There are few different methods Seepage Control, Inc. uses to construct liners for their lakes and ponds. We will go over the two distinctly different ones on this site.

Seepage Control, Inc. has the unique ability to construct a liner when the lake is full or partially full. No other lining method can accomplish this task. We call this our Waterborne method. This method involves using our proprietary chemical ESS-13 and mixing it into the water that is present in the lake. Over the next couple of weeks as the water leaks through the current liner the ESS-13 is pulled into the voids and seals them. We have had tremendous success repairing lakes and ponds that have failed from other lining methods.

The second method that we will discuss is the Treated and Compacted method. This involves the construction of the lake or pond liner from the very beginning. The soil is prepared by spraying the ESS-13 onto the soil with a water truck then mixing it into the soil with a tractor and rome disc. Once the soil is sufficiently mixed the compactor is brought in to compact the soil. The liner is generally built in 6" stages or "lifts". Most lakes will require at least 2-3 lifts. Any areas where there are protrusion in the lake bed have to be compacted with a jumping jack hand compactor.
