Chimney Inspection Levels 1, 2 and 3
Open now. No obligation.
| Level | What it covers | When it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Readily accessible parts, visual | Routine annual check, nothing changed |
| Level 2 | Adds attic, crawl space and flue interior by camera | Property sale, appliance change, after a chimney fire |
| Level 3 | Adds removal of masonry or components | Only when a serious hazard is suspected |
Level 2 is the one that comes up in a sale. Book it early, because remediation takes much longer than the inspection.
