A town that did not exist before 1954. Zero housing predates 1940, and the 1950s are the biggest decade by a distance.
New Whiteland is unusual on this list for having no old housing at all. Literally zero percent of its stock predates 1940, because the town did not exist before 1954, and the 1950s account for roughly 37% of everything here. That gives it the tightest age band of any town we serve, and it means the failures arrive together.
A town built overwhelmingly in the 1950s and 60s has a predictable set of problems, and they are the same ones Speedway, Southport, Beech Grove and Clermont have. Sanitary laterals reaching the end of their service life, clay or Orangeburg. Basements built without perimeter drains. Yard grading done to mid-century expectations. And sump pumps, yard drains and downspouts connected into the sanitary sewer, which was routine then and is not allowed now.
New Whiteland is an MS4 with its own certified construction program, and its public works crews assist the utility department with cleaning storm sewers, maintaining lift stations and rehabbing manholes throughout town. Water here drains through the Driftwood system to the East Fork White River, the same as Whiteland and Franklin.

The tightest age band we work in. 0.0% predates 1940 because the town did not exist before 1954, and the 1950s account for about 36.8%.

We do all nine services everywhere we work. These are the ones the ground in New Whiteland asks for first.
Water service, sewer repair and replacement, storm sewer and directional boring, permitted and inspected.

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.

It does, and it works in your favour. When a whole street is the same age, the failures are the same failures, and a contractor who has seen them on your neighbor's property can usually tell you quickly what is likely happening on yours. It also means if your neighbors are replacing laterals, yours is worth checking.
Most often there is no perimeter drain, because houses of that era frequently were not built with one, and the grade around the house has settled toward it over seventy years. Both are fixable from the outside, and the grading half is usually the cheaper place to start.
Yes, and on housing this age that is usually the right call. If water undermined the old slab, replacing the concrete without dealing with the water restarts the same failure.
Yes. New Whiteland is in Johnson County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and New Whiteland 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.
