What is a Topographical Survey?
If you were told by your mortgage lender, realtor, or insurance company that you need a topographical survey before you close on your house or property, you’re probably wondering what a top survey is. A topographical land survey measures the vertical peaks and valleys of a property, which may change over time after getting developed, or because of nearby development that changes the flow of water, debris, etc.
When most people think of land surveys, they think of a plot or property line boundary survey measure the horizontal boundaries of a plot of land or property. Topo surveys are very similar to geophysical maps used by oil & gas companies that measure underwater landscape for navigation planning purposes. They help developers, builders, insurance companies, and lenders get a clear picture of the current landscape on the property, including whether you need a flood insurance elevation certificate, or if a homeowner lives in a newly designated flood plain area that requires flood insurance at the time of purchase.
Our topographical surveyors often conduct topo surveys for real estate developers before they buy property, because in most cases they plan to build on the property. Real Estate developers and property developers typically have certain characteristics in mind for the land to be suitable for the type of building they plan to erect. Land with too many valleys, peaks, or rock may be deemed unsuitable because of the cost of excavation for the building’s foundation.
