A home inspection is often just the beginning. Depending on the property, additional testing and specialty inspections can provide valuable insight into concerns that aren’t addressed during a standard home inspection.
In addition to thorough residential and commercial inspections, The BrickKicker of Vermont offers radon testing, water quality testing, indoor air quality testing, mold sampling, Level II chimney inspections, solar inspections, and pre-drywall inspections. Combined with detailed digital reports and knowledgeable inspectors, we provide the information you need to better understand your property.
Residential properties vary widely across Vermont, from historic farmhouses to modern mountain homes. We evaluate each property thoroughly so you know what needs to be done upfront.
Commercial property purchases require careful due diligence. At BrickKicker, we inspect office buildings, retail spaces, and all business facilities, ensuring you make the right decisions.
New construction homes can still have installation errors or workmanship concerns. Our construction phase inspections help identify visible issues before key stages are completed, giving builders and buyers an opportunity to address concerns early.

The right services depend on the property and your goals. Radon testing is recommended for most Vermont homes, while water quality testing is often recommended for properties served by a private well. Homes with a wood stove or fireplace may benefit from a Level II chimney inspection. Many clients also choose indoor air quality testing to better understand what they’re breathing inside the home, particularly if there are concerns about odors, allergies, moisture, or overall indoor air quality. If you’re unsure which services are right for your property, our team is happy to help you choose the options that best fit your needs.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Because elevated radon levels are common throughout Vermont, testing is recommended for nearly every home, regardless of its age, location, or construction type.
We offer several water testing options, including bacteria testing, FHA and VA compliant water testing, comprehensive water quality testing, and PFAS testing. Whether your home is served by a private well or you’re meeting lender requirements, we can help determine the testing that’s appropriate for your situation.
A Level II chimney inspection is a more detailed evaluation than a standard visual inspection and is commonly recommended during a real estate transaction or after changes to a chimney system. Using specialized camera equipment, we inspect the accessible interior of the flue to identify visible defects, deterioration, obstructions, and other conditions that may require attention.

We perform commercial property inspections for a variety of building types, including office buildings, retail spaces, mixed-use properties, restaurants, multifamily buildings, and other commercial facilities. Every commercial inspection is customized to meet the client’s goals and the property’s specific characteristics.

These inspections assess accessible components of the system and can provide valuable information during a real estate transaction or as part of ongoing property maintenance.
Yes. New homes can still have installation errors or workmanship concerns. We offer both pre-drywall inspections and final new construction inspections to help identify visible issues before construction is completed or before closing.
Every property is different. Factors such as the home’s age, water source, heating system, presence of a chimney or solar panels, and your specific concerns can all influence which services are appropriate. If you’re unsure, simply contact our team and we’ll help you select the services that best fit your property and your needs.
Choosing one inspection company for your home inspection and additional testing can simplify the entire process. Instead of coordinating multiple companies, The BrickKicker of Vermont can often perform your home inspection along with radon testing, water quality testing, indoor air quality testing, chimney inspections, solar inspections, and other specialty services during the same project. This saves time, streamlines communication, and provides a more complete picture of the property’s condition through one trusted team.
