Here in North New Jersey we use a consistent troubleshooting methodology to narrow down the source of your leak or repair needed as quickly as possible. We start with the most likely suspects, such as leaky plumbing connections, skimmer and filter leaks, and improperly formed waterfalls. If you live in the Denville, Morris County surrounding areas and are having pond problems such as a pond leak, and the source of the issue is not found in these areas, and we've ruled everything else out – odds are, you've got a hole in your liner that needs repair.

Look for any low edges. Settling at the pond's edge is the most common cause of a leak, especially in a new pond. Typically, the low edges are found around the stream and waterfall where settling may have occurred after a few rainfalls. These areas are usually built up during the construction of the pond using the soil from the excavation, and are prone to some settling.

Another possibility is that water is splashing out of your stream. To fix a "splash leak," all you have to do is adjust a few of the rocks under and around your waterfall. This will contain or redirect the splash and it will stop the splash leak. Once again, you've solved the problem the easy and cost-effective way ... using common sense.
