David, this is why I have a problem with the Stds. of Care not requiring inspectors to peek inside the chimney must less perform a proper level II. As you have demonstrated here, you cannot leave it to the system. People will suffer injuries, exposure, and the damage to equipment and homes will continue unabated.

You all know Stds. of Care are MINIMUM stds just as building codes, right? That means you can exceed them. This is a case where you definitely should. What good is a house you inspect that passes flying colors except for the fact it kills people? Each of you needs to read this thread, think about it then discuss it with your attorney.

Bob
