S&S Aqua Logging faced legal issues and was shut down. The owner, Jimmy Smith, passed away in 2012.
S&S Aqua Logging was featured on the reality television show “Ax Men,” which showcased the logging industry’s day-to-day operations. The company specialized in underwater logging, retrieving sunken logs from riverbeds and lakes. However, they encountered legal troubles when they were accused of illegally salvaging logs from public waterways without the necessary permits. This led to a significant setback for the company.
The situation worsened after the untimely death of the company’s owner, Jimmy Smith, in 2012. His passing left the company without its charismatic leader and face of the operation. Following these events, S&S Aqua Logging could not sustain its business and eventually had to shut down. The combination of legal issues and the loss of Jimmy Smith proved too much for the company to overcome.
