Homeowner maintenance inspections
Homeowner maintenance. Once every two years.
A small stain, a dripping toilet, or a damp crawl space can be easy to put off. A BrickKicker homeowner maintenance inspection observes and reports visible concerns in accessible areas, helping you plan your next step. Plan a review once every two years, but don’t wait if new or worsening concerns arise sooner.
Office: Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5 PM. Call for pricing and availability. Requests are reviewed by the office; an appointment is not booked automatically.
On the request form, describe your homeowner maintenance questions in the details field so the office can confirm the right service.

What we look at
Six areas that deserve a closer look.
You don’t need to be selling to ask how your home is doing. We connect visible conditions with specific upkeep questions, so you can make a more informed plan for the property you live in.
HVAC, filters & condensate
Review accessible heating and cooling equipment, filters, ducts, and condensate drainage. Visible leakage, damaged ducts, or upkeep concerns can help you focus the next conversation with an HVAC professional.
Plumbing, toilets & subfloor
Check accessible fixtures, toilets, supply and drain components for visible leaks or moisture indicators. Where accessible, nearby subfloor conditions can add context to a stain, soft area, or recurring water concern.
Windows, doors & utility gaps
Review visible weathering, operation, and gaps around windows, doors, and utility entries. Not every opening should be sealed: required vents, weep holes, drainage paths, and equipment clearances must remain functional.
Crawl space & attic moisture
BrickKicker reviews accessible crawl and attic areas for visible moisture indicators, fungus-like growth, insulation conditions, ventilation concerns, and pest-conducive signs. We document visible concerns, not identify organisms or perform repairs or treatment.
Exterior & everyday upkeep
Look at accessible siding, trim, decks, steps, and site conditions. Visible deterioration, vegetation against the home, or water collecting near the foundation can help you organize a practical upkeep list.
These are BrickKicker inspection topics, not repair or treatment services. The office confirms the property’s scope and access before scheduling. BrickKicker observes and reports visible concerns in accessible systems and components, including moisture indicators or fungus-like growth; observations do not identify organisms. Concealed or inaccessible conditions may need separate specialist evaluation.
From questions to a next step
Inspect. Understand. Plan.
Inspect
Tell the office what has changed and which areas concern you. We confirm scope, access, pricing, and availability for a visual review of accessible home systems.
Understand
Use documented observations and clear explanations to distinguish upkeep questions from conditions that may need a qualified specialist’s closer evaluation.
Plan
Build a manageable next-step list for your home and plan a BrickKicker maintenance review once every two years. Address new or worsening concerns sooner; any estimates, repairs, or treatment are arranged separately from the inspection.
For the home you live in
Plan a home checkup once every two years.
A BrickKicker maintenance review once every two years gives you a reason to revisit the areas you don’t see every day. Compare current observations with your own photos or earlier reports, ask about changes, and decide what deserves professional attention.
This planning interval is not a guarantee that a home will remain safe or problem-free between visits. Don’t wait for the next checkup if leaks, moisture, visible growth, or other concerns arise sooner. Each visit is requested separately; there is no automatic recurring appointment or contract. The office confirms scope, access, pricing, and availability.

A closer look at accessible drain lines
Drain questions? Ask about a Sewer Scope.
An optional camera review can provide a closer look inside the main sewer or drain line, plus other accessible lines when included in the office-confirmed scope. An additional fee applies. Suitable access, line conditions, and the property affect what can be viewed.
When field conditions permit, a signal from the camera helps the inspector locate its position near an area of concern. This can help guide a separate professional’s follow-up; it does not guarantee an exact location or certify a line’s condition.
Clear roles. Clear expectations.
Inspection guidance, not a repair promise.
All homeowner maintenance and renovation reviews are BrickKicker inspections: our home inspectors observe and report visible concerns. They do not perform repairs or treatments. In Virginia, estimates, treatment, and repairs are arranged separately through our sister company, Detect Termite and Services LLC (DeTect), with its own office-confirmed scope, pricing, and availability. Other appropriately qualified professionals may also provide follow-up.
DeTect does not provide services in North Carolina. For follow-up evaluation, estimates, repairs, or treatment at a North Carolina property, use an appropriately qualified local professional.
An inspection is not a code-compliance review, engineering opinion, permit verification, repair certification, or guarantee of concealed work or future performance.
Hampton Roads service is confirmed for your address and requested scope. For North Carolina inspection inquiries in the Elizabeth City–Outer Banks area, ask the office to confirm a qualified inspector, service fit, access, and availability before scheduling.
