What should I consider when I drill a well?

• <div><p>When considering the price of drilling a well, factor in how much you’ll save in water costs per year. The average family of four uses <b>100 gallons</b> of water per person per day in the U.S. With a private water well, you can save hundreds each year.</p><p>Wells are also environmentally friendly. You don’t need to worry about drinking water treated with chemicals. Talk to at least three well pump contractors in your area. They’ll be able to tell you more about your options, give you different quotes, and discuss the biggest concerns.</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>

What happens if your land survey is inaccurate?

• <div><p>If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.</p></div>

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>
