What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection is more detailed than a basic check and is crucial for safety.
When a Level 2 Inspection is Needed
A Level 2 chimney inspection is typically required when there is a change in the system, such as a new flue system installation or after a major chimney event like a chimney fire. It is also advised if you are selling your home or if your chimney experienced a significant weather event.
This inspection involves a thorough visual check of both the accessible areas of the flue and chimney's exterior and interior, along with video scanning. This helps to identify any hidden issues that might not be visible during a basic Level 1 inspection.
Steps Involved in a Level 2 Inspection
During a Level 2 inspection, the professional will access various parts of your chimney, possibly including attics and basements, to ensure no part of the chimney has been damaged or is malfunctioning.
The inspector uses specialized tools and cameras to examine the internal surfaces of the chimney system thoroughly. This helps in diagnosing any structural deficiencies, blockages, or potential fire hazards that aren't visible from the outside.
Benefits of a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection can prevent serious and expensive repairs by catching minor issues early. It ensures your chimney system is safe, efficient, and compliant with local codes.
Regular inspections also improve the longevity of the chimney and fireplace, giving homeowners peace of mind and ensuring that the system operates effectively and safely. This inspection provides a clear understanding of your chimney's condition and necessary maintenance.
