Save Your Waterfall - Expert Rock & Water Feature Repair

Many contractors will tell you to demolish a deteriorating waterfall or rock slide. We specialize in repairing and repainting these features – often saving them from the wrecking ball at a fraction of the replacement cost. If your rocks are fading, cracking, or the waterfall is leaking, call us first.

Don’t Demolish – Restore

When your pool’s waterfall or rock feature starts looking shabby, the first instinct might be to tear it down. Many contractors will happily quote you $15,000-$30,000 for removal and replacement.

But here’s what they won’t tell you: most water features can be repaired and restored for a fraction of that cost.

We save features that other contractors condemn:

• Faded, chalky artificial rocks
• Crumbling rock formations
• Leaking waterfalls
• Discolored rock slides
• Dated-looking grottos

Common Water Feature Problems

UV Fading and Chalking

Arizona sun is brutal. Over 10-15 years, the colors in artificial rock fade, and a white, chalky appearance develops. This is cosmetic – the structure is usually fine.

Solution: Professional cleaning and repainting with UV-resistant coatings.

Cracking and Crumbling

The concrete substrate can crack from settling, temperature changes, or age. Minor cracks are easily repaired; major structural issues require more work.

Solution: Structural repair with epoxy and fiber reinforcement, then resurfacing.

Waterfall Leaks

Leaks in water features are tricky – water can travel along hidden channels and appear far from the actual leak. Finding the source requires experience.

Solution: Systematic leak detection, plumbing repair, and waterproofing.

The Restoration Process

1. Assessment

We examine your water feature from every angle, check for leaks, assess structural integrity, and identify all cosmetic issues.

2. Leak Repair

If your waterfall is losing water, we find and fix the source. This might involve plumbing repairs, shell patching, or waterproofing membrane application.

3. Structural Repair

Cracks, chips, and crumbling areas are repaired with specialized materials designed for water feature applications.

4. Repainting

This is where transformation happens. Our painters use multiple colors and techniques to recreate natural rock appearance. The results are often better than the original.

5. Sealing

A protective, UV-resistant sealer locks in the color and protects against future damage.

Types of Features We Restore

• Cascading waterfalls – Single or multi-tier
• Rock slides – Functional and decorative
• Grottos – Swim-up caves and shelters
• Spillovers – Raised spa overflow features

Real Savings, Real Results

Consider this: A typical artificial rock waterfall replacement costs $20,000-$30,000 including demo, new construction, and finishing.

Our typical restoration: $2,500-$6,000.

You save $15,000+ while keeping the unique feature that makes your pool special. Read our detailed guide: Don’t demolish your waterfall - repair options that save thousands.

When Replacement Is Necessary

We’re honest – sometimes features are beyond saving. If the structural foundation has failed completely, or if you simply want something different, replacement might be right. But let us assess before you decide.
