About PropertySiteCheck
Making environmental due diligence accessible to everyone
PropertySiteCheck was founded to solve a simple but expensive problem: Phase I Environmental Site Assessments cost $3,500–$7,000 and take weeks, while the underlying environmental data is scattered across dozens of government databases that are free but impractical to search.
Our Mission
We believe every property transaction should start with a basic environmental screen — not just the ones with six‑figure budgets. By aggregating federal, state, and local environmental data into a single, understandable risk score, we give buyers, agents, and lenders the information they need to make smarter decisions.
The Problem We Solve
- •Cost barrier: Phase I ESAs cost $3,500–$7,000, putting them out of reach for most residential and small‑commercial transactions.
- •Time delay: Traditional assessments take 4‑6 weeks, often blowing through transaction deadlines.
- •Data fragmentation: Environmental records are scattered across 17+ agencies, each with different search interfaces and formats.
- •Information gap: Most buyers proceed without any environmental review, exposing themselves to hidden liabilities.
How PropertySiteCheck Works
We built a screening tool, not a replacement for a Phase I ESA. Our composite score aggregates 17 environmental signals — from leaking underground storage tanks (LUST) and Superfund sites to flood risk and radon zones — into a single 0‑100 risk score for any Michigan census tract.
