Chimney

A chimney with SIGNIFICANT cracking and/or separating of bricks or leaning should be noted as a major. Slight hairline cracking with little to no separation would be a minor issue. Severe tuck-pointing needed due to crumbling mortar between bricks should be noted as a major, however slight crumbling of a few bricks is only a minor condition issue.
