SWIMMING POOL LEAK DETECTION
Your swimming pool should hold water. If you keep adding water, see unexplained water loss, notice wet areas around the deck or yard, or struggle to maintain water chemistry, a hidden leak might be responsible.
Carolina Leak Reapers specializes in professional swimming pool leak detection throughout central and eastern North Carolina and the coastal Carolinas.
We work on:
• In-ground swimming pools
• Vinyl liner pools
• Fiberglass pools
• Gunite and concrete pools
• Spas and hot tubs
• Fountains and water features
• HOA and community pools
• Apartment and condominium pools
• Hotel and resort pools
• Commercial swimming pools
• Large residential pools
SIGNS YOUR SWIMMING POOL HAS A LEAK
• Unexplained water loss
• Frequent filling of the swimming pool
• Water level dropping faster than normal evaporation
• Wet or soft areas around the swimming pool
• Soggy ground near underground plumbing
• Higher water bills
• Air entering the circulation system
• Difficulty maintaining pool chemistry
• Cracks around fittings, steps, skimmers, or the pool shell
• Water consistently stopping at the same level
THE BUCKET TEST
A simple bucket test helps determine whether water loss comes from evaporation or a leak.
Place a bucket on a swimming pool step and fill the bucket until its water level matches the swimming pool water level. Mark both levels and compare them approximately 24 hours later.
If the swimming pool loses noticeably more water than the bucket, professional leak detection is recommended.
HOW CAROLINA LEAK REAPERS FINDS SWIMMING POOL LEAKS
We use professional testing methods designed to locate the problem before unnecessary excavation or demolition takes place.
Our leak detection procedures include:
• Complete visual swimming pool inspection
• Equipment pad inspection
• Pressure testing
• Suction line testing
• Return line testing
• Pool plumbing testing
• Dye testing
• Electronic and acoustic leak detection
• Underground plumbing leak detection
• Under-deck leak detection
• Underwater inspection
• Vinyl liner leak detection
• Fiberglass inspection
• Light niche inspection
• Skimmer inspection
• Main drain inspection
• Return fitting inspection
• Pool step inspection
Most swimming pool leak detection takes place with the swimming pool full and operational.
We locate the problem first. Then we explain what needs to happen next.
WHERE SWIMMING POOL LEAKS HIDE
Swimming pool leaks commonly occur around:
• Skimmers
• Skimmer throats
• Main drains
• Return fittings
• Return plumbing
• Suction plumbing
• Underground pipes
• Under-deck plumbing
• Pool lights
• Light niches
• Conduits
• Tile and waterline joints
• Vinyl liner punctures
• Vinyl liner seams
• Fiberglass cracks
• Fiberglass fittings
• Pool steps
• Step gaskets
• Spa plumbing
• Fountain plumbing
• Water features
Carolina Leak Reapers focuses on locating and pinpointing the source of water loss.
No guessing. No unnecessary demolition.
NO LEAK ESCAPES THE REAPER.
FIBERGLASS POOL REPAIR
Carolina Leak Reapers also provides professional fiberglass swimming pool repair.
Fiberglass swimming pools and fiberglass pool components develop damage from age, movement, improper installation, ground settlement, water intrusion, previous repairs, UV exposure, and years of normal use.
We inspect and repair:
• Fiberglass swimming pool cracks
• Structural fiberglass damage
• Osmotic blisters
• Fiberglass bubbles
• Gelcoat damage
• Faded gelcoat
• Chalky surfaces
• Chips
• Surface damage
• Leaking fittings
• Fiberglass penetrations
• Failed previous repairs
• Fiberglass skimmers
• Fiberglass light niches
• Fiberglass pool steps
Covering a structural fiberglass problem with paint does not address the underlying damage.
We evaluate the damaged area and determine whether the swimming pool needs localized fiberglass repair, structural reinforcement, gelcoat work, or a larger restoration.
FIBERGLASS POOL STEP REPAIR
Cracked, soft, flexing, and damaged swimming pool steps are common on older fiberglass and vinyl liner swimming pools.
Complete replacement often involves major concrete and deck work.
Many fiberglass swimming pool steps are repairable without removing the entire step assembly.
Carolina Leak Reapers repairs:
• Cracked fiberglass pool steps
• Soft pool steps
• Flexing pool steps
• Weak fiberglass steps
• Structural fiberglass damage
• Fiberglass delamination
• Blisters and bubbles
• Worn gelcoat
• Faded gelcoat
• Chips
• Damaged corners and edges
• Separations around steps
• Leaking pool steps
• Fiberglass skimmers
• Fiberglass light niches
• Failed previous fiberglass repairs
Our goal is to restore structural strength, correct the source of the problem, and finish the repair with professional fiberglass and gelcoat materials.

WHY CAROLINA LEAK REAPERS?
Swimming pool water loss does not automatically mean you need major excavation or a new swimming pool.
Leaks frequently originate from a fitting, skimmer, light niche, liner, plumbing line, main drain, fiberglass crack, or pool step.
Carolina Leak Reapers approaches the problem in the correct order:
TEST IT.
LOCATE IT.
PINPOINT IT.
REPAIR IT.
With decades of swimming pool leak detection, underwater repair, vinyl liner, plumbing, fiberglass, skimmer, and pool step experience behind our work, we know where swimming pool leaks hide and how to systematically locate them.
NO LEAK ESCAPES THE REAPER.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if my swimming pool has a leak?
Watch your water level. If your pool consistently loses more water than expected from evaporation, requires frequent filling, or creates wet areas around the pool, professional leak detection is recommended.
Is my water loss evaporation or a swimming pool leak?
Perform a bucket test. If the swimming pool loses more water than the bucket during the same period, a leak is a strong possibility.
Do you drain the swimming pool to find a leak?
Usually no. Most swimming pool leak detection takes place with the swimming pool at its normal operating level and the water clear enough for underwater inspection.
What leak detection methods do you use?
Depending on the swimming pool and symptoms, testing includes pressure testing, dye testing, electronic or acoustic listening equipment, underwater inspection, plumbing isolation, and visual inspection.
Do you locate underground swimming pool plumbing leaks?
Yes. We test plumbing systems and use professional leak detection methods to narrow down and locate underground and under-deck plumbing leaks.
Do you work on vinyl liner swimming pools?
Yes. We perform swimming pool leak detection on vinyl liner pools and inspect liners for punctures, tears, fitting leaks, step leaks, light leaks, and other sources of water loss.
Do you work on fiberglass swimming pools?
Yes. We provide leak detection and fiberglass repair services for fiberglass swimming pools and fiberglass swimming pool components.
Do you repair cracked fiberglass swimming pool steps?
Yes. Many cracked, soft, flexing, blistered, or leaking fiberglass swimming pool steps are repairable without complete replacement.
Do you work on commercial swimming pools?
Yes. We work with residential swimming pools as well as hotels, resorts, HOAs, apartments, condominiums, community pools, and other commercial properties.
Do you work on spas and fountains?
Yes. We provide leak detection for swimming pools, spas, fountains, and other water features.
