Concrete Waterfall Washout
Looking for advice on how to properly repair an irrigation pond washout / erosion issue.
We recently bought a property that has an irrigation pond with an older concrete overflow or spillway system. The pond is currently much lower than recent, and I’m trying to figure out whether this is seasonal, a drainage issue, or a failed pond edge / washout problem.
There's a concrete overflow structure, but water is cutting underneath it instead of flowing over it. The soil around it has eroded away and there’s now a channel washing out under the slab/ledge.
- Does this look like a failed design?
- Can this be repaired DIY?
- Any risk of making things worse by trying to fill the void?
- What type of contractor would normally handle something like this? I haven't had much luck -
I believe the pond is spring-fed or naturally wet year-round, so I’m hesitant to just dump dirt into it without understanding how water is supposed to move through here.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
