Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Experts suggest your HVAC system should be inspected once per year. If you’re buying a new home, it’s also a good idea to have the house’s HVAC system professionally checked before the final sale. For HVAC systems older than 10 years, it’s recommended they are inspected twice per year. If you suspect a problem, you should schedule an inspection, even if you’ve already had one this year.

While a hygrometer is the most accurate tool for measuring humidity levels in the home, you can gauge humidity levels using simpler methods. One way is by observing signs like condensation on windows or feeling excessively sticky or clammy indoors, indicating higher humidity. Another DIY approach involves the “hair method”—aka placing a few strands of human hair in a closed container with salt for several hours. If the hair becomes limp, it's likely due to high humidity. These methods offer rough estimations, but lack the precision of a hygrometer for accurate readings.

Replacing older chimneys or fireplaces, like wood-burning stoves, with something more eco-friendly can actually increase the value of your home. Some homeowners opt to remove chimneys as they pursue LEED certification, which may also increase the value of your home. But in general, many potential buyers actually look for operational fireplaces in homes, so removing a chimney and fireplace could decrease your home’s value by up to $5,000.

A home foundation inspection takes between one and two hours, depending on the size of the house and if the inspector finds any issues that require further investigation. The foundation specialist or structural engineer will evaluate the foundation's condition by inspecting many parts of the home, including windows and doors, trimwork, attic and roof, and interior and exterior walls, as well as the foundation itself.

Yes, if your home inspection reveals issues with the property you intend to buy, you may come up with a counter-offer. Your counter-offer should consider all necessary repairs and how much they’ll likely cost you. It’s important to find a good balance between your desired selling price and asking price to increase the chances of an offer acceptance.
