Okay have a leak on both sides of the back of my dam near the bottom. Yes, the contractor put in a core trench and finished last summer. He was very proud of his work, but the ponds water is now not so proud and working right through it.
Right now I have a running dribble (5 gal min est) at the bottom, about 15 feet up the back of the dam and it is getting worse with a large wet area. If I ignore it will get bigger and I guess I could loose my pond, my dream � not to mention the money invested.
Read about a lot here in past posts of different ideas to fix, but what about just lining the front side of the dam with plastic and placing rip rap on top by hand? Don�t know how I can get it down deep unless I weight it down with rocks or hold my breath and dive down with rocks? I am just plum out of money and ready to jump off my dam!
I was thinking about 6 mil plastic in the largest sheets I could find, but I�m having a hard time finding it in large sheets. Any ideas? Is there any type of adhesive you can use to put the plastic sheets together?
I have so much invested in this I can�t begin to explain my frustration.
