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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

What Causes Air in Water Pipes?

As a homeowner, you have many responsibilities to ensure everything in your house is in place and working well. Unfortunately, homeowners encounter so many problems every year, including air in water pipes. Not only does this result in air bubbles and low water pressure, but you will see the pipes getting damaged. So, to prevent this, we have to learn more about it. Throughout this article, we will go through the causes of air in your water pipes, how to remove it, why you should remove it, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s start learning.

Causes of Air In Water Pipes

There can be three main causes of air in your water pipes. Let’s go over them in this section.

  1. For air to be in water pipes, it has to enter through a hole. If your pipes are old, they can have broken parts on them. Over time, the pipes wear down and result in holes.
  2. Another common reason for air to be in your water pipes is to have leaks in the pipework. If there are any leaks in the pipework, air can travel through it. This can cause pressure problems in your plumbing system and cause water flow issues.
  3. The last problem is temporary. If you recently had maintenance or a new pipeline installed, it is normal to have air trapped in the pipes. This problem is temporary and should disappear over time.

How to Remove Air From Your Water Pipes?

If you know you have air in your water pipes, you can try fixing it. Let’s see how:

  1. Turn off the main water supply. It should be located near your water heating system or basement.
  2. Turn on your faucets, flush your toilets, and run appliances that use water. This will help you push all the water in your plumbing system out and any air in the pipes.
  3. Wait until the water stops running and turn the water back on. Run it for 10 minutes. You should not see any air in the water. If you do, there is a problem with the pipes. Call a home inspection service to learn more.

Why Should You Remove Air From Water Pipes

Although air inside a water pipe is not known to cause damage to the pipes, it can be annoying over time. For example, you will constantly hear noise, come across weak flow of water and water pressure, inconsistent faucets, and many more. So, removing air will save you time and from the constant noise.
