Yep and probably charged tens of thousands of dollars for a half-@ssed job! Thinking he’s doing a great job “saving the landfills!” Bricks and concrete can be recycled many times over. He’s so lazy that he buries everything. So frustrating for anyone who comes in behind him. Garbage job. I just hope he got paid garbage as well!
Hi @danaparish1644 we appreciate your perspective. If you check out our other videos you may notice that we also do full removals. These involve all foreign materials to be removed and disposed of at either a recycling facility or landfill. Concrete, bricks and steel are taken to their own respective facilities to be processed. While I agree these materials can be recycled and believe that to be best practice, in the end it is up to the client to make that choice based on their own financial position and plans.
as fun as it is to watch its kind of sad in its own way. at one point this was some dads pride and joy for his family to have fun with for probably many years and this is how it ends its life.
i think that a good backyard with enough space for kids to run and to setup a mini park is a way better option to have fun, most pool owners don't even use it that often, even those who are in tropical countries
It’ll probably cost even more and take longer for him to take out all that old brick and concrete and the homeowners didn’t have to spend extra for more dirt to fill in that area.
Gona suck for any future home owner of that place if they decide to put a deck or any other structure there. Try to put a pile in, oh why cant I, what the heck is under here.
•Reasons why somebody decided to remove a pool from their backyard. 1- repair and maintaining is expensive with no pool no extra expenses. 2- new owner who don’t like the pool in the property. 3- tragedy someone drowned in the pool. 4- tired of the pool decided to build a landscape. 5- make a room for any purpose.
Hi Stan. Thanks for uploading! We’re in Australia too looking at pool removal, mind if I PM you some queries as there isn’t a lot of info out there on the subject
Moet zeggen....ondanks dat er een hoop "onder de vloerbedekking" is geveegd, is het wel erg groot geworden, je moet er alleen geen gat willen graven, voor bijvoorbeeld een uhhh....ZWEMBAD ...🤣
jammer, had een mooie KOY vijver kunnen worden....🤔 en met een paar kuub aarde had het een aparte plantenbak kunnen zijn, dus niet weg halen, maar volgooien die put!!😀
They did bury the rubble they just took the metal which looks like either aluminum or stainless steel which fetches a pretty price at the scrap yard. You are actually gaining money not losing it by taking the it away.
Such a shame In my opinon, but to each their own. I have seen quite a few people fill in beautiful pools in my area. The pool in this video was quite interesting because of the vinyl liner over concrete. I have heard of people installing a liner in a badly damaged concrete pool. In my area most vinyl liner pools are essentially a hole with either steel panel or polymer panel walls and a dirt floor-sometimes the floor is concrete in the deep end. I know a girl who bought a house because it had a pool that she just loved so much, if it wasn't for the pool she wouldn't have bought the house. Her pool was a vinyl liner pool and initially it was a nice looking pool. Our area suffered a direct hurricane hit and over the course of a few days we received several feet of rain. Her pool didn't look so good when the rain water receded. The liner had floated up and the walls appeared deformed. She called a pool contractor to come out and assess the damage. Everyone was shocked when the contractor pulled the liner away from the pool. There were no steel walls, polymer walls, or concrete behind the liner. The previous owner/pool builder had fabricated the walls with OSB plywood and 2x4's. What a disaster that was! But the pool in this video looked like it was in surprisingly sound condition. The rust was unsightly however the concrete looked strong and it wasn't a bit deformed. I believe there are plenty of people wtih a knowledge of concrete and steel corrosion who could have come up with reasonable solution to get rid of the vinyl, treat the corrosion, and plaster over the surface resulting in a beautiful pool with many years of enjoyment to be had. I am sure the homeowner is aware of this and clearly that is not what they wanted which is all that matters
Hi @ilm28403 where are you from? While we have removed many pools of varying construction, we haven't come across any plywood ones yet. This client was remodelling their house, and having a dated pool in disrepair was not what they wanted in their final product. You also don't see all the damage in the video. A lot of the steel frame was corroded and a retaining wall was needed. It would probably have cost a substantial amount to repair it for something they would inevitably not want in the finished product.
