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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

What Happens During a Well Water Inspection?

The advantages of owning a private well are numerous; mineral-rich water, fewer chemicals, better flavor, and reduced utility costs are just a few. However, compared to municipal water, wells require more upkeep and testing because every house’s well water is different. But you don’t need to be worried about this anymore because professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are here to give you information on what well examinations look like so you can be safe and secure using the water.

How Often Do You Need Well Inspection?

It is recommended to receive a well inspection every year since the environment surrounding your well may have undetected changes that could affect the safety and quality of your water. If you are drinking this water, knowing that it’s free from the chemicals and microorganisms that can harm you is pretty valuable information. In addition to getting it annually checked, we recommend you call the professional for an inspection if your water has an odd taste or smell, if it’s blurry, or if you think something is wrong with it in general.

Components Of A Well Inspection

  • Flow Test- A flow test to understand the system's output should be conducted, in addition to checking the water level both before and during the pumping process and the pressure tank and pressure switch.
  • Testing For Bacteria- In addition, testing for the presence of coliform bacteria and nitrates, two common water pollutants, will be performed. It's crucial to wait for retests and safety certifications before using water that has been contaminated.
  • Well Casing- The well casing is the pipe that surrounds the well and prevents the surrounding soil from being contaminated by the water. Impurities are kept out of the well by the seals surrounding the well casing. The well casing and seals will be inspected as part of a well inspection to make sure they are in good shape.

How Long Does The Inspection Take?

Many people believe it will take so long to complete the inspection process or that it will take weeks before they receive the results. Well checks are completed much more quickly these days. A couple of hours is usually all it takes to finish an inspection. You don’t have to dedicate an entire day to it or miss a vacation day or work. The entire inspection procedure should not take longer than one or two hours.

How Much Does An Inspection Cost?

A professional inspector's checkup of a well will often cost you between $300 and $500. However, the cost and the kinds of water testing needed will vary among providers. If the water is tested in a lab, you may be expected to pay an additional fee. If you want, you can combine other inspections with the water inspections to save time and have a more thorough inspection of other systems in your house too.

Reliable Home Inspection In Your Area

In conclusion, a thorough water inspection is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and healthy water supply for your home. Ensuring your well water is free from contaminants and meets safety standards can protect your family's health. A thorough home inspection, including a detailed well water assessment by a professional, provides peace of mind and contributes to the overall safety and value of your property. Luckily, qualified home inspectors are ready to help you on your journey. Call us today to learn more about us and schedule your appointment.
