We experienced a wash-out on the back side of ours last year ( forgot to turn the gutter spout away and ran off of bank, under the pool sides and washed out on back bank). We had never put one up before and used too much sand. However, we placed some alum. strips (approx. 4"W x 6-8"L x 1" thick) on each side where it was still level with the ground. In between we used 1/2" thick scrap fiberglass boards (no wider than 4"). You don't want them too wide to reach into your liner. We drove these (sometimes wedging an extra between the boards) in 2, 3,or 4 stacked until our bottom ring and one base plate was supported. Used a slightly bigger one under the plate. In between these, where we could, we filled back in with dirt and packed in using our hands, then tamping down with solid board. Then, we stabilized with more dirt upon the bank. Our liner stretched and filled the void over time. Use something other than rock (which can shift) or wood (which will rot), for your filler. We never had any more problems the rest of the season.

∙ 16y agoSink holes around pools are commonly caused by leaks in the pool or underground pipes. This affects the structural integrity of the pool and what I have seen as a permanent fix is to pump concrete into the sink hole after the leak is repaired. it is fluid enough to fill the hole completely and will harden for support, you will never compact dirt enough to give the pool wall support.

Pool Repair?
Many pools have vinyl liners. As the pool ages, the vinyl liner will oftentimes become cracked. These cracks cause water to drain out of the pool, which can result in greater damage. One should never fail to repair this type of leak. The best way to repair this is to patch the crack or hole with a patch kit. These patch kits can be bought both in stores and online. There are different types of patch kits, some of which are meant to be used above water and some below the water. This type of pool repair is relatively simple.
