"I had a very satisfactory experience with Ventura County Rooter. Within about 10 minutres they had successfully cleared the plugged water line, and then based on their inspection of the house and when it was built and its general condition, provided additional feedback about other plumbing topics that were beneficial to me. I had them come back the next weekend to perform a general maintenance check of the entire house plumbing system, which is now warrantied for two years. It was very good service."

"Work was completed before given time frame. Service was great! The crew came on time every day and cleaned after they left. The communication with Tom, our project manager was punctual and very helpful. We were kept upto date daily, Tom would come and monitor the project on a daily basis. He listened to our wishes and concerns and was very Kind and respectful. We are very happy with the out come. They were very detail oriented so everything looks amazing. We defiantly got more value for what we spend. Construction at your home is never easy and there were days that we had to face a lot of challenges, but they were on top of things and always took care of any issue that came along. I found my to go to contractor. Recommend them highly"

Land Clearing Services FAQs, answered by experts

A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.

Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you’re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a land-clearing specialist near you to see if permits are necessary for your job.

Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.

A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property’s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.
