This is good advice. I bought an old farm house a few years ago and didn't put enough thought into the chimneys. My home inspection was just your "run of the mill" home inspection (fairly worthless) and mentioned nothing of the chimneys. Of course neither of the chimneys were lined (one for a wood stove, another for a furnace) and that didn't help me sleep at night. I had both taken care of and it cost about $4K.
