In Clayton's older masonry chimneys, the most common finding is creosote accumulated over multiple unchecked burning seasons — Glen Laurel and historic downtown homes in particular often haven't had a professional sweep in years. Newer gas-direct-vent systems in Flowers Plantation present differently, typically needing inspection for proper venting rather than creosote removal.
The second issue varies by which Clayton you're in — older homes often show crown or liner deterioration from decades of exposure, while newer gas-direct-vent installations occasionally have venting configuration issues from the build process. We document conditions with photos before any work begins and explain findings clearly.
