The fine print, up front: Lynch & Associates did not purchase any of the firms listed below. When each business closed, we acquired the rights to its phone number - and in some cases the survey records - from the previous owner. We list them here so property owners holding an old survey know who answers that number today - and how to get help with what comes next.
Firm Names You Might Find on an Old Survey
Old plats of survey, mortgage surveys, and certified survey maps carry the name and phone number of the firm that prepared them - long after that firm is gone. If your document shows one of these names, calling the number on it will reach Lynch & Associates.
Our files go deeper than phone numbers. In 2015 we acquired the survey records and business assets of Krott Surveying, the practice of John Krott and Harold Kolb, whose field work around the Town of Linn, Geneva Lake, and greater Walworth County dates back more than 60 years. Walworth County still requests access to these historical records today.
Krott Survey
John Krott has retired, and his business phone number now reaches Lynch & Associates. We acquired the Krott Surveying records and business assets in 2015, with project files and field books dating back more than 60 years. If a Krott Survey plat covers your property, contact us - our survey team can pull the file and pick up where the original work left off.
Kolb Surveying, S.C.
Harold Kolb surveyed the Town of Linn and Walworth County for decades alongside John Krott, and many parcels in the Geneva Lake area were first surveyed by the two of them. The Kolb survey records, original field books included, came to Lynch & Associates with the 2015 acquisition. If a Kolb survey covers your property, contact us and our survey team can pull the file.
American Survey Co.
Pete Bailey has retired. The American Survey Co. phone number now reaches Lynch & Associates.

The Continental Surveying Services phone number now reaches Lynch & Associates.
B & H Survey
B & H Survey is permanently closed. Its phone number now reaches Lynch & Associates.

B.W. Survey
Bob Wetzel's firm has closed, and Lynch & Associates holds a portion of the B.W. Survey project files. If your property was surveyed by B.W. Survey, contact us - if we have your file, our survey team can pull it and put it to work.
What We Can Do With Your Old Survey
An old survey is valuable even when the firm behind it is gone. Our surveyors use it as the starting point: we research the recorded documents at the county Register of Deeds, retrace the original boundaries in the field, reset disturbed monuments, and deliver a current survey you can build, sell, or settle a fence line with. If your project needs it, the same team handles boundary and topographic surveys, certified survey maps, construction staking, and ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys.
