What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection offers a more detailed look compared to a basic visual check, often necessary when selling a home or after changes to the fireplace system.
When a Level 2 Inspection is Required
Level 2 inspections are needed when a home is bought or sold, after events like a chimney fire, or when changes are made to the system, ensuring safety and proper function.
During these inspections, technicians look for structural damage, check clearances and accessible areas, and use video scanning to evaluate the insides more thoroughly.
Tools Used in Level 2 Inspections
A special video camera is used to inspect the flue, helping technicians identify hidden issues like cracks or other damages that are not visible from the outside.
This inspection doesn't involve any dismantling of the chimney or other parts but provides a comprehensive view of the internal condition of your chimney.
What the Inspection Covers
Inspectors evaluate the chimney's structure, checking for any signs of damage or deterioration that could pose a risk.
They also assess the parts of the home near the chimney, ensuring proper clearances and that there are no combustible materials too close to the chimney.
