Destroyed inground pool - insurance ?

[spears2008]

It probably depends on where you live, but it can't be that bad...I'd guess under 2K. My friend buys and sells houses for a living, and I know she has had to fill in pools. It didn't sound like a big deal or expense. Fixing the pool would have been way more $$.

We are currently in the process of filling in a pool. I believe location is important in determining cost as with all renovation projects - we are in Houston, TX. The pool is very deep. I had 3 bids over $10,000 each to demo and fill the pool. We finally went with a contractor who is doing other work for us as well at only $5,500.

It is important to note that you can't just "fill in" a pool .... you have to break it up, demo out the pipes, etc. If you don't break apart the walls and bottom, it will continue to hold water and you will have a cesspool in your backyard.
