How often should a chimney be cleaned?
Why the standard is a yearly inspection, when a chimney actually needs sweeping, and what to check before your first fire.
Leak around the chimney: call a roofer or a chimney company?
Where chimney leaks start, which ones a roofer handles, and which ones need a chimney company.
White stains and crumbling brick on your chimney
What white stains and flaking brick on a chimney tell you, and why sealing the brick usually isn't the fix.
Level 1, 2 or 3 chimney inspection: which one you need
What each inspection level covers, when you need a Level 2, and what a regular home inspection leaves out.
Rusted chase cover or missing chimney cap
