Encroachment Survey Services

An encroachment survey precisely locates and maps any existing improvements, such as fences, buildings, driveways, or other structures, that may cross over your property lines. This service provides the legal documentation needed to address boundary disputes and ensure your land rights are protected.

When You Need an Encroachment Survey

• When a neighbor’s fence, shed, or structure appears to cross your boundary
• Prior to installing new improvements to prevent future disputes
• As part of real estate transactions requiring clear property line verification
• When resolving easement or setback encroachments

Our Encroachment Survey Process

1. Document Review: We begin by examining deeds, plats, and any existing surveys to understand recorded boundaries.
2. Field Investigation: Using GPS/GNSS and total stations, our surveyors locate property corners, markers, and existing improvements on the ground.
3. Encroachment Mapping: All structures crossing or within close proximity of property lines are measured and plotted relative to legal boundaries.
4. Quality Check: We verify measurements against recorded data and perform secondary checks for accuracy.
5. Final Deliverables: You receive a certified encroachment survey plat, digital CAD files, and a detailed report highlighting any encroachments and recommended actions.
