📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free EstimateAn old inground pool nobody swims in anymore is a money pit and a worry — liner repairs, pumps, chemicals, insurance, and a fenced hazard in the backyard. When you're done with it, you want it gone, the hole filled right, and your yard back so you can use the space.
Brohez Trucking LLC handles inground pool removal across central Illinois — concrete and gunite pools, vinyl-liner pools, and the old neglected ones that have turned into a green swamp. Partial fill-in or full removal, backyard put back to lawn.
The Komatsu PC150LC breaks out the pool shell. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer fit through tight gates and side yards a big machine can't reach. Dump trucks haul the concrete, liner, and debris off, and bring in clean fill. Pool to flat lawn is one job, one contractor.
The part most people get wrong is the fill. We don't just dump loose dirt in and leave. We fill in lifts, compact each layer, and grade the spot to match and drain — so it stays solid and doesn't settle into a low spot a couple seasons later.
Inside town, a pool demolition usually needs a permit, and the local office often cares whether it's a partial fill-in or a full removal. We'll tell you what's required, help with the paperwork, and call utility locates before we dig. Older pump houses or decking can occasionally involve material worth checking on a pre-1980 property — when something warrants it, we coordinate the required inspection and IEPA 10-day notification and don't cut corners. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Every pool and every backyard is different. The basics don't change.
We come look at the pool and the backyard, check access, talk through partial versus full removal, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
In-town pools usually need a permit. We help sort it out, call utility locates, and arrange to disconnect any power or water still running to the pump and lights.
We drain the pool the right way and get the machine in — through the gate, the side yard, or a fence section if that's what access takes.
The Komatsu breaks up the concrete shell or pulls the vinyl walls and panels. Decking and coping come out too if they're part of the job.
We haul the concrete, liner, and debris off to proper disposal, then fill the hole with clean material in lifts and compact each layer so it stays solid.
We grade the spot to match the surrounding lawn and drain properly, then walk you through the finished work. Ready to seed, sod, or build on.
If it's an old inground pool you're done with, we can probably help.
Hard-shell concrete and gunite pools broken out with the Komatsu, hauled off, and the hole filled and compacted right.
Vinyl pools with steel or polymer walls pulled out, liner and panels removed, debris hauled, and the spot filled in.
The faster, lower-cost option — top broken down, bottom punched for drainage, and the rest filled and graded over.
The whole shell and all the material hauled out, leaving a clean, fully buildable yard with nothing left underground.
Hole filled in lifts and compacted layer by layer so it stays solid and doesn't settle into a low spot down the road.
Old concrete decking, pavers, and coping around the pool broken out and hauled off along with the shell.
The swampy, abandoned pools nobody wants to deal with drained the right way and removed clean.
The finished spot graded smooth to match the surrounding lawn and drain right — ready to seed, sod, or build.
Real pool removal, fill-in, and demolition jobs from around central Illinois.
It depends on the size of the pool, whether it's concrete or vinyl, partial versus full removal, access to the backyard, and how far we haul the debris. We give free on-site estimates with a straight number. Call (217) 809-0779.
Partial removal breaks up the top of the pool, punches drainage holes in the bottom, and fills the rest in — faster and lower cost, but it should be disclosed when you sell. Full removal hauls out the entire pool shell and all the material, leaving a clean, fully buildable yard. We'll walk you through which makes sense for your situation.
Both. Concrete and gunite pools get broken out with the Komatsu, and vinyl-liner pools with their walls and steel or polymer panels are pulled out the same way. Either type, we haul off the debris and fill the hole right.
We fill the hole with proper material in lifts and compact each layer so it doesn't settle into a low spot later. Then we grade the yard to match the surrounding lawn so you'd never know a pool was there. Done right, the fill stays solid.
Not when it's done right. Settling happens when a pool is dumped full of loose dirt and not compacted. We fill in lifts, compact as we go, and grade it to drain — so the spot stays solid and level for the long haul.
Inside city limits, a pool demolition usually needs a permit, and partial versus full removal can matter to the local office. We'll tell you what's required, help you handle the paperwork, and call utility locates before we dig.
Usually, yes. The JCB mini and Takeuchi skid steer fit through tight gate openings and side yards that a big machine can't. At the estimate we check access and tell you straight whether a fence section needs to come down to get in.
