Pool Demolition and Removal in Northbrook, IL

Posted on by Tyler Mack

MackLand, LLC has specialized in removing pools for over 15 years.  Northbrook, IL is a community where MackLand, LLC has consistently removed pool after pool.  Once summer we removed three pools on one street!  Over time we have built a great working relationship with the Village.

Northbrook, Il is one of the Villages that has seen a large number of older, failing pools be removed.  Because of this, they have put together a Swimming Pool Demolition packet that outlines their requirements.  Here at MackLand, LLC, we follow their code and go above and beyond to make sure the pool removal is done properly.  Our smaller, low impact equipment allows us to easily access backyards.  This helps reduce any additional damage to the yard or the neighbor’s yard.

Homeowners have varying reasons as to why they are opting to have their pool removed.  Some want a larger backyard space, sometimes the pool is past repair, sometimes it is the first step in preparing the house for sale.   Whatever the reason, MackLand, LLC is experienced and ready to get the pool removal project complete.

If you live within Northbrook, IL, Chicagoland or Denver metro areas, give MackLand, LLC a call and we can discuss your Northbrook IL Pool Removal project.

• Houses being sold “as is” with a swimming pool in disrepair will decrease the value of the home more than
it will cost to remove it and may decrease surrounding property values

property and it will make the property easier to sell
