What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes

When is a Level 2 Inspection Required?

A Level 2 chimney inspection is necessary when you make any changes to your heating system, like installing a new appliance that uses the chimney or if you've experienced a fire in your chimney. It’s also recommended when selling your home, as it provides a thorough check of the chimney's condition.

The inspection involves a visual review by a chimney technician and may use special tools or video scanning to inspect hidden areas. It ensures no structural damage or blockages exist that could affect your fireplace's operation.

What's Included in the Inspection?

During a Level 2 inspection, the chimney professional examines all accessible parts of the chimney, including those in attics, crawl spaces, and basements. This level of inspection is more comprehensive compared to a Level 1 inspection. It’s designed to identify potential issues that aren't immediately visible.

If any problems like cracks or water damage are detected, they will advise on necessary repairs. This type of inspection is crucial for ensuring your chimney's safety and preventing costly future repairs.

Why Choose Level 2?

Choosing a Level 2 inspection provides peace of mind by checking areas not typically covered in a basic inspection. This is especially important for older homes or those with recent changes in heating systems. It ensures that your chimney is in top shape for safe operation.

Having a Level 2 inspection done by professionals ensures that any hidden issues are addressed before they become larger problems, keeping your home safe and your heating system efficient.
