Whether you’re running livestock, irrigating pasture or simply maintaining a rural property, a leaking dam is more than just an inconvenience, it’s lost water, time & productivity. Many farm owners, from small hobby farms to large-scale grazing operations, experience dam water loss & aren’t sure where to start. The good news is, you don’t need to drain your dam or bring in heavy equipment. With the right product, you can seal your leaking dam easily, affordably & without disrupting your daily operations.
Common Signs of a Leaking Dam
You might suspect your dam is leaking if:
- The water level drops faster than expected, even without usage or hot weather
- The ground below the wall (the toe) stays wet or boggy
- You spot cracks, animal burrows or unusual weed growth around the dam’s edges
- The dam doesn’t hold water well after rainfall
If you’ve noticed any of these, it’s time to act before water loss becomes more serious or more expensive.
Why Water$ave Dam Sealers Is Trusted by Australian Farm Owners
Polymer Innovations developed their Water$ave Dam Sealers, Plug & Seep for Australian conditions, offering farmers a fast, non-toxic & easy-to-use solution for dam leaks.
- Water$ave Plug is ideal for coarse soils, fast & base leaks
- Water$ave Seep is suited to finer soils, wall seepage & slow leaks
Both are surface-applied polymers that are drawn into the leak zones, swell on contact with water to create a flexible plug that seals the dam from the inside, no draining, no machinery, no mess.
Quick, DIY Application, Even on Small Farms
Water$ave Dam Sealers are ideal for rural landholders who prefer to do the job themselves. Whether you’ve got a 5-acre block with a stock dam or a 500-head cattle property, the process is the same:
- Inspect your dam & locate the suspected leak area
- Clear the surface of debris if needed
- Broadcast the product directly over the water by hand or spreader
- Let the water pressure draw the polymer into the leak zones
- Monitor results. Most dams show improvement in 7–10 days
No need for a contractor. No specialist tools. Just gravity, time & proven polymer technology.
