Real Estate Chimney Inspections

A general home inspection doesn't always catch chimney problems. A dedicated chimney inspection gives buyers, sellers, and agents the full picture before closing.

Why a General Home Inspection May Not Be Enough

General home inspectors are thorough, but chimneys are a specialty. Here's what can be missed.

A general home inspection may only include a visual check of the fireplace opening
Flue conditions, liner integrity, and cap/crown issues are often not evaluated
Creosote buildup and draft problems require specialized tools to assess
Masonry deterioration above the roofline may not be inspected closely
A general inspector may note "chimney present" without evaluating its safety

What the Inspection Covers

A thorough evaluation of the entire chimney and fireplace system, top to bottom.

Firebox condition — cracks, deterioration, firebrick integrity
Damper operation — opens, closes, and seals properly
Flue evaluation — condition of the liner, signs of damage or deterioration
Cap and crown — present, functional, and protecting against water
Masonry condition — mortar joints, brick integrity, signs of water damage
Flashing — sealed properly where the chimney meets the roof
Creosote levels — accumulation that could affect safety
Water intrusion — signs of moisture, staining, or active leaks
Photo documentation — photos of significant findings
Written summary — clear report with findings and recommendations
