Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Beyond having an inspection, it’s important to do chimney maintenance at least annually to be certain the chimney is safe to use. Cleaning the flue of any built-up particles, creosote, and soot reduces the risk of fire. Fortunately, the cost of hiring a pro to do a chimney inspection often includes a chimney cleaning, so you may not have an extra expense for maintenance.

As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property’s structure, it shouldn’t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer’s report before making a final decision.

In many cases, you can sell your house if it has aluminum wiring, but you are likely required to disclose that fact during the sale. In some cases, your city or area may have banned the sale of homes with aluminum wiring, so you’ll need to update the wiring or arrange for its replacement as part of the sale. In some cases, it will benefit your home sale to replace the wiring system before putting it on the market.

In most cases, you can negotiate after a home inspection and use the issues as leverage to bring down the purchase price of a home. The only exception would be if you waived the home inspection to make your offer more appealing to the seller. In that case, you can still have a home inspection done to identify issues, but you have no recourse to make a counteroffer after you get the inspection results.

Even if a homebuyer has no intention of using the fireplace installed in the home they’re thinking of buying, it’s vital to know when the fireplace and chimney were last inspected. Aside from learning that it can operate properly, homebuyers will want to know that the structures themselves are sound and won’t affect the integrity of the surrounding home. With full knowledge, homebuyers can then make plans for any necessary repairs before they move in.
