When a pool deck is too far gone to repair, the right move is full removal — done cleanly, without damaging the pool shell, equipment, or surrounding structure. We demolish and haul off existing concrete decks to prepare for a proper repour.
Not every deck can be repaired. When the concrete is extensively cracked, structurally compromised, or has settled so far that lifting or patching won't restore a sound surface, full demolition is the correct starting point — not a last resort.
The risk in a demolition job isn't the concrete removal — it's what's underneath and around it. Pool shell edges, return fittings, equipment plumbing, and the coping bond beam all need to be protected during the removal process. Careless demolition causes damage that's expensive to fix before any new concrete can go down.
We assess the full deck condition before recommending demolition. If the existing concrete can be repaired effectively, we say so. If it can't — or if repair would cost more than replacement over a realistic time horizon — we tell you that too. The recommendation is based on what we find, not what's easier to sell.
With over 20,000 repairs and concrete projects completed across DFW, we've seen what happens when demolition is done carelessly — and we work to a different standard.
Schedule a Service CallDemolition is the first step in a new deck project — and the quality of the removal determines the quality of what goes down next. We break, remove, and haul off existing concrete cleanly so the repour starts from a prepared surface, not a compromised one.
We break the existing concrete in manageable sections using appropriate equipment for the thickness and area. Controlled breaking protects the pool shell edge, coping, and any plumbing that runs under or adjacent to the deck area being removed.
All broken concrete is loaded and hauled off the property completely. The work area is cleaned to the subgrade — ready for any required base preparation, plumbing access, or soil assessment before the new pour. No debris left behind, no partial removal.
Once the concrete is removed, we assess the subgrade condition — looking for voids, soft spots, drainage issues, and any plumbing or structural issues that should be addressed before the new deck is poured. What's underneath the old deck determines how the new deck is prepared.
Demolition is always paired with a plan for what comes next — we don't remove concrete without knowing what goes back down.
Before any demolition begins, we assess the full deck — confirming that repair is not the right scope and that full removal is the correct approach. We also check for any underground plumbing that runs under the deck that needs to be accounted for during removal.
You receive a clear written estimate covering the demolition scope, haul-off, and the new pour that follows — all in writing before any work begins. Demolition and repour are quoted together so you have the full picture upfront.
We break and remove the existing concrete in controlled sections — protecting the pool shell edge, coping, equipment lines, and any fittings that remain in place. Nothing that should stay gets damaged in the process.
All concrete is removed from the property and the subgrade is assessed and prepared. Any drainage corrections, plumbing repairs, or base work identified during the assessment are completed before the new concrete goes down.
With the subgrade prepared and any underlying issues addressed, the new concrete is poured to the specified finish — broom, stamped, or spray deck. The demolition and repour are one continuous project under our direct oversight.
If something isn't right, we come back. That's not a policy — it's how we operate.
Every repair and structural component is backed in writing, with clear coverage and real accountability. Warranties are transferable to new homeowners at no additional cost — a documented asset at closing.
The key factors are the overall condition of the slab and whether the underlying movement has stopped. A deck that's extensively cracked across multiple sections, has sunk significantly in multiple areas, or is delaminating from the base is typically beyond effective repair. A deck with isolated cracks or a failed coping joint on an otherwise sound slab is a repair candidate. We assess this during the inspection and give you a clear recommendation in writing — not a sales pitch.
Yes — if it's done carelessly. The pool shell edge, coping, return fittings, and any plumbing under the deck are all vulnerable during concrete removal. We work in controlled sections with equipment appropriate to the thickness and proximity to the pool — protecting everything that needs to stay intact.
Yes. Demolition and repour are quoted and managed as one project. We don't demo and leave — the new deck is part of the same scope, under the same oversight, with written warranties on the completed work.
Demolition and haul-off typically take one to two days depending on deck size and access. Base preparation and any plumbing or drainage work adds additional time. The new pour requires a minimum of 7 days before foot traffic and 28 days for full cure. We give you a complete timeline in the written estimate.
Yes — always. If the pool is actively leaking, the water is going directly under the new deck as soon as it's poured. Saturated clay soil is what causes deck movement and cracking in the first place. We check for active leaks before any deck project begins, and we recommend resolving them first if found.
Tell us what your deck is doing, and we'll assess the full condition before recommending repair, demolition, or replacement — and give you a written estimate for the right scope.
