Lockport pairs a historic canal-town core with newer subdivisions on its edges, so its parcels carry a wide range of survey vintages and descriptions. Older deeds tied to the canal era can be difficult to reconcile with modern fences and improvements, which is where disputes arise. A boundary dispute survey retraces those descriptions against physical evidence to fix the true line.
A boundary dispute survey is a careful retracement of your property lines, backed by research of deeds, prior surveys and physical evidence. It gives you — and, if needed, your attorney — a defensible determination of where the true boundary lies.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Lockport is home to roughly 26,000 residents in Lockport Township, Will County. Its deeds, plats, and prior surveys are recorded with the Will County Recorder of Deeds in the county seat of Joliet. The Des Plaines River and historic canal corridors run through the area, bringing FEMA-mapped flood zones that make precise line placement important near the water. Resolving a boundary question here means retracing the recorded history and recovering the monuments that define the parcel.
Yes. Older descriptions are exactly what a boundary retracement is built to interpret. The surveyor researches the historic record and locates surviving monuments to re-establish the line described in the deed.
Fences are frequently built for convenience rather than to a surveyed line, and over decades they may not reflect the recorded boundary at all. A retracement reveals the difference between the fence and the true line.
It is strongly advisable. Knowing exactly where the line falls before you build helps avoid an encroachment that could later trigger a dispute or costly correction.
