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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Common Toilet Installation Issues

A toilet must be properly installed; otherwise, it can cause even the simplest problems that don't seem related to the toilet. So, to inform everyone, we gathered some information. Throughout this article, we will go over the common problems that can be related to installation issues, two of the most common issues, like loose toilets and caulking the base, and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help. So, let’s get started.

Common Problems That Can Be Related To Installation Issues

Installation issues can cause many problems. We can’t list all of them here; however, we did gather some of the most common problems. Let’s go over some of them in this section.

  • Constant Running Toilet: If a toilet is constantly running, water flows into the tank through the fill valve. Although it may not seem related to the installation process, it is highly likely to play a role. Call a home inspection service to learn more.
  • Toilet Leaks: If there is a toilet leak, there can be many reasons for this. However, this problem is something that no homeowner should avoid. One of the most common reasons for this can be the lack of proper installation. Without wasting any more time, call a plumber to get it fixed.
  • Loose Toilet Handle: One of the most common and basic problems homeowners face with their toilets is the loose handle. This can simply be fixed by tightening the mounting nut. Ensure this isn’t too tight, as pushing the handle may be harder than normal.
  • Rocking Toilet: If your toilet constantly moves when you sit on it and you can feel it rocking, most likely either the toilet wasn’t installed properly, or the toilet has been used for decades now.

Loose Toilet

Loose toilets can be one of the most common causes of the problems listed above. The simplest cause is that the bolts that secure the toilet are loose and have to be tightened. However, you must make sure they aren’t too tight, as they can crack the base. Sometimes, the bolts can be corroded. In this case, removing the toilet and resetting it can be a good option.

Caulking The Base

The second step to ensuring the toilet is properly installed is caulking the base of the floor. After ensuring the toilet is secured to the floor, caulking is required in residential and commercial codes, which is why many home inspectors look at it. It can help prevent leaks from the bowl that is trapped in the tank. This will allow the homeowner to stop the toilet from moving over time, secure it to the ground, and prevent some leaks.
