  1. umm call the people who made the pond and have them fix it for free its there fault that the pond is screwed up!

    good luck!


  2. i would say call the guy who put the pond it. he should be willing to come fix the problem, especially if it's from a mistake he made.

  3. did you put a liner in it? Ponds need liners..

  4. Probably gonna have to drain the pond to find the leak. Make them fix it for free cuz it was their mistake. Is it inground? Usually they line it with thick plastic stuff so that doesnt happen. If it is, and they didnt, make them or you'll keep having problems

  5. Ponds are frequently lined with Bentonite which is a form of clay that expands when wet.  Aleaking pond can sometimes be plugged by stirring bentonite into the water. The flow of water out the leak will draw the suspended clay to the leak and form a plug. Beware though, if you have a sizable pond  it will require ALOT of Bentonite. Contact a local well driller for a source of Bentonite - they refer to it as "Drillers Mud".

    If you have a large pond wait until the pond dries. Have the clay, not the dirt, moved to where the leak was and pack in the whole surrounding area. That should work.

    Hope this helps.  :)
