Our History
A Family Tradition Since 1921.
Mr. Krebs began his career in land surveying in June 1968, while working under the tutelage of his grandfather and father at J.J. Krebs & Sons, Inc. It was during this period that Mr. Krebs was taught all aspects of the land surveying business.
Mr. Krebs’ grandfather, J.J. Krebs, Sr., passed away in 1970. He continued to work with his father, John M. Krebs, at J.J. Krebs & Sons until October 1972, when he began serving in the United States Army. He was honorably discharged in October 1974 and immediately returned to work with his father. His beloved father passed away very suddenly in 1977.
It had been the dream of Mr. Krebs to establish his own land surveying business and in August 1979, he struck out on his own, providing area land surveyors with technical support services.
In November 1997, Mr. Krebs became licensed by the State of Louisiana as a professional Land Surveyor and in May 1999, Mr. Krebs later expanded his practice when he became a licensed Professional Land Surveyor by the State of Mississippi. He is a member of Louisiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors, American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, and a member of the National Society of Professional Surveyors Foundation.
