Finding & Fixing a Leak in an Antique Stone Fountain

3 gal/day leak? Isolate: fill all basins, mark levels, shut off pump, wait 1–2 days. Level drop = leak location. If none drop, leak is in plumbing/splash. Porous stone absorbs water—evaporates invisibly. Fix: deep clean, dry 1 week, seal all surfaces with immersion-rated penetrating masonry sealer. Test sealer on hidden spot (darkens stone). Plumber's putty between joints. Pressure-test plumbing with capped valve.

Fountains are high-maintenance. Patience required.
