Q: How do you drain a pool without it popping?

• <div><p>Avoid the dreaded pool pop by only draining your pool during dry, temperate times of the year. If there is too much moisture or the threat of ice in the ground surrounding your pool, the pressure could disrupt the stability of your pool's floors and walls. Additionally, always open the hydrostatic drains in an inground pool toward the end of the design process.</p></div>

And you can increase your gunite pool&rsquo;s longevity by repairing any damage and addressing any issues as soon as you notice them.</p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for an inground pool?

• <div><p>Yes, you will need <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permits</a> for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between <b>$400 and $1,800</b>, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between <b>$50 and $500</b>. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.</p></div>
