What happens here

Begin the demolition by removing any loose debris, standing water, and especially the pool liner from the swimming pool. An excavator with a standard bucket can be used to scoop out accumulated muck and to lift out large sections of the liner, often bagged, from the pool basin.

Goal: Clear the pool of liner, water, and initial debris.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator Bucket — Scooping debris and manipulating the liner
  • Excavator Komatsu — Scooping out debris and lifting the pool liner
  • Large Trash Bags — Containing sections of the pool liner
