Our Services
An inground pool nobody uses is a piece of yard you cannot use either. Pool removal takes it out for good. We drain the water, break up the shell, and haul the concrete off. Then we fill the hole with clean dirt and pack it down in layers. You get level ground where the pool was.
Global Construction and Home Repair is a demolition company based in Valrico. A pool is the same work as our other demolition jobs around the Tampa Bay area. The excavator that takes a house down breaks up a pool shell. The dump trucks carry the rubble out. Call or text (813) 239-4231 for a free estimate on your pool.

There are two ways to get rid of an inground pool. A partial fill-in is the smaller job. We break out the top ring of the shell and take it below yard level. Then we punch drain holes through the deep end floor so rain runs through. Broken concrete can stay in the hole under the fill, and the county sets how much.
Full removal is the bigger job. The whole shell comes out: concrete, steel, plumbing and all. Only clean fill goes back in. Owners pick full removal when something is getting built on that spot, or when a lender asks.
Which one fits depends on what the yard has to do next. We also look at how a machine reaches the back yard. Gates, fences and a tight side yard change the plan. Sometimes a fence panel comes out and goes back. If the pool goes as part of a full house teardown, both happen in one job.
Gunite and shotcrete pools are concrete shells with steel inside them. The excavator breaks those apart. Fiberglass pools are one molded shell. We cut those into pieces and lift them out. Vinyl liner pools come apart in stages: the liner, the wall panels, then the bottom.
The pool is rarely the only thing coming out. The deck, the pavers, the screen cage and its footers usually go too. The pump, filter and heater get pulled and the plumbing is capped. It all leaves on our trucks, the same as our demolition and job site hauling.
Power to the pool equipment needs to be off before we start. A full pool gets drained first. Ask your county where that water can go on your lot. Close work like this is normal for us. One Tampa Bay homeowner had us take the flooded ground floor off a house. The garage and the ADU above it stayed standing, and the pool was left untouched.
Taking a pool out is demolition, so plan on a demolition permit. The county's demolition checklists ask for a site plan. They also want water and sewer lines capped where an inspector can see them. Unincorporated addresses go through Hillsborough County, and Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own offices. We confirm the rules for your address, and we call Sunshine 811 before we dig.
The fill matters more than most people expect. Clean dirt goes in a lift at a time and each lift gets compacted. That keeps the ground from dropping into a low spot the first rainy season. Say you want a garage or an addition over that spot. The county usually wants engineered fill and a compaction test from an engineer, so tell us early. The dirt work itself is the same grading and site prep we do after a teardown.
When we finish, the yard is level dirt and graded to drain. What goes on top of it is up to you.
From the first call or text to the clean lot at the end, here is how it goes.
Call or text (813) 239-4231 with the address and what needs to come down. Photos of the structure help before we come out.
We come to the property and look at the structure or the lot. Size, what it is built of, access for the machines and where the debris goes all set the price. The estimate is free.
Hillsborough County requires a demolition permit, and it wants utility sign-offs before it issues one. A licensed asbestos inspector surveys the buildings the state rule covers. We work around the permit and the survey, and we confirm what your address needs.
The excavator comes in and the structure comes down. Anything you are keeping stays protected while that happens. Debris goes into dump trucks and trailers as we work.
The last loads go out, and the slab and foundation go with them when you want them gone. We grade the ground so the lot sits level. Then you have a lot you can build on, sell or use.

We haul construction and demolition debris off job sites, remodels and teardowns around Tampa Bay. Concrete, lumber, drywall and metal get loaded with the excavator and hauled out in dump trucks.
Learn MoreThe demolition and construction work behind this company goes back more than three decades in the Tampa Bay area. Houses, garages, commercial buildings, pools and mobile homes have all come down. Storm and flood teardowns are part of that record.
One company takes the structure down, hauls the debris off and grades what is left. The dirt work after a teardown runs on the same job and the same schedule. That is one number to call, from the estimate to the finished lot.
We work about 50 miles out from Valrico. That covers Hillsborough County towns like Tampa, Brandon, Riverview and Plant City, plus Lakeland and Winter Haven in Polk County. Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills and Land O' Lakes in Pasco County are in range too.
We come out, look at the structure or the lot and tell you how the job would run. The price comes from what is actually standing there. The visit is free and the work starts when you say go.
