What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection is essential when you've made changes to your chimney or when selling your home.
What's a Level 2 Inspection?
A Level 2 inspection is a more detailed examination of your chimney than a basic Level 1. It's necessary if you've changed your heating system, had a chimney fire, or are selling the property. It involves a visual inspection of the chimney's exterior and interior, including attic, basement, and crawl space areas, if accessible.
The inspection also includes a video scan of the flue to check for any hidden damage or obstructions. This allows the technician to identify issues that might not be visible during a standard inspection, ensuring your chimney is safe and efficient.
When You Need a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection is recommended when there have been significant changes to the fireplace, like new equipment installations or a change in fuel type. Additionally, if you’ve had any sort of chimney incident, such as a fire or earthquake, a Level 2 inspection helps ensure no hidden damage exists.
It's also required during the sale of a property. Lenders or insurance companies may demand it to ensure the chimney’s integrity before finalizing transactions.
Benefits of a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection can uncover issues early, preventing costly repairs later. With advanced tools like video scanning, it gives a clearer picture of your chimney's condition, including the interior areas and flue that aren't visible otherwise.
By identifying issues such as flue damages, blockages, or structural concerns, you can address them promptly, ensuring safety and efficiency for your heating system.
