Plumbing & fixture connections
Review accessible fixtures, supply and drain lines, shutoffs, and water-heater components for visible leakage or connection concerns. New finishes do not make concealed plumbing visible or confirm how it was installed.

Renovation & flipped-home review · For current homeowners
Fresh finishes. A clearer view of what’s accessible.
Living in a remodeled or flipped home—or reviewing repairs to the home you already own? A BrickKicker renovation review helps you understand readily observable systems and visible concerns, so you can ask better questions before planning your next round of work.
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 remodel or repair-review concerns in the details field. For completed work, you can choose the existing reinspection option.
BrickKicker · Homeowner care
Accessible conditions. Clear explanations. Practical next questions.

- Discuss a focused return visit after completed work.
What we look at
The finish is one part of the picture.
A new kitchen, fresh drywall, or updated bathroom can sit alongside older home systems. We look at agreed, accessible areas and explain observed conditions without claiming to see inside walls or verify every part of a renovation.
Heating, cooling & accessible ducts
Look at accessible HVAC equipment, filters, ducts, and condensate drainage, with operation observations when conditions allow. This helps you frame questions about comfort, visible workmanship, or specialist follow-up.
Electrical systems & visible concerns
Review accessible panels, visible wiring, outlets, switches, and protective devices within the confirmed scope. Document observed concerns for a qualified electrician; this is not an electrical code or permit approval.
Roof, chimney & exterior
Look at visible roof coverings, flashing, chimney surfaces, siding, trim, and exterior drainage. Accessible observations can help identify follow-up questions about water entry or deterioration beyond the remodeled rooms.
Foundation, crawl space & moisture
BrickKicker reviews accessible foundation and crawl-space areas, visible framing, moisture indicators, and fungus-like growth. We report visible concerns, not identify organisms. Fresh paint or flooring does not show what is concealed; structural or moisture concerns may need separate specialist evaluation.
Drywall, finishes & interior details
Document visible drywall cracks, staining, uneven surfaces, finish concerns, and window or door operation. Observations give you specific questions to discuss with an independent qualified professional—not a certification of workmanship.
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
Share the areas remodeled, the concerns you see, and any previous report or repair list. The office confirms an accessible-system review or focused reinspection, along with access, pricing, and availability.
Understand
Use documented observations to put visible conditions in context. Ask what was accessible, what remains concealed, and which questions may need an electrician, plumber, engineer, or other specialist.
Plan
Arrange any estimates, repairs, or treatment separately from the BrickKicker review. Virginia follow-up is available through sister company Detect Termite and Services LLC; North Carolina follow-up belongs with an appropriately qualified local professional, not DeTect. Ask the office to confirm any reinspection scope; it is observation, not repair certification.
After the repair or remodel
Work completed? Ask what a return visit can document.
A focused BrickKicker reinspection can document readily observable conditions after work performed separately by an appropriately qualified professional. Share the earlier observations, the repair list, and what was completed so the office can confirm the areas to review.
A return visit does not certify repairs, verify permits, confirm code compliance, or guarantee concealed workmanship. BrickKicker home inspectors do not perform repairs or treatments. Specialized evaluation and required approvals remain with the appropriate professionals and authorities.
Discuss completed-work reinspection
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.
