TerraScan

Add a property in TerraScan

Add a house by address, set the foundation type, and link it to a job you already started in another program.

Updated October 25, 2026 · 2 min read · Open TerraScan

Every TerraScan job starts with a property. Add the address once and TerraScan places it on the map and gathers the ground data for it.

Steps

  1. Click Properties in the left menu.
  2. Click + Add Property.
  3. Start typing the address in Property address. Pick the right address from the list that drops down. That saves the property straight away.
  4. If you'd rather type the full address yourself, type it and click Save.
  5. (Optional) Before saving, pick the Foundation type: Crawl Space, Basement, Slab, Post-Tension or Manufactured Home. Diagnose uses it.
  6. (Optional) If the job was already started in TerraPlan or TerraCam, pick it in the menu that says New job. The property joins that job, so the soil data shows there too.
  7. TerraScan opens the new property's workspace.

Find a property later

The Properties screen lists every property as a card with its address, county, foundation type and the date its ground data was captured.

  • Search address or county… filters as you type.
  • The first row of buttons filters by foundation type.
  • The second row filters by visit status: No visits yet, Visit in progress or Completed, with a count on each.
  • The menu next to the search box sorts by Newest first, Oldest first, Name (A–Z) or County.

Add a property from the map

You can also click Map in the left menu, search an address, town or ZIP, click a spot and press Add as property.

I picked a job and it opened a different property

That job already has a TerraScan property, so TerraScan opens the existing one instead of making a second copy.
