Looking for a DeKalb County Commercial Inspection?
A commercial property inspection evaluates the building’s structure, major systems, and safety compliance. For insurers, it identifies risks and maintenance issues that could affect insurability, helping ensure standards are met and supporting informed policy decisions.
Also, as part of our standard service, we will conduct research on the subject property, including a review of available records and interviews of person(s) with the most knowledge about the condition of the property. It is the client’s responsibility to procure and provide documents for research and for coordinating interviews. The final product of the commercial property inspection is the written report.

It’s not required, but it can be helpful. Many clients arrive for the last 30 minutes so we can review key findings and answer questions without taking up your entire day.
We typically email inspection reports the same day or within 24 hours. Water, mold, and lead testing requires 2-5 additional days depending on lab processing. Radon testing requires a 48-52 hour test period. Commercial reports may take longer.
We ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may be subject to a fee.
We inspect the roof, exterior, structure, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation/ventilation, interior areas, and accessible attic spaces, then deliver a detailed report with photos and recommendations.
