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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time, very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!
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!
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!
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.
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.

Water damage is one of the catastrophic events that happen to a house. Therefore, keeping a house dry is one of the most important precautions a homeowner can take. There are many different ways homeowners can prevent excess water near their homes. We develop systems like grading and using roofs, gutters, and downspouts to achieve this goal. In this article, we will go over the systems being used and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help.
Grading means the slope of the land around your house. In normal conditions, water should directly flow away from your house and prevent it from pooling it near. The main reason for this is simple. As we mentioned above, a dry house is a good house. If there is excess water near the foundation of the house, it will start to damage it. You might first see these problems as an increase in moisture, mold growth, flooding of the basement, or even some structural problems. The slope is usually six inches down and ten feet away in a landscape grading. Grading isn’t something you can’t control. However, when you buy your house, you should know more about the grading conditions.
Grading is mainly used to prevent the water in the land from being removed from the house. However, water can also pool on top of the house. So, over time, a great system of roofs, gutters, and downspouts has been developed to ensure no water pooling around. With the roofs pushing the water away from the center to peripheral points, the gutters take action. They collect rainwater from the roof and collect it at one point. At this point, the water flows from the gutters to the downspouts. Once the water is on land, the grading system again plays a crucial role in keeping it away from the house's structure. Roofs, gutters, and downspouts are things that every homeowner should inspect. This will allow you to prevent structural damage to your house. If you don’t know how to inspect these parts of the house or are having trouble, call a professional home inspection service today to learn more.
Although sump pumps are not common in many houses, they are crucial systems in basements that every home should have. The sump pump collects water in the basin and dries the basement. The water is discharged regularly and helps prevent the water from flowing back into the house.
Whether you are buying or selling your house, it is important to get an inspection service to learn more about the condition of your house. Thankfully, with the right services, this is no longer a problem. At Atlanta Property Inspection, we have been in this industry for over twenty-five years. With our experienced home inspectors, modern equipment, superior client care, buyer protection plans, and affordable price plans, home inspection services have never been easier.
