3. CHIMNEY CAPS:
Mesh type chimney caps must have provision for regular cleaning, or the mesh should
be removed to eliminate the potential of plugging.

The fireplace should be inspected to make sure that there is adequate clearance to
combustibles, both exposed combustibles to the top, side, and front as well as
concealed combustibles, in the chimney and mantle area. Your local inspector should
have information on whether older fireplaces are of adequate construction.
