What are the different types of land surveys?

• <div><p>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Boundary surveys </b>describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </p></li><li><p><b>Location surveys</b> provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </p></li><li><p><b>Mortgage location surveys</b> are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </p></li><li><p><b>Site-planning surveys</b> are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </p></li><li><p><b>Topographic surveys</b> provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do you measure from 0 or 1 on a measuring tape?

• <div><p>Measure from zero on a measuring tape by placing the metal hook right up against the edge of what you need to measure. You can also latch the hook onto an open edge—of, say, a table—to accurately measure as well. If you begin at the 1-inch mark, you'll need to subtract an inch from your total.</p></div>

How do you find a land surveyor?

• <div><p>You will find a collection of licensed land surveyors in your area. Your real estate agent or construction manager may also be able to recommend a trusted professional. When speaking with prospective pros in your area, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-to-ask-a-land-surveyor.htm">ask the land surveyor</a> if they are licensed in the state, have liability insurance, and can quote you a fee before starting.</p></div>

Who does a perc test?

• <div><p>Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-does-perc-tests.htm">professionals you hire if you need a perc test</a>. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you’ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department. That representative is the individual who will determine whether your test passes or fails. </p></div>

Q: How do I know how deep my well is?

• <div><p>There are a couple of ways you can determine the depth of your well. One method is to use a device called a well sounder. This tool has a long measuring tape containing a sensor to alert you once the end reaches the water. </p><p>Or you can DIY it by using a long tape measure with a half-filled bottle of water attached to it. Lower the tape measure into your well. Once you feel tension on the tape, you&rsquo;ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well&rsquo;s depth.</p></div>

At the estimate, Tony arrived on time, surveyed the property, made good recommendations for the number and location of cameras and gave us an estimate. We already had an excellent recommendation for his services and had one other estimate, which was twice the cost, so we went with Tony. Tony...

"I hired Standard Land Surveying Co. to determine our property line because my new neighbors were installing a fence between our houses and I wanted to be sure they were installing it on their property. I contacted them and spoke to Carlos who explained what they will do to determine our property line and after they were finished they explained the findings and showed me the markers that shows my property line. I was very happy with Standard Land Surveying Co. and I am glad I chose them for this project."
