Pond Leak Repair in Atlanta
Atlanta Waterscapes does pond leak repair in Atlanta: we find where the water's going, fix it, and get the level holding again. Call John at (770) 361-7446 to book a leak check.
Our Leak Check
We start by ruling out the easy causes, summer evaporation and water splashing out of the falls. Then we turn the pump off and watch the level. If it holds, the leak is in the waterfall, stream or plumbing; if it keeps dropping, it's in the pond itself. Last, we put dye in the water at the waterfall, the skimmer and the fittings to find the exact spot. Book a leak check and we'll start there.
Where Ponds Usually Leak
- 01
Waterfall and stream edges
The most common spot. Stones settle, the liner edge slips below the waterline, and water runs out the side of the falls instead of back into the pond. See waterfall repair in Atlanta.
- 02
Low edges and a settled liner
Where the ground under the edge settles, the rim drops below the water level and the pond spills or wicks into the soil.
- 03
Skimmer, filter and plumbing fittings
Seals wear and fittings loosen where pipes meet the skimmer and filter. Our own crew does water-feature plumbing, so we fix these too.
- 04
Holes in the liner
Roots, sharp rock, animals and age can all puncture a liner. A small hole can be patched; a brittle or badly torn liner gets replaced.

Pond Leak Repair Without Losing Your Fish
When the water is dropping, the fish come first. We net them out and keep them in their own pond water while we work, then treat the new water before they go back in. If your pond is draining fast, call (770) 361-7446 right away.
How Much Does Pond Leak Repair Cost in Atlanta?
It comes down to where the leak is and how much stone has to come up to reach it. Resetting a few stones at the falls is a small job; a hole under the edge stones is a bigger one. John finds the leak first and gives you a price before any repair starts. If the leak turns out to be one of several problems, see pond repair in Atlanta for full restorations. Get a free estimate.

What should I do if my pond is leaking?
Top the pond up with dechlorinated water so the fish and the pump stay covered, and note how fast the level falls. Then call us: the more you can tell us, the faster we find it. Call John at (770) 361-7446.
What can you put in a pond to stop a leak?
Sealers and leak-stop products can slow a small leak for a while, but they don't fix the cause, whether that's a slipped liner edge, a settled stone or a worn fitting. Treat them as a stopgap until the source is repaired. Book a leak check.
