Welcome to The Leak Geeks: Columbia’s Premier Pool Leak Detection Experts

The warm South Carolina sun is perfect for poolside relaxation, but when your pool starts losing water faster than it should, that paradise can quickly turn into a costly nightmare. Enter The Leak Geeks – Columbia’s specialized pool leak detection company that’s revolutionizing how homeowners protect their aquatic investments.

Who We Are

Founded by Ray Sanders, a seasoned professional with over 40 years of safety and engineering expertise, The Leak Geeks represents a new era in pool maintenance services. Unlike traditional pool companies that take a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ve laser-focused our expertise on one critical area: non-invasive pool leak detection.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: locate pool leaks with precision technology while keeping your deck intact and your wallet protected. We serve homeowners throughout the Columbia metropolitan area, including Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Cayce, West Columbia, and the beautiful Lake Murray shores.

The Problem We Solve

Pool leaks are more common than most homeowners realize. If your pool is losing more than ¼ inch of water per day, you have a leak. Left unaddressed, these leaks can waste 500 to 2,000 gallons of water daily, leading to:

• Skyrocketing water bills
• Potential structural damage to your pool and surrounding areas
• Costly replastering and deck repair
• Environmental waste of precious water resources

The traditional approach to finding leaks often involves exploratory digging, draining pools, and damaging expensive hardscaping – methods that can cost thousands in additional repairs even before the actual leak is fixed.

Our Revolutionary Approach

What sets The Leak Geeks apart is our commitment to non-invasive detection technology. Using advanced acoustic sensors and pressure testing equipment, we can pinpoint leak locations without cutting concrete, draining water, or damaging your beautiful outdoor space.

Our LeakTronics-certified technicians employ cutting-edge diagnostic methods that the industry has embraced across commercial and residential applications. This technology-forward approach aligns with broader trends in the leak detection industry, where IoT sensors and smart monitoring systems are transforming how professionals identify and address water loss.

Our Comprehensive Services Include:

Pool Leak Detection: Expert identification using advanced acoustic and pressure-testing technology
Pool Leak Repairs: Partnership with certified repair specialists for plumbing patches, vinyl liner fixes, and shell sealing
Spa Leak Detection: Same precision process for hot tubs, including shells, pumps, and plumbing systems
Pool Inspections: Pre-sale or pre-listing inspections with same-day leak-free certification and digital reporting

Our No-Risk Guarantee

Perhaps our most compelling feature is our “no leak, no pay” guarantee. If we can’t verify the leak location, you owe nothing. This commitment reflects our confidence in our technology and our dedication to customer satisfaction.

This guarantee addresses a real industry problem – homeowners often pay hundreds of dollars for inconclusive leak detection services. We’ve eliminated that risk entirely, ensuring you only pay when we deliver results.

The pool leak detection industry is experiencing significant growth, with the U.S. water leak detection and repair services market valued at $347.4 million in 2022 and expected to grow at a 5.2% CAGR through 2030. This growth is driven by increasing water conservation awareness, aging infrastructure, and the adoption of advanced detection technologies.
