Dealing with Pond Leaks

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.

Our Leak Investigation Process

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.

Fixing Murky Water and Improving Pond Health

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.

Restoring Water Quality and Oxygen Levels

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.

Cost-Effective Pond Repairs

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.

Specialist Pond Relining Services

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.

Before You Commit to Relining ⚠

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!

Is It Time to Rebuild Your Pond?

Murky Water

Persistent water quality issues are a sign that the pond’s system isn’t functioning as it should.

What Our Customers Say

Andre came to quote for a repair to our traditional stone circular pond, which was leaking, he discussed with us an alternative to repairing by installing an Aquascape pond which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife.
We discussed the layout as we wanted a fountain going into the pond with rocks and colourful plants. What he has created is a work of art and we are very pleased with it.
He has such an attention to detail placing rocks so the water runs just at the right angle & studying from different areas to ensure it looks good from the house looking down & from anywhere in the garden.
We are excited to see the wildlife & the plants when they mature through the year ahead.
Already after a few weeks we have thousands of tadpoles, the fish are thriving and the plants are starting to spread and bloom, it really does look absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Andre

Andre is a master of his art. We inherited a traditional circular pond, showing lots of black liner (which leaked), surrounded by a concrete circle. Andre discussed with us an alternative to just replacing the liner, which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife. We discussed the general idea of stream, pond, rocks and beach area. What he has delivered is over and above anything we imagined. It is stunning and we love it. He has such an eye for detail in placing rocks and plants, studying from every angle to ensure a perfect picture from anywhere in the garden. I cannot wait to enjoy all the seasons with my grandchildren, creating many memories and encouraging their joy of wildlife.

Wellies and Waders have just completed a pond build for us here in the South Hams of Devon. We gave Andre the brief of creating a natural looking, wildlife friendly pond with a small stream to remind us of a Dartmoor stream.
The finished project exceeds our expectations and is infinitely better than the old, preformed pond which it replaced. The pond looks fantastic, the stream is fantastic and he also added a second small waterfall for additional contrast and impact.
Andre is not only a perfectionist with a great attention to detail but throughout the build he was working on the pond as if it was his own garden and he was building it for his own enjoyment. Our garden has been transformed and we and our children are delighted.
Andre is an absolute pleasure to deal with and we could not recommend him highly enough.

André Crawford has done a lovely job of remodelling and cleaning my garden pond. At 98, I do not get out very much and my pond has been a wonderful source of entertainment. It is full of newts which appear in spring and summer and the occasional frog, dragonflies and other insects. It was created by a huge amount of hard work and design flair by André. Thank you so much.

“Well done Andre’ all your hard work has paid off transforming our ponds from over grown and neglected embarrassment to a wonderful water feature and the jewel in our garden! We would highly recommend you above anyone else in the Bay who we have used in the past and had very disappointing results with no interest in after sales care, you have been completely the opposite going that extra mile and offering a great ongoing maintenance service!”

“André is very reliable, extremely hard working and takes pride in his work. His knowledge of ponds is excellent. He did an amazing job transforming our overgrown pond into a beautiful feature.

Our grandchildren loved watching and helping where able as they are young and learnt a great deal about ponds and the wild life that was present in it.

Highly recommend.”
