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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

What’s in Your Drinking Water?

Every water taste different from one another. Even in the same city, different districts and even neighborhoods can have different tasting waters. That’s mainly because of the different elements and components found in the water. Since we use water this much every single day, we must know what it is because our health is inside it. In this article, we will go over some of the components of our drinking water.

Sources

Well, our drinking water can come from many different sources and the source is one of the main factors that define the taste of the water. It can come from surface waters such as lakes, rivers, or even reservoirs. Another source is groundwater, which is found deep inside the earth. In most cases, groundwater is cleaner and safer to drink because surface water is constantly exposed to many weather conditions, acids, and other contaminants so it is easier for it to be harmful to human health.

Lead

Unfortunately, Lead is one of the most found elements in the water. As you may be aware of it, lead is associated with many different health problems in both adults and kids. In adults, it can cause kidney failure, hypertension, cardiological problems, and joint pain. Similarly, it is associated with neurological problems in kids. Even though lead pipes aren’t commonly used nowadays, it is still found in drinking waters, especially if you are living in an older settlement. 

Pathogens

Just like humans, many living organisms need water to survive; so, many microorganisms can be found inside the water. Unfortunately, many of these microorganisms aren’t beneficial for human health and are pathogens. Even though many regulations and steps were taken to avoid pathogens in drinking waters, they aren’t completely eradicated.

Sodium

At least this one is good news! Sodium is one of the most frequently found elements in our waters. However, this is not a bad sign because it is one of the most necessary electrolytes for your body that is essential for your metabolism and health. We need sodium in our bodies and luckily our drinking waters can give it to us.

Zinc

Another element found in drinking water is zinc. It is added to the water source mainly to avoid pathogens, but this is a good thing for us. That’s because just like sodium, zinc is another electrolyte in our bodies that is essential for our health. You may know that doctors prescribe zinc for the treatment of many diseases and conditions such as diabetes, acne, diarrhea, etc. So, if it is found in the right amounts, zinc in your drinking water can be very beneficial. 

Importance of Testing Your Water

Did you move into a new city or neighborhood and want to know the quality of your water? Well, with today’s technology, it is possible to find out exactly what is inside your water. Call the Atlanta Property Inspection so we can come to your house and send your water to the water testing facilities and help you get the exact results. Depending on the components of your water or their levels, you may decide to install a water filter, so your water is safe to drink once again. Risking your health isn’t worth it so ease your mind by simply calling us.
