Our Water Quality Management Services
BioAugmentation
One of our tools to restore balance to ponds and lakes is bioaugmentation. In order to remove unwanted sludge and nutrients, we add beneficial bacteria, probiotics, enzymes, cultures, and/or micronutrients to the water. Depending on the results of our water analysis, we apply a customized solution to the body of water to address the specific issues present.
Nutrient management
Nutrient control is essential to a well balanced pond or lake ecosystem. Water with excessive nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen can often lead to algae and plant overgrowth. Through careful nutrient balancing we will work diligently to restore balance to the body of water.
Water analysis
The foundation of any successful water treatment begins with a thorough analysis. Our water management program includes lab analysis of essential water health indicators. Our routine water testing schedule is tailored to your water body type, location, climate and other factors unique to your lake or pond.
muck and SEDIMENT reduction
As lakes and ponds age, they start to accumulate sediment from leaves, branches, aquatic plants, animal waste and other materials. When these materials decay, they utilize the oxygen in the water. A sulfur or rotten egg smell, usually indicates that the water is lacking in oxygen. An effective element of remedying this issue is manual removing the excess muck and sediment present at the bottom of the pond.
