It searches for concerns that might be dangerous to a homeowner's family or investment such as nearby leaking underground oil tanks, landfills, hazardous waste sites, and illegal drug labs. Accessing a database of millions of records, the report will identify known environmental hazards.
Some of the most dangerous or costly hazards exist outside and can contaminate a home through pathways to human contact such as vapor intrusion, soil and groundwater. Just because an area appears pristine does not mean that issues are not present.
