If you’ve noticed your pond water levels dropping and you’re unsure why, it’s likely you’re dealing with a leak. Finding the source of a leak can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack—especially when you don’t know how many potential holes you’re looking for!
Unless the leak is caused by an obvious accident (such as a slipped gardening fork), a persistent leak is often a sign that your pond liner or system has reached the end of its life. Over time, liners degrade, especially if they’ve been exposed to harsh weather conditions, or if your pond is very old. If you’re constantly patching leaks only for more to appear, it may be time to consider rebuilding your pond for a more sustainable, long-lasting solution.
Instead of continually throwing money at temporary repairs, rebuilding your pond provides the chance to upgrade your entire water feature—creating the water feature your garden truly deserves. We specialize in rebuilding ponds and water features using Aquascape’s methods, focusing on biological filtration, ecosystem balance, and sustainable solutions.
When you notice your pond isn’t holding water, we start with a comprehensive leak investigation. This involves checking the entire system, from the liner to the filtration and water flow systems. By thoroughly inspecting every element, we identify the root cause and provide the best solution to fix the issue.
We don’t just patch up the problem—we work to resolve the leak in the most effective, long-term way possible. In some cases, this may involve replacing the liner, upgrading the filtration system, or installing aeration solutions like waterfalls or streams to help improve water circulation and prevent future issues.
There are many reasons your pond water might turn murky. A faulty pump, lack of aeration, or a deep clean that’s long overdue are just some of the common culprits. We recommend cleaning your pond at least once every two years to ensure it stays clear, healthy, and free from debris.
In addition to a deep clean, we may recommend adding biological filtration or aquatic plants to help restore balance to your pond’s ecosystem. This will not only improve the water clarity but also ensure your fish and wildlife thrive in a healthier environment.
As the temperature rises, oxygen levels in your pond can drop, which can stress out your fish. This can result in gasping fish at the surface. In such cases, aeration solutions such as adding a stream or waterfall to your pond are essential to help reintroduce oxygen into the water.
By using our Aquascape method, we can help you transform your existing pond into a self-sustaining ecosystem. Adding a stream, waterfall, or aerator not only improves water oxygenation but also helps reduce stress on your fish, encourage beneficial bacteria, and prevent algae growth.
If you’ve noticed cracks or tears in your pond liner, don’t panic. Our team is here to help. We will assess the damage and provide you with the most cost-effective repair options. However, keep in mind that repeated repairs can add up and may no longer be worth the investment in the long run.
If a rebuild is necessary, we can work with you to design and create a pond that will stand the test of time, using biological filtration and natural ecosystem processes to keep your pond healthy and balanced. This includes adding the right plants, filtration systems, and aeration to ensure your pond thrives.
If you’re looking to replace your pond liner without making major changes to your existing setup, our specialist relining service is the perfect solution. While we specialise in Ecosystem Ponds, we also offer like-for-like pond relining for those who simply want to restore their pond without a full transformation.
Our process includes careful removal of the old liner, professional installation of a high-quality, durable replacement liner, and the reinstatement of any existing rockwork, edging, or paving to ensure a seamless finish. With years of experience in pond construction and repair, we take every measure to ensure your pond remains watertight and visually stunning for years to come.
Starting from £3,495, our relining service provides a long-lasting, expert solution for ponds in need of restoration.
This could be the perfect time to explore the benefits of an Ecosystem Pond! Instead of simply replacing the liner, why not create a thriving, self-sustaining habitat that works with nature, reducing maintenance and improving water quality? Let’s discuss the possibilities and find the best solution for your pond!
