The only town we serve where the poorly drained, hydric-rated Brookston is the number one soil, and the fastest growing place in Johnson County.
Whiteland has a distinction none of the other twenty-six towns share: Brookston is its single most common soil. Brookston is a poorly drained, hydric-rated silty clay loam, and having it as the dominant unit rather than the second or third means the default condition of the ground here is wet. Water does not leave on its own. It has to be given a route.
It is also the fastest growing town in Johnson County by percentage, up about 19.4% in four years, and its housing is concentrated in the 1980s and 90s, with roughly 53% built in those two decades. That is an unusual combination: stock old enough that original systems are reaching middle age, on ground that never drained well to begin with, in a town adding people quickly.
The other thing reshaping drainage here is scale. A logistics park of roughly 5.7 million square feet across ten buildings on more than 475 acres has landed in a town of about 5,500 people. Development at that scale changes runoff patterns over a wide area and generates a lot of site work around its edges. Whiteland runs its own MS4 program, and its public works crews clean storm sewers, maintain lift stations and rehab manholes throughout town.

About 52.7% built in the 1980s and 90s. Fastest growing in Johnson County at about 19.4% in four years.

We do all nine services everywhere we work. These are the ones the ground in Whiteland 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.

It is common, and the soil is why. Brookston is the dominant unit in Whiteland and it is poorly drained and hydric-rated, meaning water sits rather than moving through. That does not mean nothing can be done, it means the fix is about giving water a route out rather than hoping it soaks away.
No. Whiteland's stock is concentrated in the 1980s and 90s, which is old enough for backfill to have settled, for a shallow swale to have stopped carrying, and for original downspout routing to be well past its usefulness. On Brookston ground, a small loss of grade goes a long way.
At that scale it can. A logistics park of several million square feet changes where runoff goes over a wide area. If water started behaving differently on your property recently, that is worth mentioning when we walk it, because it changes where we look first.
Yes. Whiteland is in Johnson County, one of the four counties we work. We are based in Brownsburg, and 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.
