Level 2 Inspection Service Description

When to Choose Level 1 vs. Level 2

Follow these tips to know when to book a Level 1 or Level 2 chimney inspection. This way, your family can use the chimney and fireplace safely for years.
The Chimney Safety Institute of America says a Level 1 inspection is right if your appliance and venting have not changed and you plan to use them as before.
In short, a Level 1 inspection is the basic check.

Level 2 Video Inspection — Overview

Our Level 2 video inspection takes a deeper look inside the chimney. It goes beyond a quick visual check. As a result, hidden issues are easier to find and fix, so the system stays safe and works well.

What It Includes:

• ✔ Full Look End to End: First, we run a video camera through the full flue, top to bottom. This helps us see areas a normal check may miss.
• ✔ Find Hidden Trouble: Next, we look for cracks, blocks, and damage in the chimney. This can help prevent fires and carbon monoxide leaks.
• ✔ Safety Rules: Also, we follow NFPA 211 chimney rules, so the system meets code and works as it should.
• ✔ Clear Report: Then, we give you a plain-language report with video. It lists any issues and suggests repairs or care.
• ✔ Peace of Mind: Finally, you know the chimney was checked the right way. This is helpful when buying or selling a home.

Why Choose a Level 2 Video Inspection?

• ✔ Home Sales: For example, buyers and sellers use it to confirm the chimney is in good shape and avoid last-minute surprises.
• ✔ After Damage: In addition, it is ideal after a chimney fire, lightning strike, or quake.
• ✔ Yearly Care: Moreover, regular checks can catch small issues early, so they do not turn into big repairs.
