What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection provides a comprehensive assessment of your chimney's condition, especially after any changes or damage.
When is a Level 2 Inspection Needed?
A Level 2 chimney inspection is recommended when there are changes to your system, such as a new appliance installation, a property sale, or after severe weather events. It's also required if a Level 1 inspection raises any red flags that warrant a deeper look.
This inspection involves all visual assessments from a Level 1 but also includes a more detailed examination with video scanning or other tools to assess the internal areas of the flue and chimney structure that aren't visible to the naked eye.
What the Inspection Covers
During a Level 2 inspection, technicians will inspect the chimney's exterior and interior, check clearances and accessible areas of the attic, basement, or crawl space. They use cameras to inspect the flue for blockages or damage.
The chimney cap, crown, flashing, and other components will be thoroughly examined for any signs of wear or damage. The focus is on ensuring the system is safe for use and complies with local and national safety codes.
After the Inspection
Post-inspection, you will receive a detailed report that outlines any issues found and recommended repairs if necessary. This documentation can be crucial for home sales or insurance purposes.
The findings from a Level 2 inspection will help you understand the current state of your chimney and prioritize maintenance or repairs to maintain its safety and efficiency.
