Questions
What it is and isn't
Is this a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment?
No. It is a desk review of public records and imagery. A Phase I is done by an environmental professional, includes a site visit and interviews, and follows ASTM E1527-21. Lenders and the EPA's liability protections require a real Phase I. Use this to decide whether a property is worth one.
What is it for, then?
Sizing up a property early, before you spend thousands on a Phase I or walk away from a good deal. It tells you what to look for and what to ask the seller.
Can my lender rely on it?
No. Phase1Check reports are for your own early screening. They are not professional, legal or engineering advice, and nobody else can rely on them.
Reports
How long does a report take?
It is usually within the hour. We email you when it is ready. If one runs late, we tell you and keep working on it.
Where does the data come from?
Public sources: FEMA flood maps, state and federal environmental records, historical aerial photos and maps, and county property records. Each report lists its sources.
Which properties can I check?
Any address in the US. Records are better in some states than others, and the report says when a source was missing or could not be checked. A gap is never shown as a clean result.
Free flood check
What does the free flood check show?
The FEMA flood zone and a map of the flood areas around the property. Enter your email to see which buildings sit in a flood area and the yearly chance of flooding.
Pricing and refunds
What is the difference between the two plans?
$100 buys one report. $100/month includes 3 reports a month. You can cancel the monthly plan any time.
What if a report fails?
If a report cannot be finished, we try again. If it still fails, you get your money back automatically.
Can I get a refund?
If a report fails, we refund it automatically. Beyond that, each customer gets one refund, ever, no questions asked, within 30 days of the charge. It covers one report or one month. See the refund terms.
