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!

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.

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!

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 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!

Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations.  He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting.  His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.

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.

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!

Causes, Effects, And Mitigation Of Mold

Fungi indoors and outdoors are one of the most frequent occurrences in houses. There are many different types of fungi; however, people aren’t still aware of their dangers. Throughout this article, we will look at what a mold is, its causes, its effects, its dangers, and how we can help you avoid those dangers.

What Is A Mold?

The definition of a mold is a fungus that grows indoors. People usually realize it from their smells. To determine whether something is mold, consider these features: a cottony texture and a greenish, yellow, black, and white color. Most of these fungi grow on dead organic matter and reproduce from the pores. They live on wood and paper backing on drywall.

What Produces It?

Molds can be caused by many things. To provide the moisture environment that it is looking for, leaks on roofs are its perfect opportunity. This is the most common form; however, there are others such as groundwater leaks because of clogged rain gutters, plumbing leaks, and stagnant water. The water and constant dampness cause instability of air circulation and indoor temperatures.

Why Should You Care?

The causes may seem like a mold has a small chance of surviving in your house; however, if there is even one leak that you don’t know about, then it can have permanent effects on your house. Most people have allergic reactions, immune responses, respiratory symptoms, cough, and infectious diseases. The unnoticed molds can cause unimaginable effects on your and your family’s health. In addition to the damage to your health, it also causes damage to the infrastructure of the house. If a mold is left unnoticed for a long time, molds can cause the walls and ceilings of your house to collapse. If the fungus is in the infrastructure, then it may cause the whole house to collapse, not just the ceiling and the walls.

Ways to Avoid the Risk

If you have regular air circulation and heating of the house, you maintain a humidity level between 40% and 60%, you regularly check your air conditioners and refrigerators, you discard potential mold growing materials, you open windows and try to eliminate humidity, then there is nothing to worry about. However, if you are just planning on buying a house, then noticing these things can be hard. For this reason, you may want to hire a professional staff specializing in mold inspection to eliminate any risks that you may want to avoid as listed above.
