A huge beaver dam taken down by excavator. I removed the beaver dam with an excavator from a big beaver pond. Draining the beaver pond with the excavator. Beaver bond was on both sides of the highway connected with the culvert pipe. Beaver dam removal! Big beaver flood and beaver damage.
Road service ordered a beaver dam removal of us because beavers raised the water level so high that it will have an impact to the road dam. We took the excavator and removed the dam. All the water flowed onto my estate. Big beaver flood and beaver damage.

The best way to control beavers is to dig a channel through the dam. Then place a perforated metal culvert in the channel extending maybe 20 feet in front and behind the dam. The beavers cannot hear the running water and will not try to plug up the culvert !! Try it, it works great !!
