Pond leak detection and repair

Signs it's time

• You're topping off more than an inch or so a week (outside of hot, dry spells)
• Wet, soggy ground or mulch near the pond or waterfall
• The water drops to the same level every time and then stops
• Visible tears, sagging liner or rocks sliding into the pond

What the visit usually involves

• Running the pond with the pump off, then on, to narrow down where the water goes
• Checking edges, the waterfall and stream for low spots and splash-out
• Inspecting the skimmer, filter box and plumbing connections
• Patching liner tears or resealing waterfall foam and edges
• Talking through liner replacement if the old liner is past saving

Every pond and every pro is a little different. The pond professional you're matched with will explain their own process and price before any work starts.

Have this ready when you call

• How much water you lose per day or week
• Whether the level stops dropping at a certain point
• Whether the loss changes with the waterfall on or off
• Liner type and age, if you know it
