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.

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

Home is our comfort zone, and we wouldn’t want anything to happen to it. However, despite our wants, our houses still face major problems, most of which can come from water intrusions. Despite this, we realize that few people know what water intrusions are and the precautions to take against them. So, that’s why throughout this article, we will go through what water intrusions are, what causes them, what you should do against them, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s get started.

What are Water Intrusions?

Water intrusions are when water enters a building and causes damage. There are many forms of damage that we can see; some of them include molds or ceiling damage. However, let’s look at what causes these problems in our buildings.

What Causes Water Intrusions?

Many things can cause water intrusions. In this section, let’s list a few of them here. This way, you can see if any unusual things are happening in these places.

  • Roofs - roofs age, and they don’t have the same functionality as they did before. So, they start water to be entered from the places damaged.
  • Pipes - pipes are the leading cause of water intrusions. If a pipe starts leaking inside or outside a house, it will cause your water pressure to be messed up and your water flows to malfunction.
  • Basement flooding - this is the worst a homeowner can face. You would have to check in constantly to see whether there is anything unusual in the basement. If there is flooding, this can damage the infrastructure of the house if action is not immediately taken.

What Should I Do Against Water Intrusions?

We have to be cautious of the potential damages that can be caused by intrusions. So, everyone must take precautions. So what should you do? Well, it is really simple. First, ensure that your property and flood insurance are renewed properly monthly. Ensure you know basic skills like turning off the main valve in case of an emergency. Lastly, move whatever you think may be important to you into a place away from a location with a water location and put it in a safe place. There are so many more, but did you know that you can prevent water intrusions with regular home inspections to your house?
