Atlanta Waterscapes does waterfall repair in Atlanta for pond and pondless waterfalls that leak, lose flow or have lost their shape. Call John at (770) 361-7446 to book a repair visit.
Why Pond Waterfalls Leak
Most of the time it's one of four things: splash landing outside the liner, soil or plants along the edge wicking water out, stones that have settled and push water over the liner edge, or a liner under the falls that has slipped or torn. If the falls check out, see pond leak repair in Atlanta. Book a repair visit.
Waterfall Repair: Resetting Stone and Sealing the Falls
Resealing with waterfall foam
Foam sealant fills the gaps between and under the spillway stones, so the water runs over the stone instead of through it and behind the liner.
Rebuilding a falls that's lost its shape
When stones have shifted or the falls never looked right, we take it down to the liner, fix what failed and reset the stone by hand. We rebuilt a commercial horseshoe waterfall on Buford Highway this way after its liner failed and it kept leaking. Call John about yours.
Weak Flow: Pumps, Clogs and Plumbing
A falls that has gone from a sheet to a trickle usually has a clogged intake or filter, a blocked or kinked line, or a pump that's worn out or too small. Our own crew does the plumbing.
Pond pump replacement in AtlantaAlgae on the Falls
A thin layer of algae on the stones is normal in a Georgia summer. Thick mats mean the water has more nutrients than the filter can handle. On the Buford Highway falls, managing algae in the Southern heat meant adding a high-efficiency filtration system. Get a free estimate for better filtration.
How Much Does Waterfall Repair Cost in Atlanta?
It depends on the fix: resealing a few gaps is a small job, a new pump sits in the middle, and a rebuild down to the liner is the biggest. John looks at the falls first and gives you a price before any work starts. For a brand-new falls, see backyard waterfalls in Atlanta. Get a free estimate.

Call John · (770) 361-7446Questions About Fixing a Falls
How do you fix a leak in a waterfall?
Find it first. If the pond holds its level with the pump off, the leak is in the falls or stream. Then it's a matter of raising a low liner edge, resetting stones that send water sideways and sealing the gaps.
Will dish soap remove algae?
Not in a pond with fish. Soap harms fish and kills the good bacteria the filter depends on. Scrub the stones with a stiff brush, and fix what is feeding the algae. Call John at (770) 361-7446 for help with yours.
