Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a dam cost to build?

Prices vary widely depending on site conditions, size, and soil type. We’ll provide a realistic estimate upfront, and often come in under.

Do you handle everything?

Yes. From dewatering and cleaning, to excavation, compaction, and sealing, we manage the full process with our own equipment.

Why do so many dams leak?

Most leaks are caused by shortcuts: no keyway, wrong soil mix, or failure to strip and compact properly. We fix these mistakes and ensure your dam is watertight.

Can you repair an old dam?

Yes. Many of our jobs involve repairing or rebuilding old or poorly constructed dams.

Do you work with different soil types?

Absolutely. Every region has unique conditions, and we adapt our construction method accordingly to ensure the dam holds water for the long term.
