Possible to grout fill under pool sidewalks myself?

So when my pool was installed (before I lived here) it looks like the company that did it did not compact the soil or put down a base. There is a large void under 3/4 of the decking. Is it feasible to pump grout under it myself? I know i need to order the concrete and rent the pump. I don't plan on jacking the slabs that have already fallen, only preventing more from breaking. So here are my questions. Should I attempt this or are there pitfalls I am blind to. Should I just hire it out? I really believe I have the funds to pay for this but I know it needs done or it will cost more in the future. Any GUESSTAMATES at what it would cost me?

So here are my questions.

  1. Should I attempt this or are there pitfalls I am blind to.

  2. Should I just hire it out? I really believe I have the funds to pay for this but I know it needs done or it will cost more in the future.

  3. Any GUESSTAMATES at what it would cost me?
