It is not recommended that you clean and inspect your own chimney. Chimney cleaning and inspection requires specialized knowledge and equipment, and can be dangerous if not done properly. It is best to leave this task to the professionals. A qualified chimney cleaner will have the necessary knowledge and equipment to clean and inspect your chimney safely and effectively.

Yes, you can do it yourself, but it's not recommended. Chimneys should be cleaned and inspected by a professional at least once a year. Failure to do so could result in a chimney fire or other serious problems.
