Four services,
one office
Four services from one Norfolk office. The termite and moisture side includes removal, not just the inspection, which is unusual for an inspection company and the reason a finding does not have to become a second search for a contractor.

What this
office does
Four services, run from one Norfolk office. Termite and moisture work includes removal, not just the inspection. Open any line for what it covers.
01Residential home inspectionThe pre-purchase inspection: interior, exterior and all major systems.
A visual examination of the property for signs of damage, code violations and safety issues, covering the interior, the exterior and every major system. You get a full write-up detailing what was found. There is a discounted rate for new home buyers.
- Who it is for
- Buyers making an offer, sellers preparing to list, owners who suspect a problem
- Turnaround
- Same-day digital report
02Commercial business inspectionOffice, retail and medical facilities evaluated floor to ceiling.
A commercial property evaluated for signs of damage that pose health risks or cost production time, and checked for code compliance. Office buildings, retail space and medical facilities. Your write-up covers every element and comes on paper or by email.
- Who it is for
- Buyers of commercial property, owners and tenants
- Turnaround
- Paper or emailed report
03Termite & moistureWood-destroying insects and water damage, found and removed.
Pinpoint holes in the walls or piles of sawdust on the floor can mean an infestation of wood-destroying insects, which hollow out foundations and support structures and make floors and ceilings swell. This office handles removal as well as inspection, and does the same for moisture: damaged materials taken out and replaced. It operates as Detect Termite & Moisture Services from the same Norfolk address and the same main phone line, and lists WDI reports for closings, termite treatment, moisture control, crawl space encapsulation and structural repair.
- Who it is for
- Anyone with signs of infestation or water damage, and buyers whose lender wants a report
- Turnaround
- WDI reports for closings
04Mold & indoor air quality testingTesting for mold and other contaminants when the air is the suspect.
Unexplained allergy-like symptoms are not always the pollen outside. Mold spores can be in the air with no black spots visible on any surface, and prolonged contact can cause skin rashes, eye and throat irritation, nasal congestion and difficulty breathing. Testing covers the property for mold and other contaminants.
- Who it is for
- Households with unexplained symptoms, buyers with visible growth or a musty house
- Turnaround
- WDI reports for closings
Price depends on the property and is not published. There is a discounted rate for new home buyers. Call or text with the address and you will get a quote.

Four steps, and the only one that takes real time is the inspection itself. Nothing here waits on a third-party lab unless you have ordered lab work.

How do I book an inspection?
Call 757-583-4444, or text 757-285-5788, which is a 24-hour number for scheduling and emergencies. There is also a form on the contact page if you would rather send the details in writing.
What does an inspection cost?
Price is not published, because it depends on the property. There is a discounted rate for new home buyers. Call or text with the address and you will get a quote.
How far do you travel?
The published service area is "Norfolk, VA or the surrounding 60-mile radius". Virginia Beach is the only other city named directly. If you are near the edge of that circle, call and ask.
When do I get the report?
You get a full write-up detailing every issue found. The BrickKicker franchise publishes a same-day turnaround for the digital report with photos, summaries and recommendations. Commercial write-ups come on paper or by email.
Do you handle termites and moisture, or just find them?
Both. This office also operates as DeTect Termite & Moisture, so termite removal and moisture removal, including taking out damaged materials and replacing them, are handled in-house rather than referred to another company.
When should I hire an inspector?
When you are about to make an offer on a home, when you are preparing to put yours on the market, or when you suspect there is a problem with the one you are in.
Why does mold testing matter if I cannot see any?
Spores can be in the air with nothing visible on any surface. If there are unexplained allergy-like symptoms in the house — skin rashes, eye or throat irritation, nasal congestion, coughing — indoor air quality testing is the way to find out whether the house is the cause.
