Genoa sits in the northeastern corner of DeKalb County, a small city where residential streets give way to farmland at the edges. Any building or site-improvement plan there begins with knowing the ground’s elevations, which a topographic survey delivers. Those contours and grades guide how a structure is placed and how water moves off the lot.
A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Genoa is a city of roughly 5,300 residents located in Genoa Township within DeKalb County. The DeKalb County seat is Sycamore, home to the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder that files plats, easements and deeds. The county lies in the Kishwaukee River watershed, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas follow the mainstem and branches of the Kishwaukee. A topographic survey of a Genoa parcel captures its contours, existing features and drainage patterns, providing engineers the elevation control needed to grade the site and route stormwater away from buildings.
Order one before designing new construction, an addition or a grading project in Genoa, so the elevations and contours are in hand when the engineer begins.
It records visible surface features and utility evidence such as manholes and valves; locating buried lines is a separate utility-locating step engineers may also arrange.
Genoa is in DeKalb County, so plats and easements are recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder in Sycamore.
