Hi Everyone- we had a inground pool put in last year and it really wasn’t a positive experience. It took a few months from start to finish and the contractor seemed to rush with the project whenever they were here.

I had to finish around to pool this year and redo some of the plumbing that didn’t even make it a year. None the less here I am with a functional vinyl liner pool.

Today it looks like the pool wall is collapsing in and the vinyl liner is being stretched. I just noticed it when the pool was being closed by a different company. Any ideas on why this would happen, and should I expect it to rip the liner or just look ugly? How indepth of a repair is something like this?

The guys who built the pool used a sand and Portland+ lime base that they packed in place dry and applied water with a hose (mist). Then immediately set the vinyl liner.

Live with it as long as you can and the liner is not leaking.

At some point you will need to pull the liner and see what is happening underneath.
