I'm a pond contractor of 30 years experience. In 2024 I used the seek leak from TJ on 2 ponds. Both had never held more than a foot of water for 20 plus years. Both are sealed and over flowing for the first time ever.
WOW! What a testament! Thank you for sharing. Your clients have to be thrilled! I know I’m thrilled with my results….but only have one pond. I’m encouraged that others have seen similar results! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience with everyone! Blessings!
Thank you for this video. I was getting ready to order Soilfloc. Was very kind of you to take the time to share this especially in this economy. God bless you and your family. Marc Golden, Liberty,Ms
You bet Marc. Thanks for the comment, and for watching. I put TJ’s contact info in the description. Let me know if I can help connect you. Sorry you’re dealing with a leak. Blessings to you! Let me know how it goes…I have a few other videos of how we’ve applied it in our pond.
Hi Mark - hope all is well down your way and you're dodging those hurricanes. Reach out when time allows and let me know how our project went. Blessings - TJ.
@SeekLeak Worked like a charm TJ. We are in a drought and I'm down 18". Which is great. If I had to guess. I'd say I cut the leak by 75%. And still have a 3rd of the product left. Grateful to you and we've been blessed with no Hurricane activity. But I could use a week of rain. God bless you and yours. Marc Golden
Been working with TJ for a couple of weeks now to build a plan for my ponds. He is super helpful. He is not out to sell you anything and truly wants to help you find the most cost effective solution. Definitely contact him if you are having issues with your pond.
That’s great! Glad you got in touch. Totally agree that TJ is as genuine as they come, and not out to sell you anything, but rather find the most cost effective solution for your pond! Hoping you see the results on your ponds that we’ve had.
Thanks for your honest feedback - here to help any and everyone with pond construction, rehab, or leak abatement issues. My time is always free and you're right - we're not here to sell anything - my mission is to continually expand the universe of leak abatement science one pond at a time and resolve leak issues as effectively and efficiently as possible! Happy to help however I can. TJ
You bet…thanks for watching. Unfortunately we’re both dealing with leaks. But we’re learning. And I’ve seen some good results on our pond since we’ve applied the seekleak. I wish you well on your pond. Let me know if I can help.
@bis9224 tj@hudlandmgmt.com and I also share his contact info in this follow up video POND LEAKING? One Year Later Case Study...Seeing is Believing! Seekleak pond & dam sealing solution ua-cam.com/video/2XFsCVMRXrU/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching. You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful. I wish I didn’t need to know this much about polymers….but our pond project has been a learning process. We’ve made significant progress this year with the seekleak, and it’s allowed us not to have to drain the pond and start over. Hope you’re not in the same boat, but if I can help at all, let me know.
That’s great to hear! Glad you got connected with TJ. I’m sure you’ve got some homework to get some data on your leak rate. I’ve learned a lot from our discussions. Hope you get a good strategy for your situation and get your pond sealed up. Stop back and let me know how you progress along.
Thank you for this test and your analysis of these two products. I've already purchased the Damit and we will pray it fixes our pond leak. Do you know if the air temperature or, water temperature will affect applications effectiveness?
You’re welcome. I did the same thing too. I bought Damit first. It may work….it all depends on how large the leak is, and if it hits the mark. For is, our leak was so large, that the lesser expansion of the Damit didn’t seem to effect it. I know others that have had some success with it. Hope you’re in that camp. As for temperature, I don’t know for sure if it affects the expansion of the polymer a lot. But I would plan to apply it before water temps drop below 50 degrees. Warmer is better in general I would think. That being said, I might try an application through the ice this winter just to test it directly over where I know we have leaked in the past.
Good question. I’m not entirely sure. In my test, when I cleaned out the glass jars, it was firm, but still jelly-like. But, my substrate in the test was sand. The polymer is designed to chemically adhere to clay. So when you put it in a pond with a clay bottom, I believe it will become more solid when it bonds to clay. As I continue to watch our application in our pond bottom and how the polymer ages mixed with the clay bottom, I’ll have a better idea. Thanks for watching and for the question. I’ll try to provide an update as I am able to confirm your question with more time and info.
Happy to help…thanks for watching. Sorry you’re dealing with a leak. If I can assist, let me know. I had an extreme case, but was able to stop it with TJ’s help. Let me know how it goes!
Can you use this whether or not you have a liner in your pond. Also, do you sprinkle it over the entire pond or where you suspect there is a leak. Thank you
This is meant for use in clay ponds without a plastic liner. It could conceivably work in a plastic lined pond, but I don’t know. The polymer is designed to bond with clay particles. It’s best to start in the area that you suspect the leak to be. You don’t want to have to treat the entire pond if you don’t have to. I would start where you suspect it, and then wait and take daily measurements to track the leak rate progress. Most common areas are along the dam, at the overflow pipe if it was cut through the dam, and the your deepest basin in the pond. Your deepest part is obviously under the most pressure from the water, and that pressure finds the weak spots and once water starts running, it erodes and creates bigger holes. Where do you suspect yours is leaking? Ours was in the deepest part.
@@newnatureadventures A large part of sand disappeared into the pond from water coming down the hill and I see a paper like substance on the bottom in that area. The area is around 4 feet wide and I'm thinking about treating it with what you used. Thank you for your video and your reply as it has been very informative.
Was that sand area intended to be a beach? If so, I would suspect that paper-like material you see is a landscape fabric to go under the sand to try and prevent weeds from growing up in the sand. We opted not for a beach because we feared that the sand would just get washed into the pond deeper. I would not suspect your leak to be from under that area if in fact it was a beach in that area. Maybe I’m not picturing this properly though. Do you know how much water you’re losing each day? Happy to help! And thanks for watching!
@@newnatureadventures I didn't put the pond in but I must agree with you about the sand. Maybe my leak is from the drought. That's what I'm hoping. When the pond fills up, in about a week I lose a few inches and then it stops.
Hi….thanks for watching….you can get it wholesale through TJ Hudson. Send him an email and let him know I sent you. tj@hudlandmgmt.com is how you can reach him. Let me know if I can help in any way.
I have tried everything to get info on hudland management, can't find anything and phone #on his info disconnected, do you know how to contact? Or did they sell out to soil floc?
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Email TJ Hudson at tj@hudlandmgmt.com and tell him Johnse sent you from the polymer video. Sorry you’re dealing with a leak. Let me know how you progress along, and if I can help in any way.
Sorry for the hassle. Seekleak is available exclusively through TJ Hudson. You can email him at tj@hudlandmgmt.com or by phone at 402-730-4897.

All of our phone calls and pond strategy consults have been graciously gifted. And on too of that, seekleak worked for us and reduced our leak by at least 90%.
I’m sorry to hear that. I used the Damit first, and saw no improvement. The soilfloc/seekleak made all the difference for us. We were losing 4” daily, and now through seekleak applications, we’ve reduced it by 85%. I can’t speak to your experience, but that hasn’t been our experience with the product. Hope you’ve been able to find a solution.
