Preparing to Dig

Preparing our home site for the foundation to be dug was fairly simple and required only one thing; knowing where to dig. This was a job for a surveyor and he basically performed two tasks. The first being finding the corners of the house. Finding the corners of the house allowed us to ensure that all city/county set back restrictions had been adhered to. This is very common and almost always required by the lender. The second task for the surveyor was to identify the location of the foundation and any piers that were to be dug. This process is commonly referred to as a pin/stake survey.
