WHAT DOES YOUR DAM NEED?
Farm dam services
A clean-out and a leak repair are different jobs. Choose the concern that best describes your property.
Dam repair assessment
Enquiries about leakage, damaged banks or spillways. An assessment is needed to understand the cause and whether repair is suitable.
Discuss a repairSite & access assessment
Tell us what has changed: less storage, persistent water loss or difficult access. You do not need technical measurements to start.
Describe the problemFROM QUESTION TO CLEAR SCOPE
From enquiry
to site assessment.
Before machinery or a price is discussed, the project needs to make sense for the property and the contractor.
- Tell us about your damShare the location, problem and timing. Approximate details are fine.
- Check availability & suitabilityCoverage and a suitable contractor are confirmed. Any proposed referral is explained first.
- Agree the next stepIf a contractor is available and you approve the referral, discuss site assessment and a written scope directly with them.
BEFORE YOU ASK “HOW MUCH?”
The site sets the price.
There is no useful one-size price for a farm dam clean-out. A quote needs to account for the work and how it can be done.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Can a dam be cleaned while it still has water?
The approach depends on water level, sediment, access and available equipment. Describe the current conditions; a contractor must assess the practical options.
Will a clean-out fix a leaking dam?
Not necessarily. Sediment removal and leak repair are different scopes. The cause of water loss needs assessment before a repair can be recommended.
Do I need exact measurements?
No. Approximate dimensions or “not sure” are enough to start. Detailed measurements can follow during assessment.
Do you service my property?
This enquiry service focuses on the Tamworth rural catchment. Actual coverage, travel and contractor availability are checked for your location before a referral is proposed.
What about approvals and spoil?
Requirements depend on the site and proposed work. Sediment removal, enlargement and structural repairs may have different requirements. Discuss approvals, sediment handling and disposal with the contractor and relevant authority before work.
