About Atlantic Pool Leak Detection

Atlantic Pool Leak Detection was built on a simple belief: when something is wrong with a pool, homeowners deserve accurate answers, not guesses.

Owned and operated by Randy Racioppi, Atlantic Pool Leak Detection brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience working with residential and commercial pools throughout New Jersey and Staten Island, NY.

Over the years, Randy saw how frustrating it could be for homeowners trying to understand their pool leak problems, especially when unexplained water loss or hidden issues were involved.

Too often, homeowners were advised to make repairs before the real cause of the problem was confirmed. Atlantic Pool Leak Detection was created to approach pool problems differently – through systematic testing, careful diagnostics, and clear communication so homeowners understand exactly what is happening with their pool.

Today, Randy operates the company alongside his son Ryan, making Atlantic Pool Leak Detection (APLD) a small family-run business built on honest work, technical expertise, and personal service.

Experience That Comes from Being in the Field

Understanding pool leak problems requires more than basic equipment knowledge. It comes from years of working with different types of pool structures, plumbing systems, liners, and equipment setups.

With more than 15 years in the pool industry, Randy has developed a deep understanding of how pools are built, how they age, and where problems are most likely to occur.

This experience allows APLD to approach each situation methodically, whether diagnosing water loss, pressure testing underground plumbing lines, or evaluating the condition of a pool during an inspection.

Every pool is different, and every pool leak detection requires patience, experience, and attention to detail.

Specialists in Pool Leak Detection

Pool leak detection is the primary focus of the work the company performs. Locating the true source of water loss requires specialized equipment and a systematic diagnostic process.

Using electronic leak detection equipment, hydrophones, pressure testing equipment, and proven investigative methods, Randy and Ryan work to identify the exact cause of leaks rather than relying on guesswork.

Leaks can occur in many places – vinyl liners, skimmers, fittings, light fixtures, or underground plumbing lines beneath patios and decks.

The goal is always the same: identify the source of the problem so repairs can be targeted and unnecessary work avoided.

Pool Inspections for Home Buyers and Homeowners

In addition to pool leak detection, APLD also performs professional pool inspections.

These inspections are commonly requested by homebuyers purchasing property with a pool. A professional pool inspection evaluates the pool structure, equipment, plumbing, safety features, and overall operation of the pool system.

Because pool leak detection requires a deep understanding of how pools function and where problems occur, that same expertise often allows potential issues to be identified during an inspection that might otherwise go unnoticed by other pool inspectors.

For many buyers, a professional pool inspection provides valuable insight and peace of mind before purchasing a home with a pool.

A Family-Run Business

Atlantic Pool Leak Detection is intentionally kept small, so every customer receives direct attention from the people performing the work.

When you contact APLD, you speak directly with Randy or Ryan – not a call center or large service company.

As a father-and-son team, they personally handle pool leak detection investigations, pool inspections, and communication with customers from start to finish.

This hands-on approach allows the company to focus on quality work, careful testing, and honest recommendations rather than rushing through jobs.

Pool Leak Detection Videos

This South Amboy, New Jersey homeowner had moved into their house about a month earlier when they discovered that their gunite pool was losing about 1/2" of water every day.That amount of daily pool water loss is far beyond normal evaporation, so they called Atlantic Pool Leak Detection for professional pool leak detection in South Amboy, NJ.During our testing, we found a crack inside the pool’s skimmer. As shown in the video, dye placed near the damaged area was pulled directly into the crack, confirming that water was leaking through it.The leaking skimmer crack was repaired to stop the water loss.This crack was particularly difficult to find because it was hidden behind the skimmer weir door. Dye testing allowed us to confirm that the concealed crack was actively leaking instead of relying on guesswork.Another leak found. Another leak repaired.

South Amboy NJ Pool Leak Detection | Hidden Skimmer Crack Found and Repaired

This Monmouth Junction, NJ vinyl liner pool had been losing approximately 1 inch of water per day for two years.We confirmed that the deep-end skimmer line was broken, but pinpointing it presented an unusual challenge. During pressure testing, water appeared through the electrical conduit in two separate locations, making it seem as though the underground leak could be in multiple areas.We continued testing until the water finally surfaced directly over the break in the grass.When we opened that exact location the following day, we found the broken skimmer pipe and a damaged electrical conduit beside it. During our pressure test, water had entered the conduit and traveled to the other locations.The skimmer line was repaired the very next day without unnecessarily opening the concrete surrounding the pool.Another leak found. Another leak pinpointed.

Two-Year Pool Leak Pinpointed in Monmouth Junction, NJ

This Staten Island homeowner knew his vinyl liner pool was leaking because it had lost water over the winter. During the summer, however, the water loss was extremely sporadic. The pool would sometimes go several days without needing any water.Small holes in vinyl liners can become temporarily clogged by dirt or debris. This may slow or stop the water loss for days or even weeks before the leak starts again.Before closing the pool for another winter, the homeowner wanted to know whether it was still leaking.Using specialized leak detection equipment, we located this tiny pinhole in the liner. It was small enough that it could have easily been missed visually. As shown in the video, dye testing confirmed the leak when the dye was pulled directly into the pinhole.Advanced equipment matters when the leak is almost impossible to see.Another leak found. Another leak repaired.

Tiny Pinhole Found in a Vinyl Pool Liner | Staten Island, NY

This Gladstone, NJ vinyl liner pool held water while the filtration system was off but lost approximately 10" overnight when the system was running.The customer’s pool company believed the Aqua Genie return line was leaking because the pool held water when the system was shut down and the return was covered.We pressure tested the Aqua Genie return line, and it held pressure.The actual problem was a failed multiport valve. While the pump was running, water was passing through the valve and being discharged through the backwash line behind the equipment shed.Shutting down the system stopped the water loss, but not because the Aqua Genie return was covered. It stopped because the pump was no longer pushing water through the faulty multiport valve.Correct testing matters. Correctly interpreting the results matters even more.Another leak found. Another leak pinpointed.

Pool Lost 10 Inches Overnight Through a Bad Multiport Valve

After being away for a week, this Middletown, NJ homeowner returned to find the water in their vinyl liner pool well below the skimmer.We properly tested the pool and found the source of the water loss: a hairline crack inside one of the stair jet fittings. The crack was difficult to see, but the amount of water the pool lost was impossible to miss.The long-term repair would require opening behind the stairs and replacing the cracked fitting. In the interim, we made a temporary repair to immediately stop the water loss.Because the pool would soon be winterized, we also explained which type of winter plug the pool company needed to use. Using the wrong plug would likely damage the temporary repair.Another leak found. Another leak pinpointed.

Hairline Crack Causes Major Pool Water Loss in Middletown, NJ

A Freehold, NJ homeowner’s pool lost approximately four inches of water during only one hour of operation - but the pool did not have an actual leak.Within approximately ten minutes of arriving, Atlantic Pool Leak Detection found that the backwash valve had been left open. Whenever the pool was running, it pumped pool water through the backwash line and discharged it into the rear of the property.This video shows the amount of water pouring from the backwash line. After the valve was placed in the proper closed position, the rapid water loss stopped. We also labeled the plumbing so the homeowner would understand the valve’s correct position and what had caused the problem.Rapid water loss does not always mean that a pool has a structural or underground plumbing leak. The symptoms must be evaluated carefully to determine exactly where the water is going.Read the complete Freehold case study:https://atlanticpoolleak.com/case-study/freehold-nj-open-backwash-valve-case-study/Pool Leak Detection in Monmouth County.Atlantic Pool Leak Detection732-333-3304https://atlanticpoolleak.com/Another source of water loss found.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Randy and team were able to identify and repair two leaks in our pool and subsequently came back after the initial repair when the pool was still leaking to repair a third leak and fully resolve the problem. On both occasions Randy followed up with me directly afterwards to ensure that job was complete. Overall the team was very professional and provided a good experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Atlantic Pool Leak Detection is truly a phenomenal service.  I had been struggling with a continual leak in my inground pool for nearly 2 years constantly adding water to get the pool water level up with increasing water bills. I had many services try to locate the leak during this period and they were unable to locate the leak. Some wanted to tear up my grounds and cement walkway with estimates of thousands upon thousands of dollars.  Randy and his son together with their repairman not only located the leak but they also successfully repaired the leak all done within 2 days at very reasonable cost.  As a Professional Realtor I highly recommend their service to both my real estate clients and the general public when struggling with a continual pool leak.

They were extremely dependable, professional, and did everything they promised. They found and repaired the leaks in my pool liner, including identifying underground plumbing leaks that had been difficult to locate. They kept me informed throughout the process and followed through on everything from start to finish. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that does exactly what they say they will do! They also recommended an excellent company to do the underground repairs.

From the consultation phone call I Immediately felt that I was in good hands and gave very expectations of the costs and process. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He found and addressed multiple leaks quickly. He constantly checked back in afterwards and gave me assurance that he was just as invested in the problem as I was. This should be the first and only phone call you make for a pool leak. First class service all the way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother has been dealing with a leak in her pool for the past two years. We had hired a diver last year, but he couldn’t find the problem, and we ended up just closing up the pool for the remainder of the season. This year when we opened the pool the leak was still there and we knew it had to be addressed.  I happened to see a review on Facebook for Atlantic Pool Leak Detection so I researched their business, and saw all great reviews. We called Randy and he and his son Ryan came out and found where the leak was. They repaired the problem and the pool issue has been resolved. The two were very thorough, knowledgeable and professional, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who has a pool leak. Thank you Randy and Ryan

They were responsive from the first call and I was able to set up the appointment quickly.  They arrived as expected and communicated throughout the entire process.  They identified the leak and completed the repairs in the same visit. I am a new pool owner so discovering a leak within the first month of purchasing our home was very scary.  The crew was very efficient and provided great advice on how to proceed with minimal cost.  Overall very great experience
