Have an issue with my pond dam and looking for some expert advice. Yesterday after the heavy rains recently here in southern illinois I found a large void on the back side of my dam. I have a pic I can send if someone thinks they may have a solution.
Looks like a part of the back of the dam eroded away over night. I have looked carefully and there is no water leaking out of the area at this point but I obviously want to get right on it once I can get out there and work.
Here is my question: has anyone experienced the same and what is the best method to repair this? I do need to let you know the back of the dam is pretty steep and doesnt have the grade it should.
I was thinking of installing a makeshift wall (vertical 4x4s with horizontal 4x4s in front of them) and then filling in the void.
Really appreciate any help/guidance on this. Thanks.
