We have tried using the greatstuff in that area and it seemed to work for 6
weeks. But than the leak came back with a vengence. Either we didn't 'dam'
it up well enough or the greatstuff failed. Being as the greatstuff worked
for 6 weeks makes me think we are on the right track at the source of the
leak. We may need to use some other method. Mortar may be what we have to
do. My husband wants to try the greatstuff again but I am afraid after time
we will have the same problem.

If the leak is where you suspect it to be, then you might try using mortar
or great stuff to build a dam near the end of the timber to prevent water
from flowing over to the area that is leaking. To get the quantity of
leak
you are describing, it would take more than splash to let that much water
out of the pond. It looks like the big rock stays wet from splash, but it
also looks as if water is able to run behind the timber to the area in
question.

Here is a link of pictures of our pond/waterfall leak
http://public.fotki.com/Nikkiekoala/our_garden/
We attempted to fix it at the beginning of the season. We used great
stuff
to stop the waters path.
We didn't have a leak for around 6 weeks. The leak started out slowly.
When
we saw the water
getting cloudy with dirt we thought is was due to the construction
behind
us
(I posted about that last week)
but now it appears to be leaching in from the side of the pond. Over the
last 5 days we started to see
that the ground in front of the pond was damp and has increasingly
gotten
worse to where now it is puddling.
Obviously, the leak isn't fix, we just addressed it with a temp. band
aid.
Does anyone have a suggestion on
how we can stop the leak?? The Greatstuff worked for a while. If we
weren't
on the right track the leak would have
been as bad as it was at the end of the season last year, when we
started
the falls this season. Right?
There are descriptions with each picture in the link above. Look at the
pictures with the 'new' star those are the
ones of the leak.
Thanks!!!!
