Pond & Waterfall Leak Repairs & Detection
Frontier Ponds has been Serving Union Rockford & McHenry, Lake, Dupage, Kane & Cook County Illinois (IL) Area for over a decade. As a result of uneducated or poor installation techniques or even maintenance neglect, waterfalls and streams do occasionally require repairs. Liner tears and the breakdown of equipment are issues we see often with damaged or improperly operating water features, although the shifting of pebbles, rocks, and even land can also lead to substantial problems. Regardless of the issues that have led to the malfunction of your water feature, the experience and unique training of our team allows us to diagnose and fix your problem quickly and accurately. |

If you notice you have to add water on a daily basis, or hear the "hissing" of your water fill valve constantly running, (after properly setting the water level) you may have a leak, most of which occur along the perimeter of the waterfall and stream. These leaks are generally due to the ground settling which causes the water to trickle over the edge of the liner. These leaks can be easily fixed.
- Check the perimeter of the pond, waterfall, and stream for any areas that are wet. This is usually a good indicator that water is leaking over the liner.
- Check to make sure any slow moving sections of the stream/waterfall have not become obstructed by leaves, plants, or other debris. This can cause the water to back up and leak over the edge of the liner.
- Once you have found the leak, pack additional soil under the liner to raise the edge above the water level. Hide the exposed liner by replacing the gravel and add mulch.
- If you have plants growing in your BIOFALLS® filter, it is common for their growth to displace the water, causing it to flow over the back side of the filter. Simply remove enough of the plants to lower the water level.
