Waterfall sealing

Posted by Jonathan Brewster on June 22, 2014 at 7:49pm in Water gardens

I have a customer that has an old stone waterfall that has been made out of huge stone blocks with concrete and mortar wells in the steps. The problem is that it leaks quicker than a hose pipe can fill when watering! Do you guys know of any products that can be used to seal the edges without starting again?

    There are several pond sealants that you paint on. I feel your pain as I had a similar job.

    Leak detection fluid & a uv torch can help

    Would love to be able to use the detection fluid and just find the one or two leaks but I think this is more like a colander and leaking under the massive blocks too. Thanks will look up pond sealing paint. I had thought about epoxey repair mortar?

    I have seen people re coat the bowls using fibre glass before.. might be worth considering

    pond paint will not be any use as it needs a sound crack free substrate. Fibreglass shounds like a good option but will be expensive and may not work if the large stones form falls etc
