What Is Chimney Inspection Level 2 and Why Does It Matter?

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection is a more in-depth inspection that includes video scanning of the flue liner and a thorough examination of all accessible areas, including attics, crawl spaces, and basements.

This inspection is recommended when the chimney has been exposed to extreme conditions, such as a chimney fire, strong storm, or fuel type conversion. It is also required when selling a property to verify the structural integrity of the chimney.

Why Every Chimney Needs a Level 2 Inspection

Think of a Level 2 inspection as a comprehensive health check for your chimney. Here’s why it’s essential:

  • Uncover Hidden Damage: Video scanning detects cracks, gaps, and blockages inside the flue that are not visible during a Level 1 inspection.
  • Ensure Compliance for Real Estate Transactions: Level 2 inspections are required when selling a property, ensuring the chimney is safe and up to code.
  • Post-Chimney Fire Assessment: Fires can cause extensive internal damage that must be thoroughly inspected to prevent future risks.

Signs You Need a Chimney Inspection Level 2

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time for a Level 2 inspection:

  • Recent chimney fire or severe weather event
  • Installation of a new stove or insert
  • Property sale or transfer of ownership
  • Persistent smoke backup despite regular cleanings
