"Mike here with tri county inspections and in today's video I'm here at a house on this beautiful sunny snowy day. We're looking at the exterior here, so this is a uh masonry chimney and as you can see as you go up... this thing's starting to pull apart from the house. Actually obviously it needs some other work but it's kind of leaning and pulling apart so these are just some of the things we look for when we do inspections, especially on the exterior. Chimneys, I would say are probably one of the most neglected things in a house that I see. Especially because it's on the top. No homeowners ever go up there; nobody ever looks at them so it's definitely an important component and should require maintenance and repair on a sort of regular basis. So obviously this one needs some major attention here. That's one of the things we look for. Mike Tri County inspections and that's one more reason to get an inspection. Have a great day."
