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.

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!

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!

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 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 to Test for Mold Exposure in Your Home?

Mold exposure is a common problem that homeowners from all over the world experience. The presence of mold can cause health problems and damage the house. So, detecting is crucial. However, many homeowners don’t know the way to test the mold in their house. That’s why, throughout this article, we will go through ways to test for mold exposures in your house, like visual inspections, using a test kit, getting a medical examination, working with an inspection company, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

Visual Inspections

If you would like to see whether your house has mold or not, the first and best step is to walk around your house near locations of water and see whether or not there are any molds. Try to look at the ceilings, walls, and floors, especially the corners. Look for any color changes, including black, brown, or green patches. Lastly, make sure to pay extra attention to places that contain much moisture.

Testing Mold Using A Test Kit

If you have looked around the house and can see no visible differences but are still unsure whether you have mold inside your house, try using a test kit.

  1. Close any windows and doors in a room.
  2. Set up everything listed in your test kit. Make sure to clean the environment and your hands before the procedure.
  3. Follow the steps and leave the petri dish alone for several days.
  4. Seal it and put it in a dark place.
  5. Observe whether there is mold in your house and consult a professional service.

Get a Medical Examination To Understand Your Exposure

Another interesting way to see if you were exposed to mold in your house is to get a medical examination. If you suspect you are being exposed to mold in your house and have symptoms of breathing difficulty, sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, consult your doctor and list every symptom you have. Through certain tests, they will confirm whether or not you have an allergy to mold and how to fix it.

Working With An Inspection Company

Getting a test kit, a medical examination, and making a visual inspection can be time-consuming. If you would like to have the process go faster with certain results, working with a professional service is the right choice for you. Experienced home inspection companies will collect samples and send them to the laboratory for analysis. You will get accurate results, and they will guide you on how you can fix it.
