A healthy water garden relies on strong liner. | Aquatic plants are typically more carefree than their inground counterparts. In a water garden, however, plants are just part of what needs attention. The liner, equipment, infrastructure and finishing materials also require regular attention, maintenance and repair. Regular maintenance checks of your water garden should include leak inspection. Look for wear points, unexpected low water, saturated soil outside the liner and soil in the bottom of the feature. The following images and their captions demonstrate the simple steps to repairing a liner leak.

| Step 1: Drain the water feature and carefully remove plants and fish. Remove the protective gravel, cobble and boulders from the area suspected of leaks, exposing the liner, tear/puncture and any signs of other damage or wear. (Inspect it carefully.) |
