What could be hiding here

on the property and around it

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.

Former dry cleaners

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.

The report answers: any dry cleaner nearby, and how far

Old factories & industrial sites

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.

The report answers: industrial or cleanup sites nearby, and how far

Buried oil tanks

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.

The report answers: on-site or nearby, and how far

Landfills

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.

The report answers: distance to the nearest landfill

Flood — and whether it changed

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 report answers: your flood zone, plainly

Radon

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.

The report answers: your radon zone

How close is it?

answered in distance from your door

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

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.

Rail lines

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 power lines

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.

Cell & 5G towers

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.

Major roads

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.
