Resolve Property Boundary Disputes with Confidence
Professional Boundary Surveying Services
Property disputes can arise when property lines are unclear, monuments are missing, deeds conflict, or improvements such as fences, driveways, and structures appear to cross ownership boundaries. Whether you're a homeowner, landowner, developer, attorney, or real estate professional, obtaining accurate boundary information is often the key to reaching a fair and informed resolution.
At W. J. Eimstad Co., we provide professional surveying services that help clarify property boundaries, identify encroachments, and establish factual evidence for dispute resolution throughout Oregon. Since 1995, our team has helped property owners navigate complex boundary issues with precise surveying, thorough research, and dependable results.

The Importance of Professional Boundary Surveys
Many property disputes originate from assumptions about where property lines exist rather than documented evidence. Existing fences, landscaping, roads, and structures do not always align with the legal property boundary.
A professional boundary survey provides a reliable basis for decision-making by:
- Researching historical deeds and records
- Recovering existing survey monuments
- Locating property corners
- Evaluating easements and rights-of-way
- Comparing physical occupation with legal boundaries
- Documenting encroachments and conflicts
-
Accurate surveying helps reduce uncertainty and provides a foundation for productive discussions between neighboring property owners.
Our Dispute Resolution Process
Research & Record Investigation
Every dispute resolution survey begins with a comprehensive review of available records, including:
• Deeds
• Plats
• Easements
• Historical surveys
• County records
• Title information
Our team carefully analyzes these documents to establish the legal framework for the property.
Field Survey & Monument Recovery
We perform detailed field investigations to locate:
• Existing boundary monuments
• Property corners
• Occupation lines
• Fences
• Structures
• Driveways and improvements
This field data is combined with our record research to determine the property's boundary position.
Boundary Analysis
Using professional surveying principles and Oregon boundary law, we evaluate all available evidence to establish the most accurate and defensible boundary location possible.
Survey Documentation
Upon completion, we provide clear survey deliverables that can be used for:
• Neighbor discussions
• Property negotiations
• Real estate transactions
• Legal consultation
• Mediation proceedings
• Future development planning
Fence & Encroachment Surveys
One of the most common reasons property owners contact us is to determine whether a fence, shed, garage, retaining wall, or other improvement extends across a property line.
Our encroachment surveys help determine:
- Whether an encroachment exists
- The extent of the encroachment
- The location of affected property lines
- Impacts on neighboring properties
- Documentation needed for resolution efforts
Easement & Access Disputes
Access and easement issues can create significant challenges for property owners. We assist with identifying and locating:
• Utility easements
• Access easements
• Shared driveways
• Private road easements
• Prescriptive easements
• Rights-of-way
Our surveys help property owners better understand the rights and limitations affecting their property.
