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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

What Is Tie Down Foundation?

Over time, our house ages, and so do many mechanisms with it. Most of us don’t even know the parts that make up the foundation of our house. One of these parts is the tie down foundation. Many of us haven’t heard of this and understand its importance. Well, we gathered this article to help. So, throughout this article, we will go through the definition of tie down and its purpose, some of its requirements and anchors, how inspections can be useful, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s start learning.

Tie Down Definition and Its Purpose

The first thing that we have to answer is what is a tie down. A tie down is a system of bands in the foundation of the house to keep the house stable during extreme weather conditions like high winds, etc. It is mainly seen in manufactured homes and is made from strong products like concrete. Saying all these may make you question the purpose of it still. Without these systems in our house, the structure would slide with every hit from a strong wind or storm.

Tie Down Requirements & Anchors

There are a few requirements for a tie down to anchor the home. These requirements will vary based on the location of the house, the age, and length. If someone lives in a place with very strong winds and storms, that house will require more tie downs to its foundation. There are many different types of tie downs. If you want to check your house’s tie down conditions, call Atlanta Property Inspection today to learn more.

How Can Inspections Be Useful?

Inspections are important for many different categories of people. For sellers, it can be important to increase the house's value. For buyers, they can be used to negotiate the price of a house. For homeowners, they can be used to understand the conditions of the systems and infrastructure of the house they live in. Tie downs are essential for our safety, and we need to make sure we take care of them. If you don’t know this system's condition in your house, call an experienced inspection service today. But who?
