A buried oil tank. The dry cleaner that used to be next door. A landfill down the road. The flood map that changed last year. Parcelscope reads the public record on any address and hands you a plain-English report — what's on the land and what's around it. Find out before closing, not after. $49.
The scary stuff usually isn't in the listing. It's in the public record — and most people never look until it's too late. Here's what Parcelscope checks, and what the report tells you about each one.
Dry cleaners used solvents that sink into the soil and drift through groundwater — sometimes into the basements nearby, decades after the shop is gone. We flag dry cleaners on the parcel and around it, and how close.
Plating shops, machine shops, and small factories leave metals and chemicals in the ground — often with an open cleanup still on file. We flag industrial and cleanup sites on and around the property.
Old heating-oil and fuel tanks get left in the ground and quietly leak for years. We flag registered and leaking tanks on the parcel and nearby.
Permitted and old, closed dumps sit closer to homes than you'd think — methane, leachate, settling ground. We give you the nearest one and how far it is.
Not just today's flood zone. We read the flood map for the address and whether the line moved — the thing that quietly changes your insurance and your risk.
The cancer-risk gas that seeps up through the ground — you can't see or smell it. For a Nashville address, we read the radon zone so you know whether to test before you close.
Some things don't have to be on your lot to matter. For these, the report puts your address at the center and draws the nearest one at its real distance.
Golf courses are heavy pesticide and fertilizer users. A 2025 medical study found higher Parkinson's-disease risk within one to three miles of a course — strongest where the course shares your groundwater. We give you the distance to the nearest one so you can weigh it.
An active freight line means noise, vibration, and a hazardous-materials corridor running past the house. We give you the distance to the nearest active line.
High-voltage transmission lines carry their own right-of-way — and their own buyers'-remorse. We tell you if one crosses or adjoins the property and how close the nearest one runs.
The registered antenna towers that carry cell and 5G service — some people want to know before they buy. We give you the nearest registered tower within a half-mile.
Living close to a highway or busy arterial means more traffic noise and roadway exhaust in the air. We give you the distance from the house to the nearest major road.
Any house, any address. No account, no sales call.
Environmental databases, flood maps, county files, land-use history — the public record, on the property and around it.
What's there, how close, and what it means — cited to the source. Delivered by email, about a day. $49.
This is the public record, read and explained — not a home inspection, not lab testing, not legal advice, and not a guarantee. It tells you where to look and what to ask before you close. If something needs a professional's eyes, the report says so.
