Hey Guys,


Gotta ask a question here-> If I wanted to attempt to work on this myself (i know I know big oopsiedoodle incoming)

How do I empty the pond so I can inspect the liner and underneath it? I know a trash pump can do it but where doI send all that WATER?

That's the part I guess hiring a pro comes in.The best I can think to do is to build a 'dam' from the main creek and the water runoff 'creek' out of sandbags that is really high/thick.Then build the runoff 'creek' dam higher and pump the water into that until its low enough for me to get in and look at the liner.

That seems to me like it would take a week of filling sandbags (and maybe a hernia)


The pond is on 7.5 acres and is basically in a 'bulge' so its got 3 sides of property that isn't mine after ~ 25-100 ft

Do I just wait for a dry spell and pump it up my property through 200-300' of tubing and X my fingers?


Note- there is no 'sewer' I could drain it into.


Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
