What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection provides a thorough check for safety and damage, especially important when making changes or after severe weather.
What Triggers a Level 2 Inspection?
A Level 2 chimney inspection is usually required when there's a change in heating systems, during the sale of a property, or if damage from a severe weather event is suspected. This inspection goes beyond the basic check, ensuring the chimney's safety and integrity.
Unlike a basic Level 1 inspection, a Level 2 inspection uses video scanning to examine hidden areas of the chimney structure. This is crucial for uncovering hidden damage that might not be visible otherwise, maintaining the safety of the home.
What to Expect During the Inspection
During a Level 2 inspection, professionals will inspect all accessible parts of the chimney, including attics, crawl spaces, and basements. This comprehensive approach ensures any potential issues are identified and addressed.
The process includes examining the chimney’s structure and clearance from combustibles in accessible locations. These steps are key to preventing unseen hazards from affecting the safety of your home.
The Importance of Professional Assessment
A professional chimney inspector has the necessary tools and experience to conduct a Level 2 inspection efficiently. This ensures that all parts of the chimney and venting system are safe and functional.
By scheduling a Level 2 inspection, homeowners can not only meet safety requirements but also potentially increase the value of their home, as buyers often look favorably on homes with recent thorough inspections.
