Pond Cleaning Service
If you've left your pond for a number of years without performing any maintenance, it's very likely that the pond's bottom is full of waste. Often ponds are surrounded by trees which in conjunction with plants, fish excrement, excess fish food & general decomposition, will form a sludgy waste often refereed to as sludge or silt. If when you disturb the ponds bottom you notice a lot of debris floating about it's probably a good time to start thinking about cleaning it before things accumulate and become a bigger problem down the line. I provide pond cleaning services near Norfolk so if you need a pond cleaner get in touch!
By regularly removing the waste in your pond it will stop things becoming unmanageable. In smaller ponds this can usually be controlled with nets and a pond vacuum without needing to drain the water down if done regularly but In larger ponds & lakes this isn't plausible. In this situation certain treatments can be used to help remove the waste by stimulating the bacteria responsible for breaking down the organic matter.

All ponds are different and each one requires a different approach when it comes to cleaning & maintenance. You may have various problems ranging from an excess of duckweed & blanket weed to the colour of your water turning green or brown. Regardless of the issue we try to diagnose what's causing this to happen and rectify it so the issue doesn't return a week or two down the line. This could be as simple as changing an old UV bulb or giving the filter a clean so it has the chance to work again.
To deep clean your pond we use professional holding tanks for any fish and inhabitants you may have. We remove all of the built up silt from the bottom and carefully clean the walls and floor of the pond. The waste will need to be placed in the surrounding garden on flowerbeds and hedgerows where it provides great nutrition.

Some of the water may need to be replaced but we keep as much of the established water as possible to avoid any sudden changes. When we add fresh tap water it's filtered using a chlorine filter but this water can still take anywhere up to a couple of months to stabilize again. For smaller ponds this will happen a lot quicker and once stable you are able to enjoy the benefits for years with regular maintenance.
