TUALATIN, OR – October 26, 2023 – ASC Surveying LLC, a leading provider of precise land surveying services based in Tualatin, Oregon, is stepping up to help property owners and developers navigate the complexities of “junk lots” – those often overlooked, challenging parcels filled with abandoned vehicles, debris, and overgrown vegetation. We’re not just about pretty maps; we’re about solving real problems, and junk lots present a lot of them. ASC Surveying, located at 8427 SW Dakota Dr, Tualatin, OR, 97062-7007, and reachable at 802-827-4097, has a long history of providing top-notch surveying services to a diverse client base. We’ve always been a local company, understanding the unique needs of landowners in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. But recently, we've noticed a growing demand for specialized surveying related to these neglected properties. What is a “Junk Lot” and Why Does Surveying Matter? A “junk lot” isn’t a formal legal term, but it’s one we hear all the time. It describes a property that's fallen into disrepair, often accumulating a chaotic mix of abandoned cars, scrap metal, construction materials, and just general…stuff. These lots aren't just eyesores; they're often legal headaches. Owners might be struggling to clear the property, dealing with code violations, or even facing potential environmental issues. That's where ASC Surveying comes in. Before any cleanup or redevelopment can happen, you need to know exactly what you're dealing with. That means a precise land survey. Here's how our services help: Boundary Verification: First things first, you need to know exactly where your property lines are. Over time, fences can shift, markers can disappear, and things get messy. We establish legally defensible boundaries, preventing disputes with neighbors. A clear boundary survey is the foundation of everything else. Topographic Surveys: These surveys map the elevation changes on your property. This is crucial for drainage planning. Junk lots often have drainage issues because of the accumulated debris. Knowing the lay of the land helps with proper site grading and preventing future water problems. We deliver digital terrain models (DTMs) so you can visualize the land. ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys: If you're planning on selling the property, securing a loan, or doing significant redevelopment, you'll likely need an ALTA/NSPS survey. This is the gold standard in land surveying, and it provides a highly detailed map of the property, including all easements, encumbrances, and improvements – and yes, all the junk! This gives potential buyers or lenders a clear picture of what they’re getting. As-Built Surveys: After any cleanup or site preparation, an as-built survey documents the final condition of the property. This is vital for permitting and ensuring everything meets local regulations. We’ll show exactly what was removed, what was graded, and how the land was altered. Site Plans: We create detailed site plans showing the existing conditions of the junk lot, as well as proposed improvements. This is essential for obtaining permits for cleanup, demolition, or new construction. We use professional CAD software to deliver accurate and easy-to-understand plans. Volumetric Calculations: Need to know how much dirt or debris needs to be removed? We perform accurate volumetric calculations to help with budgeting and planning. This is surprisingly important for large-scale cleanup projects. Why Choose ASC Surveying for Your Junk Lot Project?

This information allowed the owner to obtain the necessary permits for cleanup and demolition. The owner was able to sell the property for a fair price, and the lot is now being redeveloped into a community garden.
