Demolition of old or damaged pools FAQ
Yes. The City of Los Angeles requires specific permits for pool abandonment or removal. This ensures that the drainage and backfilling meet safety standards. Pools Los Angeles manages the entire permitting process for you.
In a partial removal, the top few feet of the pool are removed and the bottom is broken for drainage before being filled. A full removal involves taking out all concrete, steel, and debris. Full removal is recommended if you plan to build another structure in that spot later.
Most pool demolitions in Los Angeles take between 3 to 7 days, depending on the pool size, access levels for machinery, and the type of removal chosen (partial vs. full).
If you perform a full removal with an engineered backfill and proper soil compaction, you can typically build on the area. We provide the necessary documentation to show the site has been properly prepared.
