Start with an On-Site Assessment

Before we begin any repair work, we’ll start with a thorough, in-person evaluation of your water feature. For systems that may not need a full rebuild, this step allows us to assess the existing setup, identify the source of any issues, and determine if a targeted repair is the right path forward.

It’s the most reliable way to ensure our recommendations are accurate—and that any work we perform is done right the first time and built to last in the Rhode Island climate.

Repair Terms & Expectations
All repair services begin with a full assessment and are billed based on the scope of work needed. While we do our best to restore function, long-term success depends on the integrity of the original design and construction. If we uncover structural issues or hidden damage, additional repairs—or a full rebuild—may be necessary to achieve lasting results.

We’ll always walk you through our recommendations and get your approval before moving forward. Natural Elements by Design is not responsible for problems caused by previous improper installation or concealed system flaws.
