Columbia has pools of every age, from older gunite pools behind homes in Shandon, Rosewood and Heathwood to newer pools in Northeast Columbia and off Clemson Road. When an underground pool pipe leaks, the old-school fix is a concrete saw. Pipepoxy by The Leak Geeks repairs the pipe from the inside instead.
Older Pools, Original Plumbing
Many pools in Columbia's established neighborhoods still have original plumbing and glued joints that have been through decades of heat, chemicals and soil movement. Brick coping, aged concrete and mature landscaping make those decks especially hard to cut and patch so it looks right. In-pipe epoxy lining lets us seal the leak without touching any of that.
How It Works
We isolate and pressure test each line to confirm which pipe is leaking. Then we dry the line, sand the interior, apply our epoxy lining, and pressure test again to confirm the seal. Most repairs are done the same day, with no draining the pool.
Not Sure It's the Pipes?
If you don't know yet whether the water is leaving through a pipe, the shell or a fitting, start with leak detection. Our parent company, The Leak Geeks, pinpoints pool leaks with Leaktronics equipment, pressure testing and dye testing. If the problem turns out to be a pipe, Pipepoxy can repair it, with one team and one phone number.
Commercial and HOA Pools
Apartment complexes and HOA pools around Columbia have long pipe runs under big decks, which are expensive to break out. If you manage a community pool, call to discuss whether Pipepoxy is a fit for your lines.
