Cement!
To fix bowing wood walls in an inground pool without tearing it out, consider reinforcing the existing structure with braces or supports, such as pressure-treated lumber or steel posts, to provide additional stability. You can also excavate around the affected area, ensuring the soil is compacted and properly graded to relieve pressure on the walls. If the damage is extensive, consult a professional for potential corrective measures, as they may have experience with similar repairs. However, keep in mind that long-term structural integrity may still be at risk with temporary fixes.
It is not likely, but it depends on what material the walls are made out of. Mud, probably not, but tile yes.
The pool return line is the one that returns the water form the filter to the pool. Usually you'll see holes in the side walls of the pool with little eyeball sockets where the water flows back to the pool.
Unfortunately, you will have to drain your pool. That way you are able to spot exactly where your leak is coming from and fix it more easily. Next you will need to get rid of rough edges by using a grinder until the area is smooth. Last, fill in the leak with a strong adhesive caulking and allow several days for it to dry before re-filling the pool.
Not if it is a vinyl liner pool. You have to fix the leaks. The walls will collapse and you will have to get a new pool. Fill it back up and call American leak detection or another company. I recommend them because they will come out and fix it until it is repaired. If you don't, you will probably have to pay for a brand new pool essentially. I didn't get my pool closed until the second week of october because of this. Finally they fixed it and I closed it.
You really need to give the perimeter in order to get an idea of how much it would cost. Inground gunite pools range from 20K to the sky is the limit. The cost of building the pool is secondary the reputation of the builder and that is worth more than a discount builder. Try Bluehaven.com and get a warranty plan with your pool. Anyone with a shovel can build a pool but are they going to be around to fix any problems that come up?
Consult an underground leak detection service that specializes in pool leaks. They may be able to fix with out tearing up the deck. Or, you can grab a kit. There are kits nowadays that you can use to find and stop leaks. Also, you can use a dye test! What you do is get a dye syringe and the dye will actually lead you to the leak by "leaking" into the hole. Then you can fix it with vinyl putty! And, VIOLA, it's fixed!!!!
I would just dig out the pool and build a new one, because you can't really fix the rust apart from scraping and sanding it off and the structure is weakened.
You learn to live with it.
Call a plumber
