3 Options We offer to Solve Leaking Ponds

Option #1

You locate and fix the leak. We will provide you, in layman’s terms, with a complete set of instructions on how to locate your leak(s). If you need to go further in our step by step process, some tools of the trade may be required to continue, but they can be purchased at any home improvement store. This can be a very difficult process. Patching the liner is simple! It’s just like patching a hole in a bicycle tire.

What You need to Know During the Process

Please be patient. Our step by step process takes time and delays may occur.
Hands off! Our step by step process requires the water feature to run untouched for you to locate the leak(s). Any rocks that are moved or water added, will void the process, and we will have to start over!
An aerator. If you decide to take this on by yourself, in the summer it is a good idea to add an aerator when you pump is turned off. This will give your fish the oxygen they need to survive.

Option #2

Have us out to your place to do an Exploratory Cleaning. Prices start at $600. During this visit will clean out the pump, skimmer, bio-filtration system. While performing this service we will be looking for leaks in the liner, fittings, edges of the pond and stream etc. We will attempt to locate a leak. It is very possible that we may not be able to find the leak or all of the leaks. Our exploratory Cleaning Process is explained in the enclosed document.

Option #3

The last option is Liner Replacement and rebuild This will likely be the most expensive option, but will be a guaranteed fix that we stand by.

Our Pond & Water Feature Leak Detection Services

Finding a leak in a pond can be a daunting task for someone without a great deal of experience. We know how to fix a pond leak.

Pondscapes Of Charlotte services the Charlotte & southern Piedmont & northern South Carolina area and uses a fairly consistent troubleshooting methodology to narrow down the source of your leak as quickly as possible.

We start with the most likely suspects, such as leaky plumbing connections, skimmer and filter leaks, and improperly formed waterfalls. And especially around the edges of your pond.

Your safety concerns about loose rocks that have fallen in your pond may create holes when they land on the bottom, or dirt back-filled around low liner edges might have settled with time.

We Will Help You Try And Rule Out All Possibilities !

WATERFALL/STREAM Leaks Are Most Common

Having a leak in the waterfall or area of your stream/waterfalls is one of the most common leak spots for any water feature. Newly built waterfalls will settle over time, thus in some cases lowering liner edges allowing water to exit your pond at the waterfall. Depending on how your stream or waterfalls are built will depend on the cost to disassemble and rebuild them. In some cases, holes in your liner can be repaired quickly and relatively easily. But be aware — finding holes can be like looking for a needle in a haystack! Rocks, boulders, and gravel need to be moved or removed, cleaned, inspected, and returned back to their original spots. Sometimes it’s just plain expensive to inspect your pond leak inch by inch. Be prepared to consider having it rebuilt from the start of our meeting.

Holes In Your Liner Can Be Repaired ...
That is... If We Can Find Them!

" They May Be Cute, But A Poorly Built Pond
Is Heaven On Earth To A Chipmunk "

If the leak is not visibly found in the waterfall/stream areas, and we've ruled everything else out – odds are, you've got a hole in your liner. As we mentioned above, finding this hole is a gamble against time and money !

Contractors like us that consistently repair leaky water features (Especially Ponds) will tell you... that when they are shut down for the winter, the cute little chipmunks that bounce around your garden will eventually find their way in-between the now dry rocks in your waterfalls and streams.

The only way to find these holes is to narrow down the areas where you see them most. If you don't know, the only way to find it, is to start taking apart the pond or waterfalls to hopefully find the source of the leak, SO KEEP AN EYE ON THEM!
