We permanently fill and close inground pools across Charlotte and Lake Norman β concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner. Fully licensed, insured, and done right the first time.
An old, unused inground pool costs you money every single year β in maintenance, chemicals, equipment repairs, and liability insurance. The average Charlotte homeowner spends $3,000β$8,000 per year keeping an unused pool running. Filling it in permanently is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make for your property.
Pool maintenance, chemicals, equipment servicing, and liability insurance adds up fast. One fill-in pays for itself in 2β3 years and the savings continue indefinitely.
Reclaim usable outdoor space. Install a patio, garden, outdoor kitchen, or just open green lawn where the pool used to sit. Most homeowners are amazed at how much space they gain.
Many buyers see inground pools as a liability, not an asset β especially families with young children. Filling it in removes an objection and widens your buyer pool significantly.
Pools are a major liability, especially with children, pets, or neighbor access. A permanently filled pool eliminates the risk of drowning accidents and the lawsuits that follow.

Junk Raider has filled hundreds of pools throughout Charlotte metro β from small backyard spas to large custom-shape gunite pools. Here’s how we handle each type.
The most common type in Charlotte. We break down the shell using demolition equipment, remove rebar and plumbing, then fill with compactable material in layers. Proper compaction is critical to prevent future settling.
Fiberglass shells are removed or punctured and broken down in-place before filling. We remove all associated equipment β pump, filter, heater, plumbing lines β and haul everything away cleanly.
Vinyl liner pools have steel or polymer walls that must be removed or partially demolished before filling. We handle all of this, plus full liner removal and equipment haul-off.
Many pool removals include the surrounding deck. We demolish concrete, pavers, or wood decking, haul it all away, and leave you with a clean grade ready for whatever comes next.
Got a pool house, shed, or outbuilding you want gone at the same time? We bundle demolition and pool fill-in into one efficient project β one mobilization, one clean-up, one invoice.
Not technically a fill-in, but we handle these too. We disassemble and haul away above-ground pools of all sizes β steel frame, resin, semi-inground β and leave the yard clean.
Every pool fill-in follows the same proven 5-step process. No shortcuts. No dumping unsuitable material. Done right so the ground doesn’t settle and you never have to think about it again.
We assess your pool size, depth, access, material type, and local permit requirements. You get a firm price before we touch anything.
We advise on permit requirements for Mecklenburg, Iredell, Cabarrus, and surrounding counties. Many jobs require one β we’ll guide you through it.
We break down the pool shell, remove all equipment, plumbing lines, electrical conduit, and any associated structures included in your project scope.
We fill with clean, compactable material in lifts β not random debris. Each layer is compacted to engineering standards so the ground settles evenly and firmly.
We grade the surface, haul away 100% of the debris, and leave the area ready for landscaping, a patio, a new deck β whatever you have planned.
We give you an exact number after our free on-site assessment β not a range, not a guess. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Some companies fill pools with trash, construction debris, or improper material. We use only clean compactable fill, compacted in layers β the only method that prevents settling.
