Gas Leaks are no joking matter but there are multiple factors that go into how the gas get's into the home, to how it is inspected. The BrickKicker team of professional inspectors/consultants will observe all readily available fuel lines and point out the important shut off locations. Gas Leaks are common but if you can smell it with the naked nose, it is suggested to call the local gas company right away.

What people are saying about us

Tom Tews is nothing short of the best. He provides excellent tips and is genuinely passionate about giving you as much information as possible about your new home. Tom is incredibility knowledgeable and I wanted to share that I had an excellent experience with our home inspection.

Just had The BrickKickers inspect a house. They are WONDERFUL. They looked at everything and were very nice, polite, and professional. I’d use them again. Vince did a great job.

The BrickKicker is a company based on morals, values and treats others the way they would want to be treated! They are a stand up company with an amazing leadership team!

 

They were prompt and conducted a very thorough inspection! He allowed me to shadow him the whole time and explained any concerns that he had regarding the condo. He was very specific to point out things that not only were immediate concerns but also items that he would recommend monitoring in the future to ensure that the condo was safe and in good condition. I highly recommend BrickKicker.

I had an inspection done yesterday and it was a great experience.  Not only did he have me as his shadow so he could show me everything, but was a joy to be around.  We went through every nook and cranny in the house and he even pointed out ways with how to fix some of the minor stuff we found.  His experience in the field showed and will definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a home!

The BrickKicker is a very professional and well run company. Everything was easy with clear communications and timely follow up. Our inspector in particular, Kurt, was exceptional. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything to my wife and I, and answered all of our questions in a pragmatic and easy to understand way. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

The BrickKicker COVID-19 Response 

The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted businesses and markets all across the globe.

At The BrickKicker, our reputation has continued to stand tall during these times of uncertainty just as it has over the last 30 years. We continue to strive for highest regards to transparency and reliability, ensuring our customers will continue to count on us. With that, it is important for us to share how we are managing our business during these uncertain times.

First and foremost, we will continue to be laser focused on monitoring all WHO, CDC & DOC broadcasts to a) guarantee The BrickKicker is contributing to keeping our community safe & healthy and b) to take advantage of additional resources available to offer comfort to our employees and clients alike.

Our team at The BrickKicker will remain committed to delivering full operational support throughout the weeks and months ahead. For the continued safety of all our employees and staff, we are still asking to keep the number of those attending the inspection to a bare minimum, if any at all. Our inspectors are equipped with SentriLock access (with proper agent approval) and take plenty of photos during the inspection to produce a very detailed report. Oh, and no need need to be a worry of missing valuable information or stress over deadlines, our team is great about getting the reports out within 24 hours or often the same day.

Each inspector will be disinfecting all tools, self and vehicles after each inspection and may even wear gloves and masks on sight. This will help ensure we minimize the spread of this disease as much as possible.

In addition, our staff is fully available as if we never shut down, via phone or website to answer any questions that come up once reviewing the inspection report. The inspection is often an educational session, we must not lose sight of this. To make things as efficient and safe as possible, our inspection agreement and payment can be made electronically, via the confirmation email that went out upon booking.

We wish to remind our clients that we have a full service team supporting all your needs and it is the strength of our team that will allow us to continue to maintain our high service levels in the months ahead.

In fact, The BrickKicker isn’t stopping here to service our customers during this difficult time. We have expanded our availability and will assist with pricing concerns as they arise in order to keep services going. 

Despite taking all precautions, we strongly recommend our clients to contact us in regards to changing inspection dates in the short term, and to provide us with any questions they have up front so that we can ensure all gets answered by the time the report is delivered.

Finally, please do not hesitate to contact me via email or call with any requests or questions you may have.

Thank you,

President
