As the title states I paid a company to come winterize my pool, and now I have water coming up from the ground right next to where my filter, and all the plumbing enters the ground. This water only appears when I run the pump, and it takes some time for it to fill up completely.
Pool Was Winterized By A Pool Company And Now I Have A Leak, Who Is Responsible?

Unfortunately, unless you can prove it was due to something they did, they can't be held responsible. Just check on these forums for why - leaks are incredibly common, shoddy winterizing or no shoddy winterizing.
You are responsible but it never hurts to ask them about it. I have a pool company close my pool and after opening this year I also had a leak. The ground around the pumps was getting wet when running. I found one leak, it was the drain plug in my booster pump. I pulled it out cleaned and lubed it and put it back in. No more leak. However, the ground was still getting wet. I couldn't see where it was coming from. Pool guy took a look and found that it was the seal between my main pump and motor. We had a super cold spell here this winter, the highs were only around 5 degrees for a while. Maybe that cold had something to do with it, maybe not.
I guess we will see how it plays out, but I'm pretty sure I wont be as lucky as you based off these pictures.
With the water pooling there, I'm afraid I see digging in your future. Make sure it's not coming from one of those unions and running down the pipe to the gravel.
