Demolition Overview:
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — 2003
2 MILES FROM OCEAN
GROUNDWATER AT 6 FEET DEEP
Below are photos from a recent gunite pool demolition.
The process shown is typical of what might be expected
for a gunite pool.

	First, a free written estimate is prepared which covers every aspect of the demolition. The estimate seen here includes permits, soil compaction testing, caping utilities at the house, a total of four drain holes in the bottom of the pool and spa, gravel install in both pool and spa (due to groundwater), demolition of all gunite and concrete decking, backfill with clean soil, and finally, four inches of organic topsoil at owners request.
	We arrive at the job site with our equipment.

	Our equipment can be operated through a standard sized gate opening without damage to existing structures.
	After drain holes have been created. Backfill of the pool begins with gravel at the bottom and clean soil above it.

	The Bobcat continues the process of filling and compacting soil.
	The pool is now nearly filled to grade level.
	Demolition continues on all gunite pool structures and concrete walkways.
	Eventually, all decking will be removed and utilities will be capped at the house.
	Just days later, the soil fill process has been completed, All gunite and concrete has been removed and disposed of, compaction testing has been completed, and four inches of organic topsoil has been added.
	The newly restored yard is ready for a lawn!
