we've got a 24 ft above ground pool that has somehow sprung a leak; we can see the water on the grass but the leak must be underneath the pool; has anyone had this happen before? If so, how hard and expensive will this be to fix? TIA.

Drain the pool and fill it with concrete.

YWIA :D

My parents had one growing up. I definitely remember my dad patching up the liner at least once. He did it himself and I doubt it was expensive.

Then again, if it's on the bottom I don't think you can drain all of the water out of them so maybe that's a little more complicated.

If it's on bottom the only thing you can do is tunnel up to the leak.

It's worth it though.
