Property Site Evaluations

Are you considering purchasing vacant land for development or developed real property? HydroQuest can evaluate land and buildings so you do not end up with unforeseen problems. HydroQuest will assess undeveloped land for home or business suitability, soil permeability for septic placements, the presence of excessively wet soils and wetlands, potential inundation by floodwaters, geologic conditions likely to lead to foundation failure, and for potential contaminant sources that may adversely impact water quality. If you wish to increase your property value, HydroQuest can identify suitable pond locations and can provide construction guidance. HydroQuest can also help you select a suitable well location and can potentially save you thousands of dollars by overseeing well drilling operations.

If you are considering purchasing property with one or more buildings, HydroQuest can assess the risk of excessive basement wetness, foundation failure, and the likelihood that buildings will or are sliding downhill. HydroQuest welcomes the opportunity to conduct a pumping test on new or existing wells to determine if adequate water quantity is present for your planned usage. In addition, HydroQuest can collect water and soil samples to determine the presence or absence of contaminants of potential concern (e.g., coliform bacteria, farm chemicals, hydrocarbons). HydroQuest can help you assess and resolve existing water contaminant and flooding problems and will, if necessary, provide the scientific litigation support needed. HydroQuest protects your interests and investments before unforeseen issues appear.
