Where we work in Cass County
Know your ground
What makes Cass County dirt different — and why it matters when you dig.
Logansport is a 'port' because of a hand-dug canal
The Wabash & Erie Canal — the longest canal in North America, dug entirely by hand — reached Logansport in 1837 and gave the city the "port" in its name. Old canal alignments and fills still sit below grade in parts of town, which is exactly the kind of thing we check before excavating in historic corridors.
Two rivers meet in the middle of town
Logansport sits at the confluence of the Wabash and the Eel — the Miami people called the Eel "Kineepikwameekwa Siipiiwi," river of the snake fish. Two rivers joining in a town center makes for scenic real estate and serious drainage homework; we do the homework.
The Eel River is a glacier's leftover channel
The Eel began as a meltwater channel at the edge of the retreating Wisconsin glacier — buried, re-cut, and rerouted as the ice moved. That chaotic glacial history is why subsurface conditions in Cass County can change from one end of a trench to the other, and why we test before we promise.
A railroad town's building stock is demolition's pipeline
Canal-era, railroad-era, and industrial-era Logansport left a deep inventory of aging structures alongside its historic districts. When an old building's useful life ends, we take it down safely, haul it clean, and leave a lot that's ready for its next hundred years.
Cass County Permits & Resources
We handle the permitting on most jobs — but if you want to read along, here's where Cass County's rules live.
Inside city or town limits, municipal permits often replace or add to these county resources — several towns run their own building, driveway, and stormwater programs. Check your address to see the exact authority and contacts for your parcel.
