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!

I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming!  Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site.  He was very knowledgeable and very friendly.  I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.

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.

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.

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 gave me a very competitor quote and stuck to it for final pricing. They were able to get someone out to do the inspection so quickly. Frank and James were very thorough and helpful during the process they encouraged me to look at what they found, the good and bad, so I knew exactly what I am buying.  I couldn't have asked for a better inspection experience!

Bugs & Insects in Your Basement? Here's Why

Let us create a scenario. You get to your garage like you usually would and suddenly realize that there are many insects in it. You wonder why this occurs and look for a way to fix it. Well, you are lucky because, throughout this article, we will go through the conditions that bugs and insects love, how to get rid of them, and how Atlanta Property Inspection is here to help. So, let’s get started.

Reasons Why You Have Bugs and Insects in Your Basement

Many people don’t think there are any insects in their basements, but there are, you just don’t see them. They usually disappear when they see the light or hear you. You cannot believe how good of a place your basement is for the bugs' survival. That’s why they are always there. Of course, a few factors play a significant role in why they are attracted. These factors can range anywhere from darkness to humidity. Let’s look deeper into how each factor causes them to form.

The Moisture

Most of us don’t like moisture, except for insects. In fact, insects love humidity because it keeps them lubricated. In addition, the moisture gives them the water and warmth required to survive. To avoid this, we must keep our basements as dry as possible. You can first call home inspectors to see if any leaks cause additional water and moisture in the area. This way, your basement will stop the source of the humidity. Also, you can frequently open the windows, if possible, or provide air circulation. Lastly, if you see any water in your basement, simply dry it. These will help keep the bugs and insects away.

The Darkness

The most significant reason pests decide to stay in your basement is its darkness. They need the darkness to hide from predators. So, this is another critical factor for their survival. The darkness allows them to build their nests, lay eggs or even mate easily. If you see a lot of insects in your dark basement, try removing unnecessary and old equipment. This equipment allow the pests to hide and grow. When you remove it, they don’t have a place to hide and don’t like the environment that much.
