Seepage Control Inc. - Sealing Lakes and Ponds with ESS-13

ESS-13 is pumped or poured directly into the water at a pre-determined application rate. The seepage in your pond will decrease 60% to 90% initially, and this original rate will continue to improve with time.

The ESS-13 “Spray-On Formulation” can save 75% or more off the installation costs of other lake sealing methods.

ESS-13 is pre-mixed with our E-13 compaction aid, pumped in pre-measured quantities into the soil with conventional earth moving equipment. The treated soil is then compacted in two consecutive six inch layers.

Waterborne Method


Edgewood Country Club PondEdgewood Country Club
Commerce Twp., Michigan

On June 17, 1996 Edgewood Country Club treated one pond with 5 drums of ESS-13 as supplied by Seepage Control, Inc. Before the treatment, the pond was losing 6” of water per day. So far the ESS-13 has reduced that level to 1” loss per day.

As is evident by the readings, the seepage rate decreased 84% after the treatment of ESS-13. Clearly the ESS-13 worked within the advertised range of 60-90%.

UDC Homes LakeUDC Homes
San Jose, California

I am writing to commend you and your product in regards to the successful soil sealant of our lake bottoms. I consider the lake bottoms completely leak free with no evidence of loss of water.

As you might remember, there was one lake that I questioned to be losing water, that was in fact losing 0.75 inches a day. After dispensing the ESS-13 into that lake and to present date there is no sign of seepage into the surrounding soil. In fact, during the process of installing sprinkler systems we have trenched within 2 feet of the lake’s edge (directly behind the concrete collar) at a depth of 28 inches and found completely dry soil.

I feel that your system has provided UDC Homes with a durable, maintenance free lake bottom at a considerable savings over other possible systems.

Sun City Development
Sun City, AZ – 33 acres

This Sun City development, built in the 1960’s, is a well established neighborhood surrounding a large lake.  The lake was originally lined with PVC.  In 2005 it was determined by the Arizona Department of Water Resources that the lake was seeping approximately 129 million gallons over the course of the year.  The city needed to reduce their loss rate by at least 50% in order to meet their water allotment.  The establishment of the community made it impractical to empty the lake and reconstruct the lake liner.  In January 2006 Seepage Control, Inc. used tanker trucks to pump about 47,000 gallons of ESS-13 into approximately 85,000,000 gallons of water in the 33-acre lake . The treatment successfully reduced the water loss by 60% and brought the lake into compliance with the Arizona Department of Water Resources requirements. 

The community at Sun City benefitted from the use of ESS-13 by not only reducing their current seepage losses, but also their remediation costs by simply adding the product directly into the full lake.
