Understanding Chimney Inspection
July, 16th, 2026 5pm CT
Join in on this webinar on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT. Internal chimney scanning can reveal conditions that are not visible from readily accessible exterior areas and may provide critical insight into the safety and integrity of chimney systems. This webinar is designed to help home inspectors understand what may be seen during an internal chimney scan and how those observations can assist in identifying potentially significant defects in both masonry and factory-built chimneys.
The presentation will cover common internal findings such as flue damage; liner deterioration; joint failure; combustible clearance concerns; corrosion; evidence of moisture intrusion; improper modifications; and signs of heat-related damage or other distress. It will also address the differences between masonry and factory-built chimney systems so attendees can better distinguish what conditions may be characteristic of each type and why those distinctions matter.
The focus of this session is not to turn a general home inspector into a chimney specialist, but to improve recognition of notable internal defects, strengthen hazard awareness, and support clearer reporting when potentially serious conditions are present. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how internal chimney imaging can supplement an inspection, what types of defects may warrant further action, and why these findings can have important safety implications.
