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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

Moving your home is a stressful experience in itself. Unexpected situations such as a burst pipe or severe flooding can throw a wretched wrench in your plans. There is no reason to panic though. Your friends at Atlanta Property Inspections are ready to help. Our home inspectors will be by your side from beginning to end. We even help you file your insurance claim and protect you from getting lowballed. Continue reading for some tips on what to do about water damaged property. Call Atlanta Property Inspections to speak with a friendly representative or schedule a home inspection today. We are ready when you are.
Water damage can be a result of a variety of things, including storms, burst pipes, or even faulty appliances. Water is not necessarily harmless though. Sewage backups from toilets can expose you to pathogens, bacteria, and disease. Worse, floodwater and water from burst pipes may be in contact with electrical wiring and could be carrying electrical currents. It is best to get to safety and call for professionals. You want to call a water damage restoration company as well as your insurance company. Calling Atlanta Property Inspections for a third-party assessment of the damage can save you from getting lowballed by the insurance company.
With safety at the top of your priority list, try to document as much of the damage as possible. Take photos and detailed videos as evidence. This will be valuable when filing your insurance claim. Again, be mindful not to put yourself in harms way just to take photos.
Emergency response teams and the damage restoration company will work to find the root cause of the water damage and contain the damage. For instance, they will likely turn off the electricity, gas line, and water supply. Once the threat is eliminated, you can head into the property to salvage property such as furniture, clothing, personal property, electronics, appliances, and so forth.
Water is a conduit for all sorts of bacteria and pathogens. If you are dealing with gray or black water, then wear protective clothing when cleaning up the mess. We recommend you leave the clean up work to a damage restoration company. They have sophisticated machines and equipment to clean the area and remove excess moisture effectively and efficiently. Plus, these costs may be covered by your property insurance company. These are expenses that you want to get quality service for.
With the water damage cleaned up and restored, it is time to do a final survey. Have a home inspector come in and evaluate the condition of the property. An extra pair of eyes can catch things you may have missed. Even a little moisture can introduce mold and mildew growth. The folks at Atlanta Property Inspections are happy to schedule an appointment or arrange an urgent dispatch today.
