Pond Leak Repair

Bowman Landscapes, LLC, serving the Milwaukie, Portland & surrounding Clackamas County, Oregon-OR areas, knows that a leak in your pond liner can be a big problem for you and your aquatic life, as it could potentially drain all or most of the water, leaving very little space for them to survive. A pond leak can be hard to find and the first thing we always advise is to top off the pond and then turn off all pond equipment, including pumps and or water feature filters. Leave it overnight and check the next morning before you contact us. If the level of the water has dropped then you know for sure it's a liner leak, rather than leaking pipes or filtration unit.

If the leak is obvious then you'd most likely have seen it and the pond would empty very quickly. This isn't normally the case with a leaking liner, you'll usually find it's a pinhole and you're going to have trouble locating it. The best way is to allow the pond to drain and, when the water stops leaking, examine the liner at the new water level. This will take some time as most liners are black and it's going to be hard to find a pinhole. Contact us if you suspect you have a leak and we will be able to help you find and fix it!
