Artificial Rock & Waterfall Restoration Services
Specialized repair and repainting of deteriorating artificial rock waterfalls and slides—saving them from demolition.
Don’t tear out your beloved waterfall or rock features! Our specialized repair services restore deteriorating artificial rock formations, waterfalls, and slides to their former glory at a fraction of the replacement cost.
The Case for Repair
When a pool company tells you that you need to demolish and replace your waterfall, get a second opinion. We’ve saved countless water features that others said were beyond repair.
Replacement Cost: $15,000 - $30,000+ Our Repair Cost: $1,500 - $5,000
That’s potentially $20,000+ back in your pocket.
Common Problems We Fix
Cracking and Deterioration
Arizona’s extreme temperatures cause artificial rock to expand and contract. Over time, this creates cracks that allow water infiltration and further damage.
Our Solution:
- Structural crack repair
- Waterproofing application
- Surface restoration
Fading and Discoloration
Years of sun exposure fades the paint and coatings on artificial rock, making once-beautiful features look dingy and neglected.
Our Solution:
- Thorough cleaning
- Professional repainting
- UV-resistant sealers
Water Feature Malfunction
Sometimes the problem isn’t the rock itself but the plumbing behind it. Clogged or damaged water lines reduce flow and create an underwhelming effect.
Our Solution:
- Plumbing inspection and repair
- Pump assessment
- Flow optimization
Pool Slide Issues
Slides take a beating from foot traffic and UV exposure. Cracked, rough, or faded slides are both unattractive and potentially dangerous.
Our Solution:
- Surface smoothing
- Crack repair
- Fresh coating application
Our Restoration Process
1. Assessment
We thoroughly inspect your water feature, identifying all damage and creating a repair plan. You’ll get an honest assessment of what needs fixing and what can wait.
2. Structural Repairs
Any cracks or structural issues are addressed first. We use construction-grade materials designed for pool environments.
3. Surface Preparation
The entire feature is cleaned and prepped for coating. This ensures maximum adhesion and longevity.
4. Waterproofing
A waterproof membrane is applied to prevent future water infiltration—the primary cause of rock deterioration.
5. Color Matching & Painting
We match your existing color scheme or update to a fresh look. Multiple coats ensure durability.
6. Sealing
A UV-resistant sealer protects your restored feature from Arizona’s intense sun.
Maintenance Tips
After restoration, protect your investment:
- Annual inspection for new cracks
- Reseal every 3-5 years
- Keep vegetation trimmed away from feature
- Maintain proper water chemistry to prevent scaling
- Address small issues early before they grow
Our Repair-First Philosophy
We believe in fixing what can be fixed. Demolishing a water feature that can be repaired is wasteful—of your money and of perfectly good materials. Our goal is to restore your feature to great condition at a fair price, not to sell you the most expensive option.

Waterfall Repair Questions
Common questions about our service.
Is it better to repair or replace my waterfall?
In most cases, repair is far more cost-effective. A typical waterfall repair costs $1,500-$5,000, while replacement can run $15,000-$30,000+. Our repair-first approach saves you thousands while restoring your feature to like-new condition.
How long do waterfall repairs last?
A properly repaired and sealed waterfall should last 8-15 years before needing attention again. Regular sealing every 3-5 years extends lifespan further.
Can you change the color of my rocks?
Yes! Repainting is often part of the restoration process. We can match the original colors or update to a new color scheme that better fits your current design.
