Property environmental report

Screen a property for environmental concerns before deeper review

Environmental questions can affect cost, timing, financing, and development plans. Groundcheck checks available public datasets and organizes the findings into a source-backed first-pass report.

Official public data sources. Clear risk levels. Practical next questions.

Generate a Groundcheck Report

Enter a property address to start your screening report.

Your first Groundcheck Report is free. Each additional report is $29.

What you get

Find mapped environmental signals worth investigating

Use the report to identify potential concerns, compare sites, and plan the right follow-up. A clean screen does not prove that a property is free from contamination, wetlands, flood risk, or other environmental conditions.

Check multiple signals

Review mapped natural hazards, site conditions, cleanup records, and regulated facilities in one screening report.

Trace the evidence

Open source links and see which datasets completed, returned findings, or were unavailable.

Plan deeper review

Turn screening results into specific questions for agencies, lenders, engineers, or environmental professionals.

Property checks

What Groundcheck screens

  • FEMA flood hazard areas
  • National Wetlands Inventory features
  • Soils, representative slope, streams, and surface water
  • Nearby environmental cleanup sites
  • Regulated water facilities and available environmental records
  • Historic resources, state layers, and local layers where available

Available parcel, state, and local data varies by location. Every report shows the sources used and any unavailable checks.

How it works

From an address to a clearer next step

  1. 1

    Enter the property's street address.

  2. 2

    Groundcheck checks the parcel against available environmental and site datasets.

  3. 3

    Review the sources and arrange qualified follow-up when a decision depends on the result.

Common questions

Before you rely on a property screen

What environmental risks can Groundcheck screen for?

Depending on location and data availability, Groundcheck can screen mapped flood hazards, wetlands, soils, slope, surface water, cleanup sites, regulated water facilities, historic resources, and selected state or local environmental layers.

Is this a Phase I environmental site assessment?

No. Groundcheck is not a Phase I ESA, records review performed to an ASTM standard, contamination determination, wetlands delineation, or substitute for work by a qualified environmental professional.

Does a low-risk report mean the property has no environmental issues?

No. Public datasets can be incomplete, approximate, delayed, or unable to show field conditions. Treat the report as an early screen and obtain formal review when required by a lender, agency, transaction, or project.

Start with the property you are considering

Generate a source-backed screening report before you spend serious time or money on the site.

Screen environmental risks

Groundcheck is an early-stage screening tool. It does not provide a legal, engineering, surveying, environmental, planning, permitting, or buildability determination. Verify important findings with qualified professionals and the appropriate agencies.
