Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!

A carpet is one of the items that make a house, a home. It makes our homes look beautiful and makes us feel cozy. However, it’s not only about the aesthetic. Carpets are also great for your house because of their performance, value, and sustainability. They increase the quality of life in homes by cushioning the impact of slips and falls, reducing noise, and making learning and concentration easier. In addition to this, carpets nowadays are eco-friendly, stain- and fade-resistant, and durable enough to sustain heavy foot activity. However, they can be affected in different environments. For example, what if you have a water leak or water has entered your property? This leak would cause mold to grow on your property and most carpets are especially good places for mold spores to grow.
Moisture becomes trapped in the dense fibers that make up the weave of a carpet when it gets wet. It doesn’t have to be fully wet either; it can be moisture from a ceiling leak, a basement flood, a plumbing problem, high humidity, or simply cleaning. In a carpet, the weave is usually linked to a backing. If the backing also becomes wet or moisture penetrates, the moisture might be trapped beneath the carpet. This is especially a nightmare because a wet carpet will stay wet until you actively attempt to dry it with many different methods including fans, a hot air drier, or a dehumidifier. Unfortunately, with the trapped moisture, the perfect environment for the mold is created.
There are a few options for getting rid of it. The first thing you should try to do is to see if you can get the humid, moist air out of the room for clean air. Try open a window and door to let the smell and moisture of the mold get out. You can even try to take the carpet outside and let it stay there for about 2 days. The second thing you can do is to see if the mold is present only in a small area. If this is the case, it would be easier to remove. However, if you see the mold in the backing, you probably need to replace it. You can try to remove the mold by cutting it out. The next thing you can try is baking soda and vinegar. These are easy home tricks that have been used for many years. If they don’t work either, try an anti-fungal spray next. There are carpet-safe versions of the spray which you can consider.
Finally, if you've tried everything and still can't get rid of the mold, then it's time to hire a professional home inspectors in Duluth area. Call Atlanta Property Inspection specialist to diagnose the problem. Our professionals will trace back the root of the mold and will locate the source to prevent further damage to your health and the safety of your house.
