Frequently Asked Questions
Is a chimney inspection part of a home inspection?
Usually not in depth. Most home inspectors only look at the chimney from the outside. A chimney inspection looks inside the flue and at the parts a general inspector can't reach.
How often should a chimney be inspected?
Fire safety standards (NFPA 211) recommend an inspection once a year.
