In Cary's established homes, the most common finding isn't just creosote — it's liner condition. A 30-year-old clay tile liner has typically endured decades of thermal cycling, and we regularly find hairline cracks or spalling that wouldn't be visible without a proper inspection. Creosote accumulation on top of an aging liner compounds the risk significantly.
The second issue we regularly find in Cary's older homes is crown deterioration from decades of NC freeze-thaw cycles — water intrusion through a cracked crown is often the root cause of liner damage we find elsewhere in the system. We document all conditions with photos before any work begins and explain every finding in plain language.
