Is Your Water Feature Leaking? Here's When to Get Help From the Pros!

A water feature can turn your backyard into a peaceful retreat, but nothing kills that vibe faster than a leak. Whether it's a fountain, pond, or waterfall, leaks waste water, mess up your landscaping, and even drive up your utility bills. Here’s a quick guide to help you spot and fix leaks in your water feature—and how our team can help.

How to Tell If You’ve Got a Leak

Leaks aren’t always easy to spot, but here are a few signs to watch out for:

  1. Water Levels Dropping Fast: A little evaporation is normal, but if the water keeps dropping quickly, something's up.

  2. Wet Spots Around the Base: If you see soggy patches around your feature, there could be a leak underground.

  3. Too Much Algae: If algae is growing out of control, it could mean the water’s balance is off, possibly due to a leak.

  4. Weird Noises: If the pump sounds strange or the water flow is off, it might mean there’s an issue.

How to Find the Leak

Before you call in the pros, you can try a few things yourself:

  1. Check the Pump and Plumbing: Look for cracks, loose connections, or worn-out seals.

  2. Turn Off the Pump: If the water keeps dropping when the pump's off, it might be a plumbing issue or a structural leak.

  3. Look at the Liner or Structure: For ponds, check for holes in the liner. For fountains, look for cracks in the basin or concrete.
