Local context
The US Environmental Protection Agency’s Burn Wise pages say fire officials recommend getting a wood-burning appliance, chimney and vent professionally inspected each year to keep them in safe working order, and the US Fire Administration likewise says to have chimneys and vents cleaned and inspected at least once a year. Ask what an inspection will actually look at and what you receive in writing afterwards. Annual guidance is not a finding about the condition of your own chimney.
