Pool Leak Detection in Columbia, SC

Full-Service Pool Leak Detection, Cleaning & Repairs Under One Roof

A pool losing water faster than expected isn’t just an annoyance. Left unaddressed, it can mean escalating water bills, wasted chemicals, and real damage to the structure around your pool. At ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Columbia, we perform professional pool leak detection for pools, hot tubs, and spas throughout Columbia, Irmo, Cayce, Lexington, West Columbia, and the surrounding Lexington County area. As a full-service pool company here in South Carolina, we handle detection, cleaning, and repairs under one roof, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors to get your pool back in shape.

Pinpointing a pool leak without professional techniques is virtually impossible. Water can escape from dozens of locations, including underground plumbing, structural surfaces, and equipment fittings, and the source is rarely obvious to the naked eye. We also offer free pool inspections, which is a great starting point if you’re not yet sure a leak is the problem.

Signs Your Pool May Be Leaking

Some water loss is normal, especially on hot South Carolina days when evaporation runs high. But certain signs point clearly to a leak. Dirt and debris in the water can make it difficult to spot even large leaks, which is why we vacuum and clean your pool before we conduct an accurate leak detection if the conditions call for it.

A simple home check is the bucket test: fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a pool step, and compare how much water the pool and the bucket each lose over 24 hours. If the pool drops noticeably faster than the bucket, a leak is likely.

Watch for these seven signs your pool may need professional attention:

• Losing more than a 1/4-inch of water a day
• Constantly needing to add more water
• Grass around the area is soggy
• Cracks in or around your pool deck
• Pool deck is sinking or lifting
• Problems in balancing chemicals
• Large air bubbles in the pump

Why a Pool Leak Shouldn’t Wait

Water escaping beneath a pool deck or into surrounding soil can erode the supporting material underneath, contributing to cracking, sinking, or lifting over time. The pool keeps losing treated water and the chemicals you’ve paid for, which throws off your chemical balance and accelerates wear on interior surfaces. Columbia’s longer swim season means your pool gets more use than in cooler climates, so a slow leak that goes unnoticed in October can become a significant problem by July.

Underground plumbing leaks and structural leaks tend to worsen if left unaddressed. The faster you identify the source, the less complicated the repair may be.

How We Find Your Leak

Our team thoroughly inspects pools, hot tubs, and spas, working through every likely source of water loss rather than guessing. We examine the pool shell and structural surfaces, underground plumbing lines, skimmers, return lines, light niches, fittings, connections, the main drain, and the equipment pad, pump, and associated plumbing.

Dye testing helps us identify leaks around fixtures and structural surfaces, while pressure testing lets us isolate and evaluate underground plumbing lines. Once we’ve identified the source, the logical next step is leak repair, and our team handles that too. You won’t need to start over with a separate contractor. Our goal throughout is to locate the problem efficiently so your family can get back to enjoying the pool as quickly as possible.
