    You should put a flag stake at all of the spots you seeking signs of leakage too. This will also help in monitoring improvement and also will show if any new spots show up. I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks

    Good luck Adam!! You have cured me from ever wanting a pond!!😂😂🤣
  • After watching you get covered in dust, i’m pretty sure you could think a happy thought and fly to Neverland.

    With the spring flowing it should start filling now.
  • I've got an old pond that is not leaking, but in Texas with no rain, the water evaporates quickly. Was down almost 3 feet from early last summer, but with one good rain, it's back up 18 inches. I've got fish in the pond, so was very worried I would lose them if we didn't get some rain. Feeling much better now, but still need another 18 inches before summer. Best of luck with the snot!

    My GrandPappy didn't say much, but often said "Do it right or do it twice". I am not a pond builder and I am not a construction worker. All my 'pond building knowledge' and I use that phrase lightly comes from watching Chris on LetsDig18. I came to your channel only recently and saw a bit on your pond dam construction and several times thought 'That's not what Chris would do'. Now you are trying to fix a problem that should not have occurred and you found a 'cure' that someone else had luck with. Rather than use that product you found a cheaper easier to use product. I hope it works. I would be reluctant to allow my kids in a pond in which 15 gallons of slimy gunk was spread. Again, I hope it works, but if not you may have to tear down the whole dam and do it right. Don't try to fix sections because you will never get them all, the work is harder to do in sections, and the result will not be as good. What is downstream if the dam fails? At times like this I remember GrandPappy saying "Hey kid, grab me another Pabst.
  • Good luck Adam, following closely as I have a pond underway. two thumbs up.

    Well dam! 😳 I'm glad there is an alternate solution to fixing the dam pond 😏😉😎👍

    Great product Adam! I am glad you got a little on the shore. When it rains hopefully it will wash it to where it needs to go. Great job! All the best to you & yours!
  • @clamp99
    I hope that fixes your leak! The pond looks great!

    Interesting, so what I am hearing is before the finish add some type of sealant to start with to prevent this from happening at the start and for peace of mind on the finial construction of the pound. Still recommend a wind powered aeration system.

    Adam I love your videos man. We are going to be building a pond in a few months. Seeing everything you are doing helps me plan. Not everything works out perfect, but you do a great job of not letting things get the best of you and finding a solution. As we embark on our pond build I appreciate you taking time on the not so perfect things, because this could also happen to us. Keep up the content man, I’m so glad I found your channel. I also love Doug. He seems to have a ton of knowledge and a great attitude. You are a great combo!
  • I can see why you wouldn’t want to wash up in the sink.😉 Really pulling for the ‘DamIt’ to work!

    15 to 20 years ago we used something like that in a sacks. It was a greenish color. The Sportsman club pond is still doing good.
  • So sorry for your issues all the time and money invested. We will be praying that that products works for you.
  • Hope that turns out to be a good solution. Thanks for another good video.

    We had a leak in our pond and was going to try this same product. At one point in August, we lost 20 inches of water in our new pond. I was able to pump water from another near by pond to keep the freshly compacted dirt wet, after weeks of pumping, every chance I had, it started holding water! We were very upset to say the least when the pond was almost full then started draining so I understand what you're going through, I hope this works and you never need to look back on leak problems!
