Understanding Waterfall Leaks and How to Fix Them

Water features add beauty to any garden, but leaks can turn them into maintenance nightmares. At New England Aquatic Landscaping, we recently tackled a leaking waterfall in Dover, Massachusetts, demonstrating our expertise in identifying and fixing such issues.

Identifying the Leak

The first step is diagnosing the problem. In this case, water was escaping through a low edge, bypassing the intended path.

Our Solution

To resolve this, we excavated the area, installed weep pipes to redirect the water, and backfilled with gravel to support the pipes. This approach ensures that water flows correctly, preventing future leaks.

Preventive Measures

Regularly checking for low edges and potential weep points is essential. Ensuring the liner is properly stretched and maintaining gravel and pipes can prevent sediment build-up and future leaks.

Wrapping Up

By addressing leaks promptly and effectively, you can keep your water feature functional and beautiful. If you’re experiencing similar issues, New England Aquatic Landscaping is here to help.
