Think of all the dead plant matter and fish waste that collect on the bottom of a pond/lake floor. After a bit of time and decomposition, this turns into muck, which is the buildup you may step into when you enter an untreated body of water. Not to mention, this smells as awful as it looks! Ew?!
Having significant muck accumulation can snowball into a variety of other problems. Muck is full of rich, organic material that is a wonderful food source for weeds and algae. By treating muck with beneficial bacteria products, you are minimizing the food sources that are available for this growth.
We offer add-on services for extremely thick areas of muck, whether it is for your pond, lakefront property, channel, or an entire lake. Muck Doctor is an aggressive product that helps break down the decomposed material at the bottom of your lake or pond. These concentrated spikes are composed of naturally occurring bacteria that help break down and eliminate the muck by eventually transforming it into nitrogen.
Are our muck service right for you? It is most effective if there are 6 or more inches of muck and if the water temperature is at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit. If the material isn’t already in the process of decaying, Muck Doctor will not work to it’s full potential, as it cannot break down entire materials such as twigs, sticks, branches, or leaves.
Not sure about your muck levels? Our technicians can measure your muck levels and can help you determine if this is a service that may benefit your property.
Contact our office if you have further questions about any of our muck services.
