What the record already knew

Two real NYC sites, from reports on public file.

118 Hope St, Williamsburg

Score 78 · High

15 ft of fill over soft organic soil, water at 10 ft. Piles were recommended. Dozens of nearby boring records already showed it.

1454 39th St, Borough Park

Score 42 · Moderate

Dense glacial soil, water at 45 ft. A 24-ft cellar stays above the water. Good news is worth knowing too.

Analyses of public NYSDEC records, not customer projects.

Why it helps

Fewer surprises

Spot dewatering, piles and contaminated fill before you make an offer.

Faster research

AI read 120,000+ pages of filings so you don't have to.

Every number cited

Each value links to the report it came from.

Better borings

Give your engineer what's known so the investigation targets what isn't.
