Every home inspector has that one thing they dread inspecting… and for me, it’s chimneys! 😡😤
From the ground, everything might look perfectly fine. But once you start looking closer, there’s a whole different story!
🚨 Things that can go wrong with chimneys:
🧱 Crumbling mortar and deteriorating bricks
💧 Water intrusion, leaks, and damaged flashing
🔥 Missing or deteriorated chimney liners
⚠️ Cracked flue tiles and hidden fire hazards
🐦 Animal nests and blockages
🏚️ Leaning chimneys and structural deterioration
💸 Expensive repairs that can easily catch homeowners off guard!
A chimney isn’t just a stack of bricks on the roof. Defects can create fire hazards, allow carbon monoxide to enter the home, and lead to costly structural damage.
Moral of the story? Just because a chimney looks good from the outside doesn’t mean it’s safe on the inside!
