Site Assessment

Pequest Engineering can provide valuable insight into a vacant parcel's capability to support development through a review of available documentation and a preliminary site visit. This low cost tool can assist the Client to decide whether or not to proceed with a purchase contract. This service is highly recommended given today's regulatory environment.

Where a detailed evaluation is desired, Pequest Engineering can perform soils evaluations, wetlands delineations, and flood hazard assessments preparatory to generating a conceptual plot plan which considers all known constraints.

Boundary Surveys

Pequest Engieering is a strong advocate of having a new survey performed at the time of purchase. Many buyers are ignorant of title issues that may be revealed by an accurate, up-to-date survey. Relative to the cost of the property and the title issues that can arise, the cost of a survey is small. Beside the assurance extended, a survey with corner markers allows the homeowner to physically demarcate his boundaries with accuracy.

Pequest Engineering can assist the current home owner in establishing property lines prior to contemplated construction.

Septic System Testing

The functionality of a septic system has become a critical consideration in the sale of a house. Pequest Engineering has developed a test protocol based on NJDEP regulations to evaluate if a septic system is operating satisfactorily. We offer the experience of a licensed professional engineer with years of expertise in the design and alterations of septic systems. Please visit www.NJSEPTICTEST.com for details.

Drainage Problems

We have found that many wet basements are caused by improper site grading. With in-house surveying, Pequest Engineering can compile a topographic survey and generate a grading and/or drainage plan to ameliorate a drainage problem. Where circumstances warrant we can also investigate if soil conditions are a contributing factor.
