When to Get a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection is required when you change your heating system, after a chimney fire, or if the home is sold. This type of inspection is more detailed than a Level 1 and ensures your chimney is safe and sound.
It is also necessary if there has been a significant weather event such as a storm or earthquake. Understanding when a Level 2 inspection is needed helps maintain the safety and efficiency of your chimney.
What is Included in a Level 2 Inspection
The process includes a visual check of all accessible parts of the chimney, both interior and exterior. This includes the flue and interior surfaces using video scanning.
This inspection is non-invasive but thorough, ensuring that any structural issues or blockages are identified without damaging the chimney.
Benefits of a Level 2 Inspection
The detailed nature of a Level 2 inspection helps detect hidden issues that could lead to bigger problems if not addressed. This prevents safety hazards and costly repairs.
Regular Level 2 inspections give peace of mind, knowing that your chimney is in good operating condition and ready for use during the colder months.
