Easy Does It

You're minding your own business, having a cup of coffee and enjoying the view from your front porch. Suddenly a truck pulls up, places some orange cones around it and begins to start digging in your lawn. What's going on here, anyway!

Don't worry, it's not some rogue digger creating holes in neighboring yards. It's likely a utility and they need to repair or inspect one of their lines. And they don't have to ask for permission to dig up your yard. In fact, if there's a tool shed in their way of getting to their utility they have every right to tear that shed down if they see fit.

That's not likely to happen, at least in that manner, but utility companies already have the right to access your property. And you already gave them permission when you first bought the property. It's called an easement.

Utility companies such as electric, cable or gas have legal access to your property. They'll usually let you know in advance when they're coming บ้านมือสอง กรุงเทพ but often they don't have to. They can drive up, set up shop and dig away. This right of easement allows utility companies to access their lines or equipment to make sure they're in property shape and providing you and your neighbors with their services.

A property survey will show the existence and location of such utility easements. A survey is a drawing showing property lines, structures and easements that appear on the lot. Easements can also be described in a report identifying how many feet away from the property line the water line is and how far it extends across the property. When you bought the property, you acknowledged the presence of the easements and understood the implications. If you disagreed with the easements, you wouldn't be able to buy the property.

Knowing where utility lines exist as well as allowing utility companies access to your property help to make sure utilities are in proper working order for everyone to enjoy. And to make sure during an emergency that utilities are repaired in quick fashion.
