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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Thermal Camera Inspections

In the current house inspection process, thermal imaging has become an indispensable instrument that has completely changed the way homes are assessed for structural integrity, efficiency, and safety. Thermal imaging cameras pick up temperature differences by absorbing infrared radiation generated by objects. This allows them to identify hidden problems that the human eye might miss. With unmatched accuracy, home inspectors can now detect possible issues, including electrical malfunctions, inadequate insulation, and even pest infestations, thanks to this technology. As a non-invasive technique, thermal imaging speeds up the inspection process and improves the accuracy of home evaluations, enabling homeowners to make more informed decisions and guaranteeing the longevity and safety of their assets.

Identification of Hidden Mold and Moisture Spots

It is never pleasant to see mold growing around the house, and if it is neglected, it can soon become a health risk. However, dampness and mold typically appear in the house's darker corners, like laundry rooms and air ducts, where it often misses the eye. By using thermal technology, an inspector can search for potentially concealed mold patches throughout the house that are otherwise undetectable to the unaided eye. It is much simpler to address this issue once these places are identified.

Electrical System Examination

Thermal imaging in electrical systems aids in identifying components that are overheating, loose connections, and malfunctioning wiring. This reduces the need for lengthy repairs and puts out electrical fires.

Finding Heat Leaks

Find any heat leaks in structures or equipment to save a lot of money on heating and cooling expenses. Through the identification of heat-escaping regions, clients can take proactive measures to enhance energy efficiency by repairing insulation, sealing leaks, or replacing equipment.

Overall Building Check

The most crucial action that can be taken to ensure that the structure is secure, reliable, and compliant with building codes is a building check. It looks for potential concerns such as structural defects, electrical problems, and potential safety hazards. Frequent property inspections increase property value, prevent costly repairs, and improve safety in living and working environments.

Structural Integrity

Buildings must adhere to safety regulations, and routine inspections identify and address any potential weaknesses or damage in the structure to prevent harm and risk in the future.

Detection of Pests

Everyone detests the thought of having cockroaches and other unsavory little insects living inside of their house. Similar to moisture and mold, these different little pests and animals can all have their temperatures detected by an infrared image.

Looking For A Reliable Home Inspection Company?

Finally, because thermal imaging may detect issues that are not immediately apparent and ensure that buildings are secure and energy-efficient, it is a highly helpful tool for contemporary building inspections. With its ability to detect issues with power, water damage, and lost energy, thermal imaging helps to reduce hazards and provide preventative maintenance.
