What a Level 2 chimney inspection includes
A Level 2 chimney inspection is more detailed than a Level 1 inspection and is necessary when certain changes are made to your chimney or hearth system.
When a Level 2 Inspection is Required
A Level 2 chimney inspection is necessary if there are changes to the chimney system such as relining, a new appliance, or if the property is being transferred. It is also required after an operational malfunction or external event that may have damaged the chimney.
Unlike a Level 1 inspection, which is a quick check, the Level 2 inspection includes accessing areas like crawl spaces and attics. It is comprehensive and ensures safety before any major use or sale of the property.
What the Inspection Covers
During a Level 2 inspection, a technician looks for issues with the chimney structure and flue, checking for damages or blockages. This includes a visual and potentially a video scan of the interior flue.
The inspection will identify any issues like cracks or deterioration that could lead to dangerous situations. It ensures that the chimney is operating efficiently and safely, complying with local regulations and standards.
Benefits of a Level 2 Inspection
A Level 2 inspection can prevent potential hazards caused by structural problems or poor installation. It can catch issues early, reducing the risk of fire and ensuring that no harmful gases are leaking into your home.
Regular inspections help maintain the value of your home and can provide peace of mind, knowing your chimney is clear and safe for use.
