Seek Leak
Seek Leak
A two-part polymer-based solution designed to seal leaks from small ponds to larger lakes.
Why Seek Leak is Different
Most pond leak products require treatment of the entire pond. Seek Leak is designed to target and seal the source of the leak rather than treating the entire pond basin.
This allows customers to focus treatment where the leak is occurring instead of applying product across the entire pond.
Common Pond Leak Locations
- Dam embankments
- Pond bottoms
- Areas where clay was not properly compacted during construction
- Sandy seams and porous soil zones
- Around pipes, standpipes, and overflow structures
- Areas disturbed by burrowing animals
Wet Application Rate (Applied on Water)
- One unit covers approximately 1,000–4,000 square feet.
- Coverage depends on leak size and severity.
- Larger leaks require heavier application rates and will reduce total coverage area.
Dry Application During Pond Construction
Seek Leak can also be used during pond construction before water is added.
If there are areas of concern such as sandy soils, poor clay, or suspect zones within the pond basin, Seek Leak can be applied directly to those areas and incorporated into the soil.
General Process
- Apply Seek Leak to the problem area.
- Disk or mix the product into the soil.
- Cap with quality clay.
- Allow rainfall and natural hydration to activate the sealing process.
Application Rate
- Approximately 2,000 square feet per unit.
This provides pond owners and contractors an opportunity to address potential leak areas before filling the pond.
Expected Results
- Customers may begin seeing reduced water loss within approximately 7 days of application.
- Results vary based on leak size, location, soil conditions, and application accuracy.
Product Longevity
- Seek Leak is not a temporary patch.
- Expected service life is approximately 10-12 years after application.
- Actual longevity may vary depending on soil conditions, erosion, animal activity, water fluctuations, and overall pond maintenance.
This provides pond owners and contractors an opportunity to address potential leak areas before filling the pond.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Determine How Much Water My Pond Is Losing?
Perform a vertical water loss test.
Drive a stake, T-post, stick, or similar marker into the pond bottom where it will remain stable.
Mark the current water level on the post.
Measure and record the water level drop after 24 hours.
Continue monitoring for several days.
Keep notes of daily water loss measurements.
Monitoring water loss over multiple days provides a better understanding of whether the pond is experiencing normal evaporation or a potential leak.
Can I Apply Seek Leak Myself?
Absolutely.
Seek Leak is designed for pond owners to apply themselves without specialized equipment.
Each shipment includes application instructions, and detailed application information will also be available on our website.
For pond owners who need assistance identifying the likely leak location, Arrowhead Pond Restoration offers phone consultations to help improve application accuracy and maximize results.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Many customers begin noticing reduced water loss within approximately 7 days of application.
Do I Need to Treat My Entire Pond?
No.
Unlike many competing products that require treatment of the entire pond basin, Seek Leak is designed to target the suspected leak area. This can reduce material usage and focus treatment where it is needed most.
Can Seek Leak Be Used Before My Pond Is Filled?
Yes.
Seek Leak can be applied during pond construction before water is added to the pond.
This is an excellent option for addressing suspect areas before the pond is filled and can help reduce the risk of future leakage and costly repairs.
How Long Does Seek Leak Last?
Under normal conditions, Seek Leak has an expected service life of approximately 10-12 years after application.
