Large Pond & Lake Management

Farm Pond & Lake Service

Farm Pond & Lake management in the Hamden, New Haven County, Central CT area can be confusing. Often stories are heard about how Home Owner Association & private farm pond owners are searching for a solution to their unhealthy ponds, that are filled with algae, or annoying unsightly duckweed.

Various products can be purchased online for consumers to just "Dump or pour" in their ponds as a quick fix, try at your own risk without killing your fish.

Retention/Detention Ponds

Are you a Connecticut (CT) homeowner with a storm-water pond on it? Maybe you are an H.O.A Manager with a problematic detention/retention basin to take care of? Do you need help maintaining your problem child, or have questions on how to do this? Proper pond maintenance is very critical and helps in the prevention of many problems that may arise from having a poorly maintained storm-water pond. Wildlife habitat destruction causes, in some cases, flooding and erosion in unplanned locations. These are issues that may occur due to a lack of maintenance. Often times this damage cannot be reversed, especially if natural bodies of water are present in close proximity.

Some maintenance services provided by TJB Inc., such as sediment removal or checking on the stability of the outlet pipe, bring to light the need for regularly scheduled pond maintenance. Sediment builds up in a pond over time and needs to be removed to ensure the pond has enough storage capacity for stormwater and to control and limit the amount of sediment that gets stirred up during rain events. The overflow or outlet in a pond is installed to meet certain controlled discharge volumes of water. Erosion and vegetation growth around the outlet or breakdown of the overflow pipe structure needs immediate repair to allow the pond to release water at the designated rate. Failure to do so in a timely manner will most likely lead to major structural damage and in turn, need a major overhaul.
