Atlanta Property
Inspections:
RecallChek Report We provide every home inspection client with a FREE appliance recall report. RecallChek is our valuable new service that screens the major appliances and heating and air conditioning systems for manufacturers recalls and safety bulletins. Did you know that there are 2 million dishwashers on recall so far?
If you have a recalled appliance, our RecallChek report will provide you with all the necessary information, phone numbers and websites for you to make a claim. The good news is, most recalls are handled by the manufacturer at no cost to you, or the home seller - truly a win win situation for everyone. We have helped many of our clients obtain free repairs from the manufacturer when a recall is found. We even helped one of our clients recover stolen kitchen appliances with the model numbers that we obtained during the home inspection!
Certified Report On-site Our comprehensive Certified Home Inspection Report is easy to read and understand by home buyers, real estate agents and home sellers. We take the extra time to provide defect photos, and to list Repair Recommendations, Maintenance Suggestions and Positive Features of the home. We can deliver the inspection report onsite or we can provide email delivery to all parties that need a copy of the report. Our reports get high marks from clients, realtors and home sellers.
Experienced Atlanta Home Inspector We have completed over 9,000 Professional Inspections and have thousands of satisfied customers since 1992. Beware of the new or the inexperienced home inspector that may not have the training and experience to give you the thorough and comprehensive home inspection you deserve. Most home buyers do not ask about experience when choosing an inspector, a critical mistake.
Professional Memberships ASHI, GAHI, ICC - Some of the home inspection industry's most prestigious and respected organizations. We are professionally trained and nationally certified to give our clients the quality home inspection they deserve. Ongoing continuing education requirements in these organizations keeps us at the top of our field and helps us provide our clients with the most professional and comprehensive home inspection available.
New Home Specialist We are Code Certified to provide our new home clients the most comprehensive new home inspection possible. We meet or exceed all local home builder's requirements regarding home inspector qualifications, insurance coverage and professional memberships. We will find and document code violations and installation problems typical in new construction homes. Many clients are very surprised at the types of defects and installation problems we find in new construction inspections.
Foreclosure Inspections: Many of the homes we inspect are foreclosures, owned by banks, that have sat empty for months, or years. BUYER BEWARE!! The majority of these foreclosed homes are being sold AS IS!
Most of these homes have not been properly maintained during their vacancy. Many vacant foreclosures have problems such as mold, termite activity, water damage, roof leaks, and inoperative mechanical systems. Some have been vandalized and appliances and fixtures may have been removed or stolen. If you are buying a foreclosure, make sure that you have a thorough inspection on this type of purchase. Our comprehensive inspection reports and detailed inspection procedures will give you the information you need to make a sound buying decision. You may even be able to negotiate with the bank for a better price or to have the bank make the necessary repairs before closing.
Convenient Scheduling Our full time, live phone answering service can help you schedule your home inspection when it is convenient for you. Our professionally trained staff will answer all of your questions and set up your personal appointment. We offer 9:00 am and 1:00 pm appointments, Monday through Saturday, as well as late afternoon appointments if needed. We also provide easy online scheduling, 24/7 for your convenience.
Inter-Active Inspection We encourage our clients to attend the home inspection and to take advantage of this valuable learning experience. We strive to keep the inspection process "inter-active" so that you can get the most out of your home inspection experience.
This is particularly beneficial to first time home buyers. By attending the inspection, you can ask questions, learn all about your home and get specific information, tailored individually to you and your home. Our goal is to educate our clients about home maintenance items, energy efficiency issues, safety concerns, and much more. By the time you leave the inspection, you will have lots of useful information about your new home. If you cannot attend the inspection, we will be happy to provide phone consultation so that all of your questions are answered.

Valuable Services:
Termite Inspections: Atlanta Property Inspections can help you with your termite inspection. We have the same training and provide the same termite report (Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report) that all of the other pest control companies provide. Don't rely on the seller's pest control contractor or inspection report - get your own termite inspection and be sure there are no infestation issues or conditions that can attract future termites.
Radon Testing: Did you know that Atlanta has a significant amount of radon issues? High readings are typically found in Gwinnett, Cobb, Fulton and DeKalb counties. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Many home buyers are recognizing the risk of radon gas and are having their home tested during the home inspection.
We can help you with Radon Testing; our 48 hour radon test, using a continuous monitor, can identify whether your new home needs remediation efforts or whether your home is within safe levels. The cost of remediation can range from $1500 to $2500 for most homes. Having this information up front can help you negotiate this major expense with the seller. For more information, please see our radon page on this site or visit epa.gov/radon.
Irrigation Systems: Many homes have lawn & landscape irrigation systems; some systems can have problems such leaks, bad spray heads and other operational concerns. Most home inspectors do not inspect these systems in the course of a normal home inspection. Let us know if you would like to add this inexpensive service to your Certified Home Inspection.
Mold Testing: Suspected mold spores are often observed during a home inspection; some are not harmful while others can pose significant health risks. It is critical to properly identify the type of mold spores or fungus so that the correct type of treatment or mitigation can be implemented. Our mold screening procedure tests the indoor air for mold spores and fungus growth and includes a detailed analysis of the type of mold, the spore counts, and the health effects of each type of mold found in your home.
Water Testing: Some homes with well water or older galvanized piping can have contamination in the water supply. We can test for several contaminants such as coliform bacteria (includes E. coli), arsenic, lead, nitrate, nitrite, iron, chloride, alkalinity, manganese and others. Ask about our two water sampling tests to see which is best for your home.
