01 / A CLOSER LOOK

Identify every system

List each fireplace, stove, insert, and connected flue. Request available model information, installation records, permits, inspection reports, and repairs. A decorative surround does not identify the appliance behind it.

02 / THE HOMEOWNER PERSPECTIVE

Confirm the inspection scope

Ask what the home inspection covers and whether a chimney specialist should evaluate concealed or inaccessible areas. Ask the specialist which inspection standard and scope fit a property transfer in your location.

Your home in Connecticut.

Good fireplace care is easier to plan when the home's records are together. Connecticut Chimney Pros pairs inspection and maintenance questions with careful decisions about masonry, appliance repairs, and the next heating season.

Make the report usable

Request clear photographs, findings by appliance or flue, limits of inspection, recommended repairs, and guidance about use. Keep unresolved questions in writing before making a decision.
