What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection is more detailed than a basic check-up. Here's what you can expect from this type of inspection.
Visual and Internal Inspection
During a Level 2 chimney inspection, technicians conduct a thorough visual inspection of the chimney from the roof and inside the home. This includes checking for structural damage and obstructions.
The technician also uses cameras to inspect the interior of the flue for any cracks or buildup that might not be visible from a basic inspection. This step is crucial for identifying hidden issues.
Examination of Accessible Areas
In addition to the flue, the inspection covers other accessible areas of the chimney, including the attic and basement if the chimney passes through them. The goal is to detect issues that could affect performance or safety.
Inspectors look for signs of moisture or any structural wear and tear in these areas. Finding these early can prevent more significant issues from developing over time.
Assessment of Previous Repairs
A Level 2 inspection includes reviewing any past repairs or modifications to the chimney. This helps ensure all parts of the chimney system are up to current safety standards.
Technicians may also offer recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance to improve safety and performance, ensuring your fireplace and chimney function properly.
