Water Feature Repair in Honiton

### When Water Features Stop Working

Water features are lovely until they stop working. Pump gives up, water level drops mysteriously, flow becomes a dribble, or it just won't start after winter. They sit there silent and green, looking sadder by the day.

Most problems are straightforward - blocked pumps, failed seals, perished tubing, airlocks, or just not being set up right to begin with. We diagnose the issue, fix it, clean everything up, and get water flowing again.

### Common Problems We Fix

**Pump issues:** Not working, weak flow, noisy, keeps stopping. Often it's blocked with debris or limescale. Sometimes pumps just die and need replacing.

**Leaks:** Water level dropping faster than evaporation explains. Could be liner damage, failed joints in pipework, cracked reservoirs. We find and seal leaks.

**Poor flow:** Water barely moving, uneven distribution, weak effect. Usually pump undersized, blocked, or pipework badly designed.

**Maintenance:** Features full of leaves and sludge, pumps caked in limescale, filters blocked solid. Regular cleaning keeps them working.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Run your water feature regularly, even in winter (unless freezing). Pumps that sit dormant for months often seize up and die.
