Water will leave your pond, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s leaking. Evaporation and splashing can cause the water level to drop too. This is especially true during hot weather when the rate of evaporation increases. It’s only when it becomes a significant amount of water loss that this becomes a problem and you may be in need of a pond leak repair. If your pond starts needing more and more maintenance for water level, then it’s time to check for a leak. Finding a solution to a leaky pond first means finding the source.

Pond Leak Detection
Ponds can leak from a low liner edge which you can fix yourself by shoring it up with soil. Otherwise, it may be harder to mend. If it’s any of these other places, you may need a pond expert to fix it:
- Streams
- Waterfalls
- Underground Plumbing
- Filters
Causes for Pond Leak Repair
You might want to learn why your pond is leaking for yourself. It could be something such as taking down a dam the kids built. Here are a few ways pond leaks happen that you can prevent:
- Not turning off the automatic fill valve to ensure the system works without it
- Pushing stakes for irrigation or lighting through the liner
- Letting plants grow without trimming or repotting
Don’t Let A Pond Leak Drain Your Wallet Too
Performing a short pond leak detection test can save you time and money. Imagine hiring a pond contractor only to find out the cause is a low liner, something a pond owner can fix themselves. But it could be something more serious. If your water bill is higher than normal, check your pond for a leak because early leak detection can save you a lot of money on water.
