"Extremely accommodating and fit me in, just in the knick of time for my inspection window. Also Rob is so knowledgeable. He found a hole in the chimney cap. And knows what to do for it. The home inspector did not have this knowledge so Rob saved the day! I can’t wait to have him do the repair."

"Good work, honest dealers, fair price. I had a weirdly hard time even getting an estimate for a chimney cleaning. Some places want you to schedule the cleaning, after which they will perform an inspection and tell you what else needs to be done. Another place told me I needed another $2000 of repairs that I'm pretty sure are unnecessary. Gem came out quickly for an estimate for the cleaning and identified the limited crack repair, new caps, and waterproofing that would keep my chimney cap protected. Gem's technician Grace was great to deal with on the day of the work."

"I had my chimney inspected and cleaned, and the whole experience was excellent. The technician was on time, professional, and helped explain the condition of the chimney and what was being done for me to understand. The inspection was thorough, the cleaning was done efficiently, and everything was left spotless afterward. I really appreciated the clear communication and honest recommendations. I’d definitely use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone needing chimney services."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.

Inspect annually for damage, clean debris, and reapply sealant to maintain protection.

After you pass your wind mitigation inspection, you’ll receive a report you can send to your insurance company when you request a discount. This report is valid for five years. If you switch providers within that five-year window, your new insurer may ask you to get another inspection if you want a discounted premium.

While you can technically install new roof sheathing over an old layer, it is generally not recommended for several reasons. Installing new sheathing over old can trap moisture, which may lead to future problems, especially in humid climates. It also adds significant weight to the roof structure and prevents you from inspecting the original sheathing for rot, mold, or other damage.

However, in some cases, if the old sheathing has been thoroughly inspected and is in excellent condition with no signs of rotting, warping, or damage, a roofer may install new sheathing over it to add strength and stability. Despite this, the more common and recommended practice is to remove the old roof sheathing entirely before installing a new layer, as removing it is not a difficult task.

You should consider walking away from a home purchase after an inspection reveals major issues you are unprepared to deal with, such as structural damage, environmental problems, or significant issues with the roof or mechanical systems. These problems can cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix. Before making a decision, it's a good idea to get professional estimates for the repair costs to determine if the home is still worth buying. You should also consider external factors like the state of the housing market and how quickly you need to relocate.
