When we fired up the waterfall a few weeks ago, we noticed that we were losing water. So we turned it off and tried to figure out what the problem was. We thought there might be a leak in the pipe that brings the water to the top of the falls. Jake, our pond guy stopped by one night to take a look and did a bit of digging near the pipe. Next morning, I found that the area near the top of the falls was very wet. Did some more digging and found a mouse had chewed a hole in the liner. You can see the exposed liner in the top photo. I patched the hole and it is holding water. Next fall, I think I will shove some fabric softener sheets in between some of the rocks to keep the mice out.
