Follow up on Pond Leak
Several years ago I obtained a pond when I purchased our present house.
It had what I considered significant leaks. After several post to this group asking about ideas to find leaks and many hours over the period, I believe I have finally found the source of my main leak. To find this leak I have stop the pond pump and watched the level of the three pools, to determine which pool had the leak and the approximate level of the leak. I found that the best caulking for leaks was roofing asphalt. Over the last few years I realized that the most significant drops in the pond level were random. My first clue to the source of the random leak was found when our cat was making strange noises at the family room door to the deck where the pond is located. When we turn on the deck light, there was a family of raccoons "talking" to the cat. When they saw us they immediately went into the begging position, sitting on their rumps with the palms on the front legs extended. Then I realized there were wet paw prints on the deck when the level drop, I realized the the source of the "leak" was the pool party that the raccoons having on "nice" evening. (I have not determined what a nice evening is to a raccoon) Since this female raccoon has now raised several families in our yard, I suspect that I will have to learn to live with the leak. |
