If nobody has looked at the chimney in a while, or you're buying a house with a fireplace, a chimney and flue inspection is the usual first step. It shows whether the flue is clear and the structure is sound before you light a fire.
Water stains near the fireplace, loose bricks or a crumbling crown point toward repairing the chimney itself. If birds, squirrels or rain keep getting in from the top, fitting a cap on the chimney is often the simplest fix.
