What Level 2 Inspection Includes

Level 2 chimney inspections go beyond the reach of a level 1 basic inspection. When you hire experts for a level 2 chimney inspection, they will:
  • Visually inspect the chimney: An interior and exterior inspection will be performed to identify any problems.
  • Analyze the chimney’s structural integrity: Technicians will run tests to ensure that the chimney is strong enough to stay in place and function.
  • Inspect appliances: A check of connected appliances will be performed to ensure proper operation regarding the chimney.
  • Examine attached structures: Technicians will look over the crawl space, attic, or other spaces where the chimney is attached.
  • Visually inspect the chimney flue with a camera or scope: A thin camera will be used to closely examine the inside of the chimney.
Regular chimney inspections are essential for several reasons. Creosote buildup can block airflow, resulting in smoke collection inside the home. Damaged bricks and mortar can lead to dangerous crumbing of the chimney flue. Working with experts to uncover problems and fix them before damage is done is important.
