Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam Is this unreasonable to ask?

Sorry to hear that. Is there any chance that you could find a reputable builder to come back and make some other suggestions for corrective action? Perhaps the one that you did not use initially? Maybe if you got recommendations you could carve the expense out of your budget and eventually get to fix performed. I know what you mean, though, about having a leaking pond being better than none at all. One of ours will only hold water about halfway up, thanks to tree roots and muskrats. Still, it is nice having one and a half ponds!
