Our question comes from Claudette in Missoula, Montana. She writes:
I have a large (man-made) pond in my back yard. While I believe it’s leaking, I don’t know for sure. Can it be tested?
Dear Claudette,
Absolutely. Modern leak detection technology has made it possible to test large water-holding structures such as ponds and fountains for leaks.
Depending on the amount of the water loss, the size of the circulating system, and the condition of the pond interior, an experienced and well-equipped leak detection company (like American Leak Detection) can give you a summary and estimate of the work involved and thereafter locate leaks in the pond.

I have a 25′ x 40′ goldfish pond with a polyethelene liner. I have an active leak. I am able to take the water that is leaking behind the liner and collect it in a sump pit and pump it back into the pond. However, I would like to find the leak and repair it. I understand that you have an electronic way of doing this. Will the device that puts a current in the water that can find the leak since the current wants to go to a ground work on my pond? If so I would like to get one of your local technicians out. I am located 18 miles east of Columbus Ohio.
