Start Your Koi Pond Maintenance With An Exploratory Drain And Clean
Your pond is an eyesore on your home, a frustration, or both. You may be seeing murky water, overgrown plants, or you may start smelling a weird odor around your pond…
You may be constantly adding water to your pond or seeing puddles of water forming outside of it. Other issues, like debris build-up and malfunctioning pumps, can prevent your water feature from functioning correctly.
With an exploratory drain and clean, you’ll find out exactly what your pond needs to get back to beautiful. You’ll also be fully educated on how your pond works.
You can relax better knowing your pond is taken care of.
You'll start with an exploratory drain and clean if:
- You just bought your house and inherited a water feature
- Your old pond company went out of business
- Your pond needs a repair
- Your water feature leaks
- Your pump isn't working anymore
- Your pond hasn't been cleaned in awhile
Koi Pond Maintenance & Koi Pond Cleaning Creates Healthy Ecosystems
You can’t truly enjoy your koi pond when it looks dirty or unkempt. This is especially true if you know your fish are living in that dirty water.
Regular koi pond maintenance and koi pond cleaning services can help with this and more! You’ll have a pond that looks clean and is a great home for your fish.
More than that, you can relax knowing your koi pond is in great working condition. We’ll inspect the liner, edges, pump, filtration system, and electrical devices to ensure everything works properly. If your koi pond needs any repairs, we’ll recommend the best course of action.
Some of the most common koi pond maintenance solutions include:
- Diagnosing the quality of the water
- Full cleaning for clear water
- Trimming of plants
- Protecting the pond from debris
- Minor adjusting of rocks to increase safety
- Checking the health of the fish
How An Exploratory Drain And Clean Works
No efforts will be spared in giving your pond the proper care. We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop throughout the entire process of cleaning your pond, and equip you with tips and tricks to keep it healthy for longer.
Almost all of our koi pond maintenance clients start with an exploratory drain and clean first.
Drain Your Pond
We start with draining your pond so that we can get a full picture of what’s going on with your feature. We carefully remove any fish and place them in a temporary tank for the duration of the cleaning.
Clean Your Pond
After we drain your pond, we clean every part of the feature. This helps to give a cleaner foundation for our inspection.
Inspect Your Pond
With your pond being a clean slate, we dive in with a thorough inspection. We check for holes, leaks, and malfunctioning parts. We take notes and create a detailed report along the way.
Refill Your Pond
Once your pond has been fully inspected, we refill your water feature and replace the fish.
Educate You About Your Pond
Now that your pond has been completely reset to a healthy state, we go over our findings with you. This is your time to learn about the state of your pond and how to set it up for success going forward.

I searched the internet and came across Premier Ponds. They showed up to access my situation and made suggestions on how to improve the overall look of the backyard with the pond-less waterfall. They took the old one out and within a few days I was looking at my new beautiful waterfall that even lights up at night. They even took the time to plant the flowers that I bought around the waterfall and put down the mulch for me as well.
Throughout the years, whenever I have an issue (even on the weekend) I would call and I usually had someone here the next day or maybe even the same day to solve the problem. This year I had Premier Ponds put in some retaining walls and they did an outstanding job of tying in the walls with the waterfall. It looks looks like its been there the whole time.
I truly would recommend Premier Ponds. They are a great bunch of people to work with and they left me with a beautiful waterfall that I have enjoyed for many years.
