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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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!

Let's start with what mold is. It's a type of fungus that produces through particles called spores. These spores tend to float in the air. They stick and spread when they find the right surface that provides the essential environment. That's when they become more dangerous. People who live in humid environments probably have a lot of experience with mold because it loves damp and humid conditions. Unfortunately, mold is associated with various health disorders, especially in the upper respiratory tract. The worst part is mold is good at hiding itself. That's mainly because it likes dark spaces. So, most of the time, it will go unnoticed by the homeowners until there's visible structural damage or constant allergies. A good way to avoid these property damages and health problems are by hiring professional home inspectors for a mold inspection.
Following is a common mistake many homeowners fall for: you see mold on a certain surface and try to clean it with agents like chemicals or detergents, and when the surface seems clean, you assume the mold is gone. Unfortunately, that's not true. That's why the diagnosis of mold should be left to professionals. During the examination, the inspector looks for common places suitable for mold growth. Additionally, they will ask you questions like if your house experienced any water damage previously that might've caused moisture in various parts of your home. So, they will try to get to the source of the moisture and eliminate that. Moreover, they will perform certain tests to ensure your home is safe in terms of air quality. If you don't see any visible mold but experience constant irritation with your eyes, nose, or other upper respiratory tract parts, or have yearlong allergies, calling a professional is a good idea.
The best way to prevent mold is by keeping the air dry. If the air inside your house is dry, mold will not find the conditions to survive and reproduce. To keep the air dry, you can use a dehumidifier and a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels in your home accordingly. Only partially depend on A/C and fans in your house for air circulation. Regularly open your windows and let proper air circulation take place. With the help of the experts in home inspections, try to find the source of moisture and, with the help of plumbing professionals, fix any leaks. Finally, when buying cleaning products for kitchen and bathroom services, choose ones that also have mold-killing qualities.
Checking for mold is also one of the most important things before buying a house. Sometimes, during the step of home inspections in Suwanee, GA, mold can be overlooked, but buying a house with unresolved mold issues will create long-term problems in the long term. However, this will not be the case if you hire a professional inspector of Atlanta Property Inspection. Our team will provide you with the necessary tests and samples and advise you on the mold removal. Call us today to learn more about us!
