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.

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.

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 Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic.  When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions.  We were unaware of this problem.  Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements.  For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.

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.

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.

Electrical Safety Tips for Homeowners

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.

Using the Correct Wattage For All Fixtures

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.

Keeping Electrical Devices Away From Water

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.

Providing Air Circulation To Appliances

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.

Preventing Overloaded Outlets

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.
