World Class Home Inspections LLC in...

I just want to warn everyone in Georgia about ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’ in the Atlanta metro area. They literally cost me over $50k to over $100k in damages…

TLDR: Never use ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’ in the Atlanta metro area. Their poor inspection literally cost me over $50k to over 100k and counting…It caused me to buy a home with myriad of structural, flooring and foundational issues. Their efforts at rectifying the situation made it even worse!

I hired ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’ to inspect a home before purchasing it. It was done by the owner’s (Brett) sons-in-law, who did a terrible job. They missed so many defects, and to make matters worse, Brett himself assured me that the foundation, crawlspace and overall structure were ‘just fine’ and ‘all good’ during a long phone conversation with him after the inspection (without ever having set foot in the crawlspace or foundation himself!). I made a huge deal about this before purchasing the house and only proceeded to put the earnest money due to his multiple assurances about the condition.

To reiterate, I never would have bought the house had I known about these issues. Many of the outlets were not GFCI, and then I was assured on phone the foundation and structure of the home were in good shape (not once but multiple times) — it was not. The floors were uneven in my home, due to structural/ foundation issues and much more was missed by Brett’s sons-in-law at ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’…I made such a huge deal about the foundation and structure to which he said ‘everything is fine and looks good’..

Later on, after realizing what terrible of a job this was, Brett, the owner of ‘World Class Home Inspections LLC’ said he felt very guilty and ‘so very’ bad and admitted the inspection was poorly done by his sons-in-law. He kept verbally promising repairs to the foundation and other issues for SIX MONTHS. I have waited for almost six month and been given excuse after lame excuse why the repairs are getting delayed.
Brett insisted on a structural engineer’s report and hired one himself (to ‘cover himself’ with any repairs he did to the crawlspace and support beams and foundation), but it appears that he didn’t like what was in the report so backtracked on the promised repairs after six months.

To make matter even worse, when Brett first realized how bad the job was and he was freaking out, he and his sons-in-law hastily installed a new vapor barrier over the old one at the home (they claim to do vapor barriers and mold remediation but ended up causing me more problems). Later on, was warned by other contractors that placing a new vapor barrier over an old one, especially a see through one that is torn, goes against industry standards and that you’re not supposed to do this. Sure enough, after 5 months, a horrible stench started to permeate through my crawlspace and finally into the downstairs living area. I had to pay $1,800 plus to have another company remove both vapor barriers (along with all the trash/cardboard boxes Brett left under the new vapor barrier that caused mold and mildew to grow). Moisture gets trapped between the two vapor barriers, along with wet trash that begins to produce mold, mildew and an awful stink! I cannot believe Brett did this to me! ‘World Class Hone Inspections LLC’ in the Atlanta metro area supposedly treats mold but they caused mold and mildew to produce in my crawlspace!

In response, the owner Brett now has backtracked and stubbornly refuses to admit he installed the vapor barrier wrong and states he put everything in his inspection report — a huge lie…!

After looking at reviews online, I see I am not the only one with a similar experience (although, mine is the worst 🙁
