Services
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys precisely determine property lines using historical records and field evidence. We identify easements, encroachments, and discrepancies to prevent disputes. Clients receive detailed plans and metes-and-bounds descriptions for legal documentation.
Elevation Certificates
We prepare FEMA-compliant elevation certificates to assess flood risk and insurance requirements. These documents help clients challenge flood zone designations or reduce insurance premiums through accurate elevation data.
Mortgage Loan Inspections
Our mortgage loan inspections verify building setbacks and flood zone compliance for lenders. This service ensures properties meet federal requirements for mortgage approval while identifying potential risk factors.
Floodplain Management
We provide comprehensive floodplain assessments including LOMA applications and base flood elevation determinations. Our expertise helps clients navigate FEMA regulations and mitigate flood-related risks.
Utility Locating
Using advanced technology, we locate and map underground utilities to prevent damage during construction. This service ensures safe excavation and compliance with local infrastructure regulations.
