"i needed a survey, drain field layout for pump type system, house site, and well placement. this survey included vacating 3 lines separating this property into 4 lots, in order to make it into 1 lot of .813 acre. Dr. Brooks always to a text or phone call within 24 hours. This is a one stop shop surveying, soil engineering/testing, well placement, and home placement. This saves time and resources, not going to separate firms for related services. Dr. Brooks surveys and plat layouts are crisp and display exceptional attention to detail. it is also worth stating that Dr. Brooks has cultivated numerous professional relationships with local government and utility companies which make the transition through this complicated process far easier. Dr. Brooks, Acres of Virginia will always be my first choice for surveying and other engineering services. Their professionalism saved me time money and made everything run smoothly. L.H.Paine."

Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.

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. 

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’ll know the bottle has reached your static water level. This will give you an approximate idea of your well’s depth.

A land survey provides precise property boundaries, reveals legal encroachments, and identifies rights-of-way, minimizing disputes. Understanding the exact dimensions and features of the property aids in informed decision-making and safeguards the buyer's investment.
