The main problem is the type of soil, the porosity of the ground, and not treating or lining the water tank when built.
We’ll supply the necessary equipment, operators, and mineral to treat your pond.
When building a pond, a small lagoon, or any water body, the appropriate steps must be considered to guarantee that your pond avoids any leak. Most water bodies will lose significant water over time, mainly if it is on a permeable surface. Sodium bentonite may remove or prevent water drainage in a quick, efficient, and environmentally friendly tank sealer.

A variety of factors may cause leaks in the pond. Perhaps the most common cause is the inadequate building of the foundation of the creek. In short, by building the pond correctly from the start, a leaking pond can be avoided. Areas of sand or gravel or bedrock fractures that have not been properly filled with soil during construction can gradually leak out.
Trees may also contribute to leaks along pond banks or at pond dams. Removing the trees from the pond could also be necessary. Leaks also originate from outlet pipes in older ponds that rust and leak under the water.
Trees can also be responsible for the frequent loss of water in a pond. Water-loving plants, such as willows and maples, frequently flourish along the banks of ponds. Water is drained from the pond by the roots of these trees as they grow. Water loss from the pond would depend on the pond’s design, plants, number of trees, and pond baselines (liner).
The rapid loss of water, which slows or stops losing water, is also a characteristic of a pond with bank leaks. In this case, the leak spot is generally on or above the water surface on the reservoir’s edge. In the event that you can’t locate the general position of the leak, you would undoubtedly need to drain the body of water and thoroughly rebuild the whole pond bottom.
The commitment and cost of fixing the leaking pond are closely related to the ability to locate the cause of the leaking. Unfortunately, the source of the leak can be challenging to find.
We recommend treating your pond dry, and we spread our sodium bentonite mix mesh granular/powder on top of the soil, break the soil till it in or disk it only 3 inches from the ground, compact it, wet the bentonite to expand and compact again.
This method is the best way to line up your pond with bentonite clay.
We can recommend and help you to make the best decision on the type and amount of bentonite needed for your pond soil.
Our mixed mesh particle size blend is the best option to seal and line your pond.
Using crushed chips or big bentonite granular particles it will require twice or three more times of product to have the bentonite particles bond and seal together to create a solid bonded blanket liner.
Perhaps you’d like to reduce water seepage in a pond or lagoon? Maybe, you want to prevent seepage from a body of water? Sodium bentonite has proved to be one of the most successful sealants available in today’s market. Lonestar Sodium bentonite is composed of a 100% natural mineral that has unique properties. If you have a leaking pond, we can fix it; our solution is treating the pond with bentonite clay and apply it correctly and permanently by using the blanket method.
