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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
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.
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.

It is a common misconception to think that water heaters and water boilers are the same because both, after all, heat the water. Despite having similar functions, a boiler and a water heater heat water in different ways. Just as it’s crucial for our water heaters to be examined regularly, water boilers should also be inspected regularly by professional home inspectors in order to ensure they are working properly. This is also important if you are thinking of buying a house with a boiler because it will be a part of your home inspection list.
The water heater solely heats the water, just as the name suggests. We use water heaters for our daily jobs like showering, cooking, and cleaning. Most of the time, water heaters come in two options: conventional and tankless. Conventional water heaters have a tank that heats water at all times, while tankless ones don’t have a large tank and instead, can heat the water instantly when it’s needed. The water heater gives the warm water to the place where it's needed with the help of the pipes. However, the system of a boiler is a bit different. By comparison, hot water boilers produce steam in addition to boiling water. Heat may be transferred effectively with steam, and this can be very useful for heating a home. In contrast to a water heater, boilers function in a closed-loop system. So, when steam is produced once, it doesn’t need to keep producing steam from fresh water. Water from the boiler is used, and a combustion chamber heats this water, and steam is produced as a result. When the steam warms the house and cools down after a while, it doesn’t require much energy to start warming again because the boiler's water is already hot.
You'd be shocked at how many people move into a new property and realize they don't know where to find the boiler. If you are considering buying a house with a boiler, please ask the homeowner or the home inspector to show you where the boiler is. Because unlike water heaters, a boiler can be found anywhere in the house, and you should know the location in case you need access to it during an emergency.
Your home inspector will also inspect the boiler’s model and manufacturer because it can give a lot of hints about the boiler's age and quality. Knowing the boiler's make and model in advance is important since you may need it for an insurance company or would like to change the boiler after some time. The details will be inspected and taken into note by your home inspector.
Every boiler should have an annual inspection and service; therefore, the seller should be able to provide a copy of the boiler's comprehensive gas safety record, so you will know whether it passed all necessary safety inspections in the near past. This record will also be inspected and interpreted by your home inspector in Marietta if it’s provided.
You can avoid future home problems by having a professional property inspection. After thoroughly inspecting every room and aspect of your house, our committed home inspectors at Atlanta Property Inspection will let you know about the situation of your home or the house you’re intending to buy.
