When your pool is running the way it should, you stop thinking about it and that’s the point. No green water on a Saturday morning. No pump making that sound you’ve been ignoring. No mystery leak slowly spiking your water bill. You just use it.
In Leesburg, that matters more than people realize. The summers here are long, hot, and humid running from late April through October and a pool that isn’t being maintained consistently will show it fast. Heavy afternoon thunderstorms dilute your chemistry. Pollen seasons hit hard across Southwest Georgia. Algae doesn’t wait. A pool that looks fine on Monday can be a problem by Thursday without someone keeping up with it.
Lee County is also growing fast one of the fastest-growing counties in Georgia which means more new homes, more new pools, and more homeowners in Leesburg who don’t yet have a trusted service relationship. If you’re in Brittany Lakes, Hunters Ridge, Quail Valley, or any of the newer subdivisions off US 19, you need a company that shows up consistently, documents what they did, and actually knows what they’re looking at. That’s what professional pool service is supposed to be.
We founded Deep Waters Pools in 2014 but the experience behind it goes back more than 30 years. Our team spent decades in concrete, plumbing, and pool construction across South Georgia before we ever took our first job. That history isn’t a marketing line. It means when something looks off on your pool, we’ve likely seen it before and already know what caused it.
We’re licensed and insured, and we cover the full range of what pool ownership requires construction, weekly maintenance, equipment repair, leak detection, liner replacement, heater installation, and renovation. One company, one relationship, no gaps.
Leesburg and Lee County are part of the Southwest Georgia region we’ve worked in for years. We know the soil conditions here, the seasonal demands this climate puts on pools and equipment, and what it takes to keep a pool in good shape from one end of the year to the other. That regional familiarity shows up in the quality of every service call we make.
It starts with understanding what you’re dealing with. Whether you’re calling about weekly maintenance, a piece of equipment that’s acting up, a leak you can’t locate, or a liner that’s finally given out the first step is getting a clear picture of your pool’s current condition. We don’t assume. We look.
From there, we tell you what we found and what it’s going to take to fix it or maintain it. If it’s a repair, you know the scope before we start. If it’s a new build or renovation in one of Leesburg’s HOA-governed subdivisions Brittany Lakes, The Plantations, Twelve Oaks we handle the permit coordination through Lee County and the HOA documentation process. That includes boundary surveys, site plans, and county office coordination. You don’t have to become an expert in local building codes to get a pool built or renovated correctly here.
For ongoing maintenance, we show up on schedule, document water chemistry readings, inspect equipment, and leave you with a clear record of what was done and what to watch for. No guessing, no assuming everything’s fine. Just consistent, professional service that keeps your pool ready to use all season long.

Weekly pool maintenance means more than skimming the surface. It means water chemistry analysis with documented readings, equipment inspection, debris removal, and filter service every visit. In Leesburg’s climate, where a heavy rain event can throw your chemistry off overnight and pollen seasons add consistent debris load, that level of attention isn’t optional if you want a pool that’s actually swimmable.
Pool equipment repair is handled with construction-level knowledge because we build pools from the ground up, we diagnose problems the way someone who understands the full system would. Pool leak detection uses pressure testing and professional-grade diagnostic equipment, not guesswork. An undetected leak in a Leesburg home doesn’t just waste water it quietly drives up your water bill and can undermine the surrounding soil over time. Pool liner replacement is measured and installed with the precision of new construction, because a liner put in wrong will wrinkle, fail early, and void the manufacturer’s warranty. And pool heater installation is done to manufacturer specifications correct gas line sizing, proper electrical connections because a heater installed right lasts 8 to 12 years, and one installed carelessly lasts 3 to 5.
If you’re in a newer subdivision off US Highway 19 or US 82, or in an established neighborhood like Cypress Point or Springlake, the service is the same: thorough, documented, and built around what your specific pool actually needs.
In most parts of the country, the answer depends on how much the pool gets used. In Leesburg, the answer is more straightforward weekly, through the full swimming season. The combination of heat, high humidity, heavy summer thunderstorms, and Southwest Georgia’s intense pollen seasons creates conditions where pool chemistry can shift quickly. A pool that tests clean on Monday can have an algae problem by the end of the week if the chemistry isn’t being actively managed.
That’s just what this climate does. From late April through October, your pool is under consistent environmental pressure. Weekly professional maintenance keeps the chemistry balanced, the equipment inspected, and the water clear. If you’re in a neighborhood like Brittany Lakes or Hunters Ridge and your pool is sitting unmanaged through a stretch of summer rain events, you’ll know it fast.
The standard test is simple: fill a bucket with pool water, set it on a pool step, and mark both the bucket level and the pool level. After 24 hours, compare the two. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you’re likely dealing with a leak not evaporation. Leesburg summers are hot and evaporation does happen, but it happens to the bucket too, which is why this comparison works.
Beyond the bucket test, watch for consistently low water levels even after refilling, soft or wet ground around the pool equipment pad, a water bill that’s climbing without explanation, or chemical usage that’s higher than normal because water is being replaced and diluting your chemistry. Pool leaks in inground systems are often underground in the plumbing lines or in the shell itself which means they’re invisible until you test for them properly. We use pressure testing and diagnostic equipment to find the actual source, not just the visible symptoms.
Yes. Georgia requires a building permit for any inground pool and for above-ground pools with water depths of 24 inches or more. In Lee County, that means submitting plans, meeting setback requirements pools and equipment must be at least 10 feet from the property line and pulling a separate fence permit, since Georgia requires a minimum 4-foot enclosure around residential pools.
If you’re in one of Leesburg’s HOA-governed subdivisions and many of the named neighborhoods here, from The Plantations to Twelve Oaks to Hunters Ridge, do have active HOAs you’ll also need HOA approval before the county permit process can even begin. Skipping that step and going straight to the county doesn’t protect you from HOA disputes after the fact. We handle all of this: the boundary survey, the site plan, county office coordination, and HOA documentation. It’s a layered process, but it’s one we’ve done before and know how to move through efficiently.
Most inground pool liner replacements take two to five days from draining to refill, depending on pool size, shape, and whether any underlying repairs are needed once the old liner comes out. The process involves draining the pool, removing the old liner, inspecting the walls and floor for any damage or irregularities, taking precise measurements, and installing the new liner with proper tensioning before refilling.
As for when it’s time the clearest signs are visible tears or punctures, persistent water loss that leak detection confirms is coming from the liner itself, wrinkling or separation at the walls, or fading and brittleness that signals the material has reached the end of its life. Most inground liners last 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance, though pools in Leesburg that have gone without consistent chemical management may see liner wear accelerate. A liner installed with incorrect measurements or insufficient mil thickness won’t last its full lifespan regardless of how well you maintain the water which is why precision in the installation matters as much as the liner material itself.
For most Leesburg pool owners, yes a heater is a practical investment. The swimming season here runs roughly late April through October, and a properly installed heater can extend that by four to six weeks on either end. That’s meaningful use time added to an asset you’ve already invested in. Leesburg doesn’t see the kind of winters that make heating impractical, but spring mornings and fall evenings can drop enough to make an unheated pool uncomfortable before you’d otherwise close it.
What installation involves depends on the heater type gas heaters require correct gas line sizing and pressure, and heat pumps require proper electrical connections and airflow clearance. Either way, the startup procedure matters. A heater that’s installed without following manufacturer specifications for line sizing, venting, and startup will wear out in three to five years instead of the eight to twelve it should last. We install to spec, document the installation, and walk you through what maintenance the unit needs to reach its full lifespan.
The honest answer is that in a market like Leesburg where the pool service industry ranges from established local companies to individuals running a truck and a phone number credentials matter more than you might expect. Georgia requires a valid residential contractor license for pool work exceeding $2,500. That license is verifiable. Asking for it, along with proof of insurance, is the fastest way to separate qualified companies from those who just show up and hope for the best.
Beyond credentials, look for a company that can explain what’s wrong before they fix it. Pool equipment problems a pump losing prime, a filter running at high pressure, a heater cycling off are symptoms of underlying causes. A technician who replaces the obvious broken part without diagnosing why it failed is setting you up for the same problem again in six months. We approach equipment repair the way a builder would: by understanding how every component in the system connects to every other one. That diagnostic depth is what separates a real repair from a temporary fix.
