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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

How to Prevent Mold In Your Home

Mold can be a serious problem that can affect one’s health as well as the lifespan of a house. However, information about mold is not commonly known. To inform everyone about them, we have gathered some information. So, throughout this article, we will go through why you should prevent mold, how to tell if your house has a mold problem, the steps to preventing mold growth throughout your home, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. Let’s start.

Why Should You Prevent Mold

Mold decomposes organic matter in nature. The growth of mold spores in the house means your house is about to be decomposed. The worst part about the growth of this organism in a house is that it is easily spread and can’t be prevented easily. They can grow in places you can’t see, which causes many problems for homeowners in the future. Not only does mold growth end up costly for homeowners, but it does affect everyone’s health as well. Let’s see how you can detect mold in your house.

How to Tell If Your House Has a Mold Problem

Many signs show a mold problem to a homeowner. In this section, we will list the main four.

  • If there is water inside your wall or under the carpets, these are perfect conditions for a mold to grow. See if there is a musty smell and feel the moisture.
  • If you have wallpaper on your walls and you see that the paint is starting to peel, this shows moisture in between. Check to see if you hear a strange musty odor.
  • If you have had common water issues like leaky pipes, condensation from the AC system, or water intrusions, mold growth around these areas is common. Check and see if you can get your eyes on something odd.
  • If you start to see discoloration or spores on your furniture, this can be a sign of mold growth.

Steps to Preventing Mold Growth All Throughout Your Home

Let’s go over the steps to prevent mold problems in your home.

  • Locate where the mold is. Is it in the basement? Is it commonly seen in carpets or ceilings?
  • Mold requires damp, dark, and moist areas to grow. If you can prevent them, you can prevent mold growth. Dry any moist or wet area you see around the environment quickly.
  • Proper ventilation is the key to preventing moisture. Use dehumidifiers or AC to keep the moisture out of the area.
  • Monitor the humidity of your house every single day and check to see if there is a different issue.
  • Work with an inspection company to find the root of the problem.
