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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.

Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time,  very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

How A Home Inspector Finds Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are dangerous. If not detected, they can cause health hazards and damage to your property. Gas leak inspection services are provided to prevent these. However, many homeowners are not aware of this. So, to inform everyone, we gathered some information. Throughout this article, we will go through what a gas leak inspection is, the signs of a propane gas leak, the leak inspection process, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

What is a Gas Leak Inspection?

The name of the service gives it away. A gas leak inspection is identifying leaks in the home with a combustible gas leak detector. Natural gas is mainly composed of methane, which is highly flammable. If there is a gas leak in the gas and the methane concentration increases significantly, it can result in the house catching on fire or even exploding. You may have heard of the warning of a rotten egg-like smell in the house that some people detect in their houses. This smell can come from gas leaks, and homeowners should be cautious. However, sometimes, detecting gasses from their smell may not be as easy. Other gasses heavier than air can collect in low areas and lose their odor. So, if you suspect any gasses or hear something leaking, it might be beneficial to get a leak inspection. Let’s learn about its process in the next section.

Signs of Propane Gas Leak

  • Smelling Rotten Eggs: As we said in the previous section, smelling rotten eggs can indicate a propane leak and should be inspected.
  • Higher Bill Than Usual: If your propane bill is higher than usual and you haven’t used more gas, this can indicate a leak.
  • Loud Hissing Noise: A loud hissing sound can easily be heard by homeowners. If you hear this, a gas leak should be one of the reasons that comes to mind.
  • Dead Plants Near The Tank: If you have propane gas in an environment, this will reduce the oxygen levels for the plant and block the sun. So, you will suddenly see the leaves dying.

Gas Leak Inspection Process

Different home inspection services can help homeowners detect gas leaks. The most common form of detection of gas leaks is holding a handheld gas leak detector that can detect any visible gas piping in the house. The leaks mainly occur in gas appliance connectors. These connectors can be ribbed, 2-3 feet long, and can be used to connect a gas-burning appliance to the gas supply in the house. The inspection service will look with their special device to see if the leak comes from any bad connection in the connectors and can sometimes easily fix this.

The combustible gas detector can be used for natural gas and has to be placed in the proper locations. That’s why we don’t recommend homeowners try doing this alone. Unless you are experienced in this area and have the right equipment, checking to see if there is a propane leak can be very risky.
