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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

What Can A Level II Thermographer Do?

Thermography is a technique that is used to examine a component that is functioning normally by utilizing an infrared camera to see if there are any parts of the structure that are working abnormally. It is a great, effective, and non-invasive evaluation method that can be used for many different fields and therefore is a very precious method in inspections. People who work with the thermography techniques using different tools are called thermographers. There are different levels of expertise, and Level II thermographers are trained to use equipment other thermographers aren’t. In this article, we will cover the importance of the thermography testing, its applications, and things level II thermographers are qualified to do.

Monitoring of Electrical Conditions

It is a commonly known fact that heat is produced by resistance, and therefore electrical equipment also gets hot over time. If the temperatures get elevated within electrical enclosures, this may mean something is wrong with the system. Most of the time, they are basic indicators that fires can happen in the future. Luckily, by using thermography, the components of that electrical system can be viewed non-invasively, and problems can be identified before they create a serious scenario. The thermographic camera can identify parts that require replacement and detect heat escaping through insulation, so you’ll know when the unit has to be shut down immediately.

Identification Of Leaks

Leaks of any kind are the nightmare of every homeowner. Dealing with the consequences is tiring as well as costly. So, finding ways to detect leaks early on is crucial. When equipment or a structure is leaking, there will also be a heat exchange. This can be viewed with thermography equipment, and proper actions can be taken before anything bad happens. It’s especially important for detecting water leaks because a lot of water leaks can be quiet and undetectable until major water damage occurs. However, if you know that a leak is going on, you can just contact the professionals and notify them of the existence of a leak via thermographic testing's infrared technology, allowing for prompt repair.

Prolonged Equipment Life

Of course we’d like our appliances to last as long as possible. However, overheating is one of the enemies of this. It contributes greatly to the equipment deterioration, wear, and failure. With thermographic testing, you’ll know if any of your appliances are overheating, and you can take measures to reduce heat damage by detecting temperature spikes. This can prolong the life of equipment and cut preventable expenses.

A Professional Level II Thermographer Is Able To Do The Following

  • Decide which infrared thermography method is the best for that specific case and know their pros and cons.
  • If that specific method isn’t useful, offer alternative methods for measurement.
  • Analyze thermographic data measurement
  • Provide suitable recommendations for the case they’re dealing with.
  • Create reports on the state, suggest corrective measures, and evaluate the success of the repairs.
  • Know the acceptance and severity standards.
