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 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 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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Top Warning Signs That Your Home Has Foundation Issues

Your home's foundation is the single most critical important part of your home, it’s like the skeleton, keeping your home’s structure stable & proper home inspection services. Therefore, any problems that emerge regarding the foundation should be taken very seriously. Since it’s not directly in front of our eyes, the problems about home’s foundation frequently going unnoticed until serious damage occurs. Being careful about the early signs of a foundation damage and taking early action is critical to maintain the safety and avoid expensive repairs. In this article, we will go over some of the leading signs of foundation trouble and provide you some advice on when to seek professional assistance of a home inspector to keep your house secure.

Cracked Drywall

If you are seeing diagonal cracks on your walls, you should be alerted. Even though vertical cracks are seen more often and aren’t thought to be as serious, if they keep growing and increasing in number, it would be better for you to investigate the foundation of your home.

Separated Cabinets or Countertops

Observe if there’s a gap between your cabinets or countertops and the wall, because this can be another indication of a foundation issue. If the foundation is sinking, the house's frame shifts, causing doors, windows, and other elements to become misaligned with the walls. If the separations aren’t very big, this can be due to improper cabinet installation. However, if the space expands or if the other issues we will mention also appears, you should look into the source.

Flooring

Sagging or uneven flooring are frequently signs of structural issues beneath the home, which can be caused by many factors including mold or rot. These are early warning signals of potential foundation problems and is a rather obvious one because noticing uneven floorings isn’t hard for many homeowners.

Cracked or Tilted chimney

An unstable foundation can also cause a chimney to be significantly harmed. Observe your chimney closely for any cracks or tilts. If so, it may indicate that your foundation is failing. This is actually one of the most reliable methods. A leaning chimney occurs when your foundation lowers, elevates, or shifts. And even though it doesn’t seem related, if you don’t seek out professional help regarding the chimney’s condition and repair it, it can lead to water damage.

Basement Water Leaks

Water leaks around your house can be caused by many factors, so directly pointing out foundational issues isn’t specific, but if the water leaks are originating from the basement, then an underlying foundational issue can be in the picture. Water leaks also promote the formation of mold, mildew, and poor indoor air quality
