This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.

Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. was referred to us by our realtor for our home inspection. Our inspector was Cary Cooper. He really took the time to answer all of our questions about his findings. We didn't feel rushed or that any question was too silly. He gave us peace of mind with a few of our concerns and was honest, even if we weren't to thrilled with the news. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely use (and refer)  Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. in the future for any inspection needs.

Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations.  He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting.  His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers.  Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners.  Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired.  I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!

The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!

Atlanta Property Inspections came to do a pre-purchasing inspection on a home my husband and  I plan to buy! We had a very short due diligence period, but that was no issue for these guys. They fit us in their schedule on very short notice and were such a pleasure to work with. Cary and Riley came to do the inspection and did a fantastic job walking us through the inspection to let us know what they found, and suggestions on how to fix all of the issues! Shout out to Cary, for answering all of our questions and having such a great personality! We truly appreciate you guys taking the time to help us through such a very stressful time. We HIGHLY recommend this company!

I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.

Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time  and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!

How A Home Inspector Finds Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are dangerous. If not detected, they can cause health hazards and damage to your property. Gas leak inspection services are provided to prevent these. However, many homeowners are not aware of this. So, to inform everyone, we gathered some information. Throughout this article, we will go through what a gas leak inspection is, the signs of a propane gas leak, the leak inspection process, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

What is a Gas Leak Inspection?

The name of the service gives it away. A gas leak inspection is identifying leaks in the home with a combustible gas leak detector. Natural gas is mainly composed of methane, which is highly flammable. If there is a gas leak in the gas and the methane concentration increases significantly, it can result in the house catching on fire or even exploding. You may have heard of the warning of a rotten egg-like smell in the house that some people detect in their houses. This smell can come from gas leaks, and homeowners should be cautious. However, sometimes, detecting gasses from their smell may not be as easy. Other gasses heavier than air can collect in low areas and lose their odor. So, if you suspect any gasses or hear something leaking, it might be beneficial to get a leak inspection. Let’s learn about its process in the next section.

Signs of Propane Gas Leak

  • Smelling Rotten Eggs: As we said in the previous section, smelling rotten eggs can indicate a propane leak and should be inspected.
  • Higher Bill Than Usual: If your propane bill is higher than usual and you haven’t used more gas, this can indicate a leak.
  • Loud Hissing Noise: A loud hissing sound can easily be heard by homeowners. If you hear this, a gas leak should be one of the reasons that comes to mind.
  • Dead Plants Near The Tank: If you have propane gas in an environment, this will reduce the oxygen levels for the plant and block the sun. So, you will suddenly see the leaves dying.

Gas Leak Inspection Process

Different home inspection services can help homeowners detect gas leaks. The most common form of detection of gas leaks is holding a handheld gas leak detector that can detect any visible gas piping in the house. The leaks mainly occur in gas appliance connectors. These connectors can be ribbed, 2-3 feet long, and can be used to connect a gas-burning appliance to the gas supply in the house. The inspection service will look with their special device to see if the leak comes from any bad connection in the connectors and can sometimes easily fix this.

The combustible gas detector can be used for natural gas and has to be placed in the proper locations. That’s why we don’t recommend homeowners try doing this alone. Unless you are experienced in this area and have the right equipment, checking to see if there is a propane leak can be very risky.
