Property Inspection Services in Fairburn
Trusted, locally-owned property inspections across metro Atlanta.
Metro Atlanta’s housing market is one of the most diverse in the Southeast. A 1920s craftsman in Grant Park, a newly-built townhome in Brookhaven, and a commercial building off the Connector each come with their own inspection challenges – older electrical and plumbing, builder shortcuts, foundation movement on Georgia red clay, and the year-round humidity that makes radon and mold testing more than an afterthought.
Max Property Inspections has been serving Metro Atlanta homeowners, buyers, sellers, investors, and commercial clients with thorough, standards-based inspections delivered by experienced, field-trained inspectors. We’re a locally-owned business with a direct stake in seeing our community grow – every client is a neighbor.

ā¢ļø Radon Testing
Georgia has elevated radon zones across the metro Atlanta area, and the EPA recommends testing every home regardless of age or location. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas and the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. We provide professional radon testing with lab-verified results so you know exactly what you’re breathing.

š¦ Mold Testing
Atlanta’s humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for mold growth – especially in basements, crawl spaces, attics, and behind walls where leaks have gone unnoticed. We perform air sampling and surface testing to identify mold types and concentration levels, giving you the documentation needed for remediation decisions or real estate negotiations.

š§ Sewer Video Scope Inspection
Many older Atlanta neighborhoods – Inman Park, Decatur, Cabbagetown, Kirkwood, and others – have aging sewer lines vulnerable to tree root intrusion, cracks, bellies, and offsets. A sewer line replacement can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and most general home inspections don’t include sewer scope. We send a camera through the line so you can see the actual condition before you close.

Why Property Inspections Matter More in Metro Atlanta
A few local realities make professional inspection especially important here:
Georgia red clay and foundation movement. The expansive clay soils across metro Atlanta shift with moisture levels, putting stress on foundations and creating drainage issues that aren’t always visible from the surface.
Aging housing stock in intown neighborhoods. Many of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods are filled with homes built in the 1920sā1950s, often with original electrical panels, galvanized plumbing, and sewer lines well past their service life.
Year-round humidity. Atlanta’s climate creates persistent conditions for mold growth and moisture intrusion, particularly in basements and crawl spaces.
Radon exposure. Several counties in metro Atlanta fall within the EPA’s elevated radon zones, and testing is the only way to know your home’s levels.
Rapid new construction in the suburbs. Builder schedules in high-growth areas can lead to overlooked details – finding them before closing or before your warranty expires saves significant money.
