When your pool is losing water, a skimmer is cracked, or a line under the deck has failed, you need someone who will find the real cause and fix it right. The Leak Geeks repairs vinyl liner, gunite/plaster and fiberglass pools across West Columbia, Columbia, Cayce, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin and the surrounding Midlands.
I'm Ray Sanders. I'm Leaktronics-certified, I have an engineering background and more than 40 years in construction, and I've lived in Columbia all my life. Our motto is simple: we find it and fix it.
Pool Repairs We Handle
- Leak repair. Structural cracks, fittings, light niches, main drains and liner tears.
- Skimmer repair and replacement. Cracked skimmer throats, failed faceplates, and skimmers separating from the deck or shell.
- Return, drain and light niche repair. Gaskets, fittings and conduit leaks.
- Vinyl liner repair. Patching, gasket replacement and re-seating. See vinyl pool liner repair.
- Underground pool plumbing repair. Broken suction and return lines repaired with as little digging as possible. See no-dig pool plumbing repair.
- Deck and coping repair around leak sites. Concrete matched and restored after skimmer or plumbing work.
We focus on leaks and plumbing. We don't repair pumps, filters or heaters.
Diagnosis First, So You Pay for One Repair
Lots of pool repair bills start with a guess. Someone replaces a pump, replasters a section or digs up a whole run of pipe, and the pool still loses water. We start by confirming exactly what is wrong, using Leaktronics electronic listening equipment, pressure testing and dye testing. Then we repair that specific problem and verify the fix. See pool leak detection.
Why Pools Here Fail Where They Do
West Columbia and the Midlands sit on clay-heavy soil that swells and shrinks with the seasons. That movement stresses skimmers, return lines and the joint between deck and shell. Add long hot summers and heavy use, and you get the same repairs again and again: cracked skimmers, separated fittings and broken lines under the deck. Knowing those patterns helps us diagnose quickly.
Residential, HOA and Commercial Pools
We work on backyard pools and on community, HOA and commercial pools and fountains. Property managers get clear written findings they can share with a board. See commercial services.
What to Expect When You Call
You'll talk to me directly, not a call center. I'll ask how fast the pool is losing water, whether the loss changes with the pump on or off, and what you've noticed around the deck and pipes. That tells us whether to start with leak detection or go straight to a repair. On site, we explain what we find in plain English before any work begins, and we clean up when we're done.
Repairs That Protect the Rest of Your Pool
A small leak left alone rarely stays small. Water escaping behind a liner or under a deck washes out the soil that supports your pool, and a cracked skimmer lets water into the deck base. Fixing the source early is almost always cheaper than repairing the damage it causes later.

"The Leak Geeks found our pool leak, and stood by their repair when it failed (not their fault, the liner was brittle and it was in awkward spot). They had a much faster turnaround time than other companies we've used in the past. We appreciate their responsiveness and integrity in dealing with an unexpected leak!"
