid-cities area means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
