When You Need a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection is necessary when selling a home, after an operating malfunction, or following a major weather event. It's more thorough than a Level 1 inspection.
This inspection includes a visual check of accessible areas of the chimney, both inside and out, using specialized tools like video scanning equipment.
Tools and Techniques Used
Inspectors employ video scanning equipment to explore the interiors of your chimney that are not easily visible. This can reveal hidden issues within the flue.
The inspection covers everything from the chimney's exterior to the attic, basements, and crawl spaces to ensure nothing is overlooked.
What Inspectors Look For
The inspector will look for damage to the chimney structure or masonry, obstructions, and creosote buildup that could cause hazards.
The goal is to identify any issues that need repair to ensure the safe operation of your fireplace or heating appliance.
