What you can safely DIY
Visual inspection with a flashlight, exterior debris clearing from the cap area (from a stable ladder, not the roof), and photo-documentation of concerns. That's the safe list.
What needs a pro
Anything requiring roof access, working chemicals or sealants, disturbing masonry, disassembling the appliance, or interpreting a scan. The insurance and liability exposure on DIY liner install is disproportionate to the cost savings.
The New Tecumseth rental market angle
Landlord liner install DIY on rental units in New Tecumseth voids most policies and shifts full liability to the owner under RTA §20. Not worth it.
