How to Fix a Leaking Dam Without Draining It

How to Fix a Leaking Dam Without Draining It

Leaking dams & ponds can lead to serious water loss, reduced agricultural productivity & costly repairs if left untreated. What if there was a simple, affordable solution that doesn’t require draining your dam or hiring heavy machinery? That’s where Water$ave Plug & Water$ave Seep come in. Two innovative, easy-to-use polymer-based products from Polymer Innovations designed to seal leaks in earthen dams & ponds quickly, effectively & safely.

 

What Are Water$ave Plug & Water$ave Seep?

Water$ave Plug & Water$ave Seep are both dry, granular polymer blends applied directly to the surface of a full or partially full dam or pond. These polymers are drawn into the leaking areas, where they absorb water & swell up to form a seal. There’s no need to drain the dam, remove water or disturb the soil. The products are environmentally friendly, non-toxic & safe for livestock.

 

Which Product Do I Need?

Choosing between Water$ave Plug & Seep depends on your dam’s soil type, leak location & how fast the water is escaping:

 

Water$ave Seep

Best for:

  • Fine or sandy soil
  • Slow leaks in the dam wall
  • Water loss less than 150mm per week
  • Dams with wet patches or seepage, but no visible water flow outside

Water$ave Plug

Best for:

  • Coarse or rocky soil
  • Faster leaks from the dam base
  • Water loss over 150mm per week
  • Visible signs of water escaping from outside the dam

How Do I Apply It?

Before application, clean the surface; Remove weeds, reeds, leaves, or silt that might block the polymer from reaching the soil. Application is simple & can be done by hand or with a spreader. Apply at a rate of 100g per square metre over the affected area. Spread no more than 1.5 metres from the bank unless using a boat for even distribution. Apply during calm weather (no wind or rain).

Most dams show results within 7–10 days & many are sealed after just one application. If the leak persists, a follow-up application may be required.

 

Why Choose Water$ave?

  • No draining required
  • DIY application, no machinery needed
  • Non-toxic & environmentally safe
  • Proven to work where bentonite has failed
  • Trusted by farmers, councils & industries across Australia
