Summit is a compact, older industrial-and-residential village where small lots sit close together and property lines were established long before today’s fences and additions went up. On blocks this tight, a shed, garage, or fence that drifted a foot over the years can put two owners at odds. A careful retracement resolves the question by fixing the true line from the record.
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.
Summit, with roughly 11,200 residents, sits within Lyons and Stickney townships in near-southwest Cook County along the Des Plaines River corridor. Its mix of long-established homes on modest lots means side-yard fences, shared driveways, and encroaching structures are recurring sources of neighbor disagreement. Sorting one out starts with the subdivision plat and deed research pulled through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, then a field search for the monuments that anchor each corner. Comparing that recorded line to what is actually built and fenced reveals where any encroachment lies. The resulting determination gives homeowners and attorneys a defensible basis for resolving the matter.

Yes. It retraces the deeded boundary from the plat and found monuments and shows precisely where the fence stands relative to that line, giving both parties a factual basis to resolve the disagreement.
Summit is in Cook County, so its deeds, plats, and easements are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which supplies the documents behind the survey.
On tight lots even a small encroachment consumes a meaningful share of a side yard and can affect setbacks, so an accurate boundary determination matters even more here.
