Home Inspection Of A Fireplace

As a NC licensed home inspector, we are not required to walk a roof. Roofs are not ment to be walked on. If you want the roof walked on, hire a roofer. I recommend on my reports (with fireplaces) to have a professioinal chimney sweep. Fireplaces are inspected at the opening and to the damper. Chimneys are inspected from the ground using binos. Only way to properly inspect the chimney for safety and structural is to have it inspected by a chimney sweep.

...So obviously it was not sealed to fireplace. I'm a law abiding person, we all make our mistakes in the field, but dam, we we realy get hell from people sometimes. How isit these con men are getting away with it!

sweep here, i'd say that more like 99 percent of chimney's need repairs and about 99.9 percent of homeowners neglect to have there chimney systems cleaned no matter what they are venting, be it wood burning, propane, or oil.....i always get the i burn oil i dont have to have my chimney swept, that's a farse, espcially with masonry chimney, run a stainless liner and maintain it with a fundamental chimney, could last forever

Do you want to hear a dirty joke....? Yes..Jock the Coal man

The real problem with a improper chimney is that it can cause safety hazard. Calling in the experts quickly is the best option.

stop making videos, you're a typical home inspector( a dumbass).

I'm surprised that the inspection didn't make an effort to look up the chimney and go on the roof and look down the flue. Even though he is correct about the firebox problems, he could of been more thorough.
