Boston, MA
With so much of Greater Boston's housing stock built decades before modern liner standards, inspection here is as much about the liner as the exterior.
Inspection covers the cap, crown, flashing, liner and flue, frequently with a camera scope down the flue itself — especially valuable in a region with this much older masonry.
We check the exterior cap, crown and flashing, then run a camera down the flue to assess the liner — often the single most important thing to confirm in older Boston-area homes.
Freeze-thaw cycling through a long winter is the single biggest driver of the damage we find on inspection here, more than any other cause.
