Skimmer boxes and biofalls that leak, overflow or clog, repaired or replaced so debris gets caught and water moves again.
A skimmer does the daily work of catching leaves and debris. A biofalls does the same job at the top of the waterfall, adding biological filtration. When either fails, you notice quickly, with floating debris, leaks around the edge or a pump that runs dry.
We repair or replace skimmers and biofalls, resetting the boxes at the right level, resealing the liner connections, fixing cracks and replacing worn weirs, doors and baskets. We also adjust the plumbing so the skimmer pulls steadily without being starved or overflowing. Once the repair is done, we run the system for a while, watch the level at the weir and check the lid, the basket and the connection to the pump so you know it is working before we leave.
A skimmer set too high or too low skims poorly. A liner that is not sealed to the box can leak. We reset both so it works as it should.
Debris, string algae and air in the line cut flow. We clean, flush and rework the plumbing so the pump gets steady water.
Older units may be too small for the pond. We can replace them with larger skimmers that catch more and need cleaning less often.
Skimmers can freeze and crack if water sits in them. We advise how to protect them in cold weather.

A clogged basket, a pump set too high or a blocked line can cause it. We find which and fix it.
Often yes, by replacing the faceplate gasket and resealing the liner connection.
Weekly in summer and daily during leaf drop is a good rule.
Yes. Larger ponds benefit from a second skimmer to catch more debris.
Yes. Keeping it running or protected helps prevent damage.
