Frequently Asked Questions

Home & Commercial Inspections Atlanta

What does a home inspection in Atlanta include?

A Champia home inspection covers every major system and component of the property — foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and interior surfaces. You’ll receive a full-color written report with photos and prioritized findings within 24 hours of the inspection. Champia encourages buyers to attend so you can see findings firsthand.

What does a commercial inspection in Atlanta include?

A Champia commercial inspection evaluates the structural envelope, roofing, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, life safety systems, and site conditions of a commercial building. Reports are delivered within 4 business days and include detailed system narratives and photographic documentation — everything you need to assess risk before closing or signing a lease.

Does Georgia require home inspectors to be licensed?

No, Georgia does not require a state license to perform home inspections. That means anyone can legally inspect a property without formal training or credentials. Choosing inspectors certified by ASHI, ICC, or NRPP — like Champia’s team — is the only way to ensure professional, standards-based service for both residential and commercial properties.

What's the difference between a home inspection and a commercial inspection?

A home inspection focuses on residential systems and follows ASHI standards of practice. A commercial inspection is broader in scope — covering larger and more complex mechanical systems, life safety components, ADA compliance observations, and multi-tenant considerations. Turnaround times also differ: home inspection reports within 24 hours, commercial within 4 business days.

How quickly does Champia deliver inspection reports?

Home inspection reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. Commercial inspection reports are delivered within 4 business days. All reports include full-color photographs, condition ratings, and clear, prioritized recommendations — no technical jargon.
