Hello, looking for opinions of the condition of the chimney in the video (follow link). Specifically, do you see any cracks? The degree and type of creosote formation? What service the homeowner should expect to perform as a result of the video?

Bad mortar joints and some cracked tiles. It needs a liner.

Looks terrible to me and I would put in a liner agreeing with bholler.. clancey

IMO, looks like a lot of places for creosote to build up, time for a liner and be done with it except routine cleaning.

I am spoiled from my years when I would hire contractors to inspect industrial pipes. The rigs we used had the capability to rotate the camera head so we could look straight on at the joints and odd spots.
