Dredging Restores the Function & Esthetics of Waterbodies
When a pond or water basin is filled with sediment, over time that turns into silt, sludge, and muck. As the sludge accumulates, the pond increasingly becomes unable to filter water, absorb runoff, or manage water levels. A variety of problems can arise.
CONTACT USBenefits of Hydraulic Dredging
At Heartland Dredging, we focus on hydraulic dredging because of its many benefits. These beneftis include:
- The ability to access ponds in congested areas. Our smaller but powerful dredges can fit in cramped business and residential areas that many mechanical dredges could not without serious damage to the surrounding area.
- You can continue with business as usual. Most businesses are able to carry on with their services while we do ours.
- There is no need to drain the waterbody, thus protecting aquatic wildlife.

Bathymetric Surveys Validate the Problem & the Solution
If you’re unsure of the extent of your sediment and sludge problem, we can schedule a bathymetric survey. Using sonar and GPS positioning, we’ll determine the amount of sediment and its location. After removing it, we’ll then do another survey to verify that we’ve fixed the problem.
