Waterbed Repair

Is your waterbed leaking? This is a waterbed owner's nightmare. It is important to find the leak as fast as possible to prevent damage to your home.

Finding the leak means to resist the temptation to drain the water from the bed immediately. It is normally easier to locate the leak and repair the vinyl with the mattress full of water. So, no panic at this point. Begin troubleshooting the problem by towelling dry any water between the mattress and the liner - water will go under the mattress if you pull it up but will be squeezed back when you lay the mattress flat (because the spilled water is firmly trapped between the side of the mattress and the liner there often appears to be more water than there really is).

It is almost completely unknown for a leak to be underneath the waterbed mattress. Thoroughly check the sides, comers and top of the vinyl mattress. If you are having difficulty locating the leak apply pressure to the vinyl by kneeling on the mattress. If necessary, use an absorbent tissue to help locate the water coming from the mattress.
