Whether you’ve recently bought a home with a chimney or have been living in one and want to assess its condition, scheduling an inspection is a prudent decision. How can you tell if a chimney inspection is necessary? A thoroughly maintained and inspected chimney is vital for ensuring your family’s safety in the event of a fire. An inspection can reveal whether your chimney is in good shape and if any repairs or maintenance are required. This process involves examining the exterior of the chimney, the flashing, as well as the fireplace and firebox.
