Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you

Thinking of buying a new home or selling your current one? If so, you need to carry out a comprehensive home inspection to avoid surprises down the road. There are countless properties that fail to meet safety standards or have hidden issues that only a trained home inspector can uncover. You don’t want to find yourself facing unexpected repair costs, safety hazards, or major structural problems after the deal is done. Hiring a home inspector may seem like an expense, but the benefits far outweigh the costs.
In this post, the team at Atlanta Property Inspections—a top-rated home inspection company—looks into the common issues that inspectors might spot before homeowners even notice them. The information in this post will help you understand why you need a third eye when undertaking a real estate transaction or simply evaluating the overall condition of your property.
While a small crack in the wall might seem like nothing, a home inspector in Suwanee knows it can indicate foundation movement or settling. Uneven floors, doors that don’t close properly, or gaps around windows can also signal structural trouble. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to expensive repairs. Inspectors use specialized tools to check for sloping floors, moisture intrusion, and cracks that could compromise the home’s stability.
Water is a home’s silent enemy. You might not notice a faint musty smell or a small discoloration on the ceiling, but an inspector knows these are clues to hidden leaks. They’ll check for water stains, soft drywall, or bubbling paint. Moisture meters and thermal imaging tools can help them locate leaks behind walls or under floors. Detecting these issues early prevents the spread of mold, which can affect both your health and the home’s value.
From the ground, the roof might look fine, but inspectors climb up or use drones to check for missing shingles, sagging areas, or poor flashing around chimneys and vents. Clogged or damaged gutters are another red flag. They can cause water to pool near the foundation, leading to leaks or basement flooding. An inspector’s report will help you know whether the roof needs simple maintenance or a full replacement.
Behind the walls, inspectors often find outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or amateur electrical work. Similarly, they’ll test the plumbing for leaks, corrosion, or poor water pressure. Old galvanized pipes or improper drainage can be expensive to replace, but catching these issues early gives you leverage to negotiate repairs before closing.
You may not notice uneven heating or cooling during a short visit, but inspectors test the HVAC system to ensure it’s functioning efficiently. They also check for proper insulation and ventilation in the attic and crawl spaces. Poor insulation can lead to high energy bills and moisture buildup.
Termites, carpenter ants, and rodents often work quietly behind walls. An inspector looks for subtle clues like tiny holes in wood, sawdust-like material, or droppings. Early detection of pest activity can save you thousands in potential repairs.
