CF-2 Chimneys and Fireplaces - Solid Fuel Fireplaces:
Accurate inspection of the chimney flues lie beyond the scope of the General Home Inspection. Although the Inspector may make comments on the condition of the portion of the flues readily visible, a full, accurate evaluation of the flue condition would require the services of a specialist. Because the accumulation of flammable materials in the flue is a natural result of the wood-burning process is a potential fire hazard, we recommend that you have the flue inspected by a Qualified Contractor.

CF-3 Chimneys and Fireplaces - Solid Fuel Fireplaces:
This was an open style gas log starter and the flue damper must be locked open. No C-clamp was found to ensure that the damper cannot be closed accidentally when the gas valve is opened. Install a proper clamp for the flue to ensure safe performance.
