Our Complete Fountain Service Package
Fountain installation — We handle the full setup from the ground up: preparing a level, solid foundation, installing the fountain and its reservoir, running the pump, plumbing, and electrical, and leveling everything so the water flows evenly. We test the finished fountain and dial in the flow before we leave.
Fountain maintenance — We fully drain and clean the fountain, descale the surfaces, and service the equipment — pumps, lights, timers, and auto-fills — so everything runs its best. We also add the right treatments to keep the water clear and prevent algae and bacteria year-round. For your convenience, we offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly service.
Fountain repair — When something stops working, we track down the cause and fix it: pump and motor replacement, underwater and outdoor spot lighting, leaks, weak or uneven water flow, and fountains that have gone out of level. We diagnose the real problem rather than guessing, so the repair lasts.
Fountain restoration — For fountains worn down by years of use, we strip away the calcification — the hard-water scale and mineral deposits — clean the surfaces, and refinish them with a fresh stain or paint and a waterproof seal, bringing the whole fountain back to life.
Fountain lighting — We install underwater and outdoor spot lighting to give your fountain a finishing touch and turn it into a focal point after dark, wired safely and cleanly for years of use.
Fountain timers and controls — We add timers and controls that turn your fountain and its lights on and off automatically on a set schedule, so it's running when you want it and off when you don't, with no daily effort required.
Fountain auto-fill — We install automatic fill systems that top off the water as it evaporates, so you never have to drag out a hose — and your pump never runs dry.

Understanding Fountain Buildup & Maintenance Needs
We provide professional fountain cleaning for homeowners and businesses across the Chattanooga area. Over time, every fountain collects white scale, calcium, and algae — and that buildup does more than dull the look. It blocks water flow and wears out the pump. Regular cleaning keeps your fountain running the way it should and protects it as the investment it is. Because fountains are built from many different materials — cast concrete, natural stone, tile, fiberglass, and metal — the right cleaning approach depends on what yours is made of, and using the wrong product can do more harm than the buildup itself. Below is what causes fountain buildup, how to spot it, and how we clean it.
A fountain recirculates a small amount of water that constantly evaporates, which is exactly why buildup forms faster than most people expect.
The main causes to be aware of:
Hard water and mineral scale: Most tap water carries calcium and lime. As the water evaporates, those minerals stay behind as a chalky white crust — the single most common fountain problem, and one that's normal in areas with hard water like in Chattanooga.
Constant evaporation: Because a fountain reuses the same water, minerals concentrate over time. Outdoor fountains lose water even faster in heat and sun, which speeds up scale on spillways, basin edges, and the waterline.
Algae growth: Warm weather and standing water encourage green and black algae in any fountain. Beyond the appearance, algae clogs the pump and can burn it out. Debris: Leaves, dirt, and pollen collect in the basin, feed algae, and work their way into the pump and lines.
Temperature swings: Hot summers accelerate evaporation and algae, while winter freezes can crack a fountain that hasn't been properly cleaned and shut down for the season.
Your fountain is meant to be the focal point of your yard or entrance — but cloudy, scale-covered water turns a centerpiece into an eyesore fast. Our goal is simple: to take fountain upkeep off your hands so you spend less time worrying about your fountain and more time enjoying it. At Chattanooga Fountain Repair and Installation, we offer complete fountain service — everything from the first install to ongoing care, repairs, and full restoration — for homes and businesses across the Chattanooga area. Sit back, relax, and let us handle all of it.
Our Fountain Cleaning Process
We clean the whole system — surfaces and pump — not just the parts you can see: Power down and drain: We turn off and unplug the pump, then fully drain the basin and remove any standing water so every surface can be reached. Pump service: We remove the pump, open it up, and clear scale and debris from the impeller and intake, then flush the tubing. This is where most buildup collects and where neglected fountains fail, so it's a core part of every cleaning. Descaling: We apply a cleaner matched to your fountain's material to break down calcium and lime, let it dwell, and scrub the deposits away with non-abrasive tools that won't scratch or etch the surface. Parts and details: Nozzles, filters, and decorative stones come out and get cleaned separately so nothing stays clogged. Rinse and refill: We rinse every surface to remove cleaning residue, then refill the fountain and can add a scale-and-algae preventer to slow future buildup.
We Install all Fountain Types
If you're adding a new fountain, we handle design and installation from start to finish. We'll help you choose a style and size that fits your space, select materials that hold up to the local climate, and spec the pump, lighting, and features to match how you want to use it. The result is a fountain built to look right in its setting and run reliably for years.
