Why Project Costs Vary in San Juan

Understanding the local variables that influence your final estimate.

San Juan's soil composition is primarily a mix of sandy coas...

San Juan's soil composition is primarily a mix of sandy coastal soils and areas with underlying coral rock. This presents unique challenges for pool removal, as these soils are often poorly draining and susceptible to compaction issues. Proper soil testing is essential to determine the appropriate backfill material and compaction methods. Heavy machinery, like excavators and compactors, must be carefully selected to minimize disruption to surrounding structures and utilities. Due to the prevalence of saltwater intrusion in coastal areas, special attention must be paid to drainage to prevent future erosion and structural damage. We implement techniques like installing French drains and using well-graded aggregate to ensure proper water runoff and long-term soil stability.
