Level 2 chimney inspection with video scan
This service combines chimney sweeping with a detailed Level 2 inspection and internal video scan. We evaluate readily accessible portions of the fireplace or connected hearth appliance, firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue, chimney exterior, termination, and accessible venting connections. Accessible attics, crawl spaces, and basements are reviewed when they contain part of the chimney or venting system. Photo and/or video documentation helps explain visible damage, deposits, deterioration, clearance concerns, or installation conditions. Level 2 inspections are commonly recommended for property transfers, appliance or fuel changes, relining, suspected damage, chimney fires, severe weather events, or other changes to the system. Concealed areas are not opened or removed as part of this service; conditions requiring destructive investigation are Level 3 scope.
