Chimney Issues I See All the Time

Took this photo during a recent roof inspection — and it’s a perfect example of something many buyers overlook.

🚨 What’s going on here:

Rusted chimney cap and metal components
Deteriorating flashing around the base
Potential for water intrusion over time

💡 Chimneys are one of the most common sources of roof leaks — especially when flashing starts to fail.

From the ground, everything might look fine… but up close, problems like this can lead to costly repairs if not addressed.

✔ This is exactly why a professional home inspection matters.
