What We Do.
Land Surveys
As Land Surveyors we have helped many folks to a successful
closing and have guided many others to a successful project
completion. A
Land Survey will help you to be a good neighbor.
Remember, that by doing a land survey, it will help
you to stay within your boundaries and your neighbors to
stay within theirs.
The old adage of “Good fences make good neighbors” is
correct, provided that everyone has put the fence in the
right place. Nobody can afford to make a mistake.
When an outdoor project is ready to get started, the last
thing you need is a setback.
If you’re buying a new home, have your lot marked out
before you move in.
If you are going to put on an addition, build a new
pool to cool off in, put up a new fence or make some yard
improvements, doing it in the wrong place, could be doubly
costly. To quote Ben Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.” Know where you are going, so you
don’t wind up someplace else.
Underground Utility Location
Please don’t forget, that digging up an underground utility
could prove deadly or very costly.
We offer underground utility location for both
residential, commercial and institutional properties. Call
before you dig!
FEMA has updated some of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps and is in the process of revising the maps for Rensselaer County. If you live near any streams, river, or lake, and were not in a Flood Zone, with the revisions to the mapping you may or may not end up in a Flood Zone. If you have any questions about these changes give a call and we will help you out.
Elevation Certificates are being required by the legislation
to make a determination as to the amount of the risk and
ultimately the cost of your insurance policy.
Elevation Certificates are to be performed by surveyors and
that’s where RDM Surveying enters the picture.
RDM has performed many of these certificates and the
good news is that we have found that some folks aren’t in
the Flood Zone at all!
Please remember that this applies to both residential
and commercial properties alike.
Once the determination has been made by the elevations that
you are not in the flood zone, we then can prepare a LOMA
application (Letter of Map Amendment), on your behalf.
The LOMA has certain requirements that must be
performed by the surveyor and then it is electronically
filed with FEMA for review and ultimate removal from the
Flood Zone.
The process can appear a little daunting at first glance.
Our years of experience in working with FEMA will make this
an easy, straightforward process. We do it all.
Once we have official confirmation from FEMA that the
structure been removed from the flood zone, we forward the
official paperwork to you.
The best part is when you take the paperwork to your
insurance carrier and present it for a one-year rebate.
