When Is a Level 2 Inspection Necessary?
A Level 2 chimney inspection is often required when selling your home or after a significant event like an earthquake. It involves a more detailed examination than a basic Level 1 inspection.
During a Level 2 inspection, technicians use specialized tools to access normally concealed areas, ensuring the entire chimney structure is sound.
Tools Used During Inspection
In a Level 2 inspection, video scanning equipment is typically used to look closely at the interior of the flue and other hard-to-see areas.
This technology helps identify any hidden damage or buildup, providing a clear view to assess the chimney's overall condition.
Expectations and Outcomes
Expect a thorough report detailing findings about the chimney's condition, which can include recommendations for repairs if needed.
The inspection helps prevent potential hazards by identifying issues like cracks, blockages, or deterioration that could lead to bigger problems if left unaddressed.
