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!
WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
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.
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.
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
We are relocating from out of state and we were in need of an inspection with a very tight turn around. We received incredibly thorough reporting and an availability to answer questions quickly. Cary Cooper’s professional and expert insight saved us from a potential health hazard. I would very much recommend Atlanta Property Inspection for any of your inspection needs!
This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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.

Electricity plays a very important part in our lives. They are used from heating water to cooling rooms. However, due to its common use, we don’t think much about its dangers. To prevent anyone from facing these dangers, we have gathered some safety tips. So, throughout this article, we will go over some electrical safety tips for homeowners, like using the correct wattage for all fixtures, keeping electrical devices away from water, providing air circulation to the appliances, preventing overloaded outlets, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. Let’s start.
Correct wattage usage is important in preventing overheating. We will go over in the following sections the importance of heat on electrical problems. Ensure that you have the right watt use. Avoid using converters and extension cords for extended amounts of time. This will produce heat and harm the fixtures.
We all have heard that water and electricity aren’t the best combinations. However, many of us don’t know the reason for that. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. If you touch water which touches electricity, then you can get shocked. To protect yourself against these personal injuries, you must always act with dry hands and keep your electrical appliances away from water sources, like showers, bathtubs, aquariums, etc.
As we said above, overheating of outlets and electrical appliances is harmful. There are many factors to overheating, one of which is air circulation. Without normal air circulation within the equipment, there is a potential electrical fire hazard. To provide circulation, there are a few tips we give to everyone. Firstly, avoid putting your electrical equipment in enclosed cabinets. Second, don’t put electrical equipment which overheats right next to each other. Call Atlanta Property Inspection today to learn more about how you can provide air circulation to your electrical appliances.
Lastly, one of the most common problems that homeowners make is overloading their outlets. Ensure that an outlet doesn’t feel hot and has a protective faceplate when you touch it. If you have so many appliances which are plugged into an outlet at once, make sure to unplug the appliances which are not used. Lastly, if an appliance produces heat, make sure to plug one at a time.
Electricity is important to our health and your property’s condition. To prevent all the scenarios above from happening to you, professional home inspectors play a significant role. Thankfully, that’s where we come in. At Atlanta Property Inspection, we are here to provide our customers with quality services. With our 25 years of experience in this industry, amazing client care, community support, and experienced home inspectors, home inspection has never been easier.
