Not Holding Water!

Over time issues can arise with any backyard pond. Aquaria had a homeowner with a backyard pond that was losing water on a more continuous basis then evaporation warranted.
Aquaria Services assessed the situation on site and discovered the liner was the culprit. This pond had been installed with a PVC plastic liner material, rather than an EPDM rubber liner. This liner, while widely used, does carry unique issues. It can become brittle when exposed to UV, easily tears and is not repairable.
The decision was made to replace the liner. At this time, the homeowner decided to spruce up his pond. This was inclusive of reshaping the rockwork and repairing the waterfall in the process. These additional enhancements went a long way to creating an aesthetic appeal the homeowner will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
