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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

What Happens During a Well Water Inspection?

The advantages of owning a private well are numerous; mineral-rich water, fewer chemicals, better flavor, and reduced utility costs are just a few. However, compared to municipal water, wells require more upkeep and testing because every house’s well water is different. But you don’t need to be worried about this anymore because professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are here to give you information on what well examinations look like so you can be safe and secure using the water.

How Often Do You Need Well Inspection?

It is recommended to receive a well inspection every year since the environment surrounding your well may have undetected changes that could affect the safety and quality of your water. If you are drinking this water, knowing that it’s free from the chemicals and microorganisms that can harm you is pretty valuable information. In addition to getting it annually checked, we recommend you call the professional for an inspection if your water has an odd taste or smell, if it’s blurry, or if you think something is wrong with it in general.

Components Of A Well Inspection

  • Flow Test- A flow test to understand the system's output should be conducted, in addition to checking the water level both before and during the pumping process and the pressure tank and pressure switch.
  • Testing For Bacteria- In addition, testing for the presence of coliform bacteria and nitrates, two common water pollutants, will be performed. It's crucial to wait for retests and safety certifications before using water that has been contaminated.
  • Well Casing- The well casing is the pipe that surrounds the well and prevents the surrounding soil from being contaminated by the water. Impurities are kept out of the well by the seals surrounding the well casing. The well casing and seals will be inspected as part of a well inspection to make sure they are in good shape.

How Long Does The Inspection Take?

Many people believe it will take so long to complete the inspection process or that it will take weeks before they receive the results. Well checks are completed much more quickly these days. A couple of hours is usually all it takes to finish an inspection. You don’t have to dedicate an entire day to it or miss a vacation day or work. The entire inspection procedure should not take longer than one or two hours.

How Much Does An Inspection Cost?

A professional inspector's checkup of a well will often cost you between $300 and $500. However, the cost and the kinds of water testing needed will vary among providers. If the water is tested in a lab, you may be expected to pay an additional fee. If you want, you can combine other inspections with the water inspections to save time and have a more thorough inspection of other systems in your house too.

Reliable Home Inspection In Your Area

In conclusion, a thorough water inspection is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and healthy water supply for your home. Ensuring your well water is free from contaminants and meets safety standards can protect your family's health. A thorough home inspection, including a detailed well water assessment by a professional, provides peace of mind and contributes to the overall safety and value of your property. Luckily, qualified home inspectors are ready to help you on your journey. Call us today to learn more about us and schedule your appointment.
