Many homeowners install swimming pools to have a great time outdoors – have pool parties in summer and relax or work out with a vigorous swimming session. This is generally when the mean age of the family is low and there is a lot of life left to enjoy to the hilt. But over time, when the enthusiasm dies down, the children grow up and go their separate ways and the pool is hardly used even in summers, it becomes a white elephant rather than a source of fun and joy. Here are some benefits of removing a pool from your premises.
The first is the high maintenance costs of a pool. On average, a house with a swimming pool consumes about 30 to 50 percent more electricity than homes without pools. Old pumps, heating costs can easily add up to $1,800 per year. Add monthly maintenance costs and repairs and you have another $1,200 per year. Then there is the cost of remodeling every twelve to fifteen years and this could be anywhere above $10,000. Amortize this amount over 15 years and you have another $50 per month.
In spite of this, people keep on postponing the decision to act on pool removal, not because they are put off by above ground pool removal costbut because they are unable to take this very emotional decision. When they ultimately have the pool removed, they realize that the decision was in fact taken years ago but they have not been able to act on it. Another benefit of removing a pool is that it increases the curb value of the property and brings in more money if ever you want to sell your property. You get more buyers from amongst those who do not want swimming pools considering its high maintenance costs. Even if you have spent a considerable sum in removing a pool it will pay you back in the long run.
Further, rental properties with pools are often considered to be a liability as the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 15 is drowning in a swimming pool. As a property owner, you will be free of any litigation and liability if you remove the swimming pool before renting it out.
There are a number of ways to remove a pool while gaining maximum mileage out of it. The first is obviously to remove it completely, break up the structure, fill it up with concrete or any other durable material and use the space like a backyard. Another is to build a deck flush with the water and use the additional space as a sit-out or barbeques. Whatever way you choose to look at it, removing a pool is a win-win situation for you.
