A slow leak in your dam might not seem like a big deal until the consequences start stacking up. Many landowners delay repairs, hoping the problem will sort itself out or assuming the water loss is minimal. But the truth is, even a small leak can quietly drain away thousands of litres, along with your time, money & productivity. If your dam supports livestock, irrigates crops or stores water for seasonal operations, every drop matters. When that water disappears, the hidden cost becomes clear.
What You're Really Losing
Water loss isn’t always dramatic. A steady leak of 150mm per week may sound manageable, but across an average-sized dam, this can translate into tens of thousands of litres per day. Over a few weeks, you're looking at hundreds of thousands of litres gone; water you’ll likely need to replace.
Refilling a dam takes time, fuel & labour. Whether you’re pumping from a bore, creek or water cart, it puts pressure on your resources. If your water loss catches you during the dry season, it could disrupt grazing, stall irrigation schedules or leave your stock without water access.
The consequences ripple across your operation. Grazing rotations get delayed. Crops dry out. Feed demand rises. Even pasture recovery slows without reliable water on-hand. What starts as a trickle becomes a costly disruption & the longer you wait, the more it adds up.
A Simple, DIY Solution
Now consider the alternative. A single 12kg or 18kg pail of Water$ave Dam Sealer can be applied in under an hour; no draining, no machinery & no contractors required.
Water$ave Dam Sealers are dry polymers broadcast across the dam surface. As they settle, they are pulled into cracks, tunnels or porous soil zones where water is escaping. There, they swell into a soft, flexible plug that seals leaks from within. It’s an easy, proven way to stop water loss fast.
With over two decades of use in Australian conditions, Water$ave Dam Sealers Plug & Seep are trusted by farmers, councils & contractors alike. These products work across a wide range of soil types & dam structures. They're safe for livestock & the environment when used as directed.
Even if a second application is needed, it’s still far more cost-effective than pumping replacement water or investing in expensive repairs after the damage worsens.
The Value Adds Up
What makes Water$ave Dam Sealers stand out is its return on investment. The cost of a pail is minor compared to the value of the water it helps you retain, not just in volume, but in operational flexibility.
When your dam holds steady, you can rotate stock with confidence, irrigate when needed & rely on your infrastructure without guesswork. You're not constantly topping up, chasing rain or second-guessing if your water will last the season. A sealed dam saves you more than water; it saves time, reduces stress & protects the productivity of your land.
Don’t Let a Leak Keep Costing You
Ignoring a slow leak can cost far more in the long run than sealing it early. With Water$ave Dam Sealers, the fix is within reach, fast, simple & proven.
