Unfixable Pools

While it is not real common, there have been instances when a pool simply cannot be fixed. These pool have likely been worked-on over and over and over again with band-aids, incorrect methods, and inferior products. Now, for whatever reason, the pool cannot be fixed.

Typically, the main reason that a pool cannot be fixed is that its overall strength, structure and integrity have become so compromised and/or weakened and/or deteriorated, and/or otherwise damaged that it becomes cost-prohibitive AND it is no longer safe to put this pool back into service.

Unless there was some extreme occurrence or event that just happened, an unfixable pool is typically a very old pool...and more times than not, an old pool that was allowed to leak for many years before it was taken out of service.

When a pool cannot be worked-on again - when it cannot be fixed - then you will have to decide if you want to remove the pool so that you no longer have a pool in your backyard or replace it with a brand-new pool.
