Most homeowners never think about their chimney…
until there’s a problem.
Even without cleaning, a standard inspection can reveal issues like:
• Missing or damaged chimney crown
• Deteriorated mortar joints
• No rain cap or spark screen
• No liner serving an oil-fired heating system
These aren’t just cosmetic.
They can allow:
– Water intrusion and internal damage
– Animal and pest entry
– Accelerated deterioration
– Increased fire risk depending on use and condition
The challenge is, from the ground…
everything can look completely normal.
That’s why even a basic chimney inspection can make a big difference in understanding what you actually have.

Mobile Home Owners: Hidden Pest Entry You Shouldn’t Ignore
This is something we come across regularly in mobile and manufactured home inspections—and it’s often missed.
Damaged or missing bottom boards create easy access for pests to enter, nest, and spread beneath the home. Over time, this can lead to insulation damage, energy loss, and conditions that allow moisture to build up.
The good news is that it’s typically a manageable repair. Restoring the bottom barrier and sealing openings can go a long way in protecting the home and preventing further issues.
If you own a mobile home, it’s worth taking a look underneath—this is one of those areas that makes a bigger difference than most people realize.
Deck Bad Mistake #1
Missing ledger flashing = hidden rot waiting to happen. Even newer decks get this wrong. Water gets in where you can’t see it—and the damage builds fast.
