Forty-seven percent Fincastle soil over thin till on shallow bedrock. The digging here is genuinely different from the rest of the county.
Coatesville has the highest single-soil concentration we found anywhere in the four counties: roughly 47% Fincastle. More important for anyone putting a machine in the ground, it sits over a thin till veneer on shallow bedrock, generally under fifty feet, with bedrock outcropping in the south and southwest of the county. Brownsburg has something like 275 feet of till above bedrock. That is a different dig.
Shallow bedrock changes real things. It limits how deep a line can practically go, it changes what a trench costs when you hit refusal, and it affects where water can be sent, because infiltration options thin out when there is rock not far down. On a Coatesville project we would rather find that out on the walkthrough than halfway through a trench, which is one more reason the estimate happens on site.
The town's housing is old, with roughly 28% predating 1940 and another 15% from the 1940s. A 1948 tornado destroyed most of the town and killed fourteen people, which is a large part of why the housing stock reads the way it does. Old houses, rolling ground at about 138 feet of relief, no municipal stormwater program, and rock closer to the surface than most of the county.

Roughly 47% Fincastle, the highest single-unit concentration in the four counties, over thin till on shallow bedrock generally under 50 feet. About 138 feet of relief.
Around 28% predates 1940 with another 15% from the 1940s, shaped in part by the 1948 tornado that destroyed most of the town.
Not an MS4. No municipal stormwater program.
We do all nine services everywhere we work. These are the ones the ground in Coatesville asks for first.
Our specialty. We find where the water is actually coming from, then build the system that moves it away for good.

You do not need the technical terms and you do not need a plan drawn up. If it is something we handle we will set a time to come look. If it is not, we will tell you that and point you somewhere better if we can.
Casey comes out and looks at the actual site with you. This part matters more in dirt work than in almost any other trade. Two back yards that sound identical on the phone can be completely different once you see the slope, the access, the soil and where the water wants to go. Walking it together means you can point at the problem and we can talk through options on the spot, including options that cost you less than what you had in mind.
After the walkthrough we put the estimate together and email it to you, with the scope of work written out so you can see what is and is not included. It is free and there is no pressure attached. Take your time with it and compare it if you want to. Honest pricing only works if you have room to check it.
Free, in writing, with no obligation to move forward. A deposit reserves your spot on the schedule once you approve it.

No, it means depth has to be planned rather than assumed. It limits how deep a line can go, it can change the equipment, and it can change the price if we hit refusal. That is exactly the kind of thing we want to identify on the walkthrough, not discover with the ground open.
Maybe, and it is more of a real question here than elsewhere in the county. Dry wells depend on water actually leaving through the bottom, and where there is rock not far down that can be limited. We would look at what is under your specific lot before recommending one.
On stock that age, the common items are roof water that has never been carried away from the foundation, a footing drain that either failed or was never installed, and a driveway or walk sitting on a base that was never compacted. Frequently all three, and frequently they are the same problem.
Yes. Coatesville is in Hendricks County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and Coatesville is regular territory.
There is no honest way to answer that without seeing the property, because the price is driven by where the water is coming from, how far it has to be carried and what it has to cross. The estimate is free, Casey walks it with you, and you get the scope in writing by email.
