A chimney can be a hidden cost for a buyer and a sticking point for a seller. A clear report solves both.
Most home inspections look at the chimney only from the ground or at the firebox. That leaves the flue, the crown and the cap unchecked, and those are the parts that cost money when they fail. A buyer who finds a cracked flue after closing has a large bill. A seller whose buyer discovers a problem late has a nervous deal.
A chimney-specific inspection gives both sides facts. We inspect, scan the flue with a camera when it is wise and deliver photos and a report in plain language. Buyers know what they are buying. Sellers can fix issues first or show that the chimney has been cared for.
