Levels of Chimney Inspection
- Level 1 Inspection: Standard annual inspection. Visual examination of accessible areas of the chimney, fireplace, and venting system. Recommended for chimneys in regular use — pair it with a professional chimney sweep.
- Level 2 Inspection: Required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or when making changes to the system. Includes video scanning of the flue interior plus everything in Level 1.
- Level 3 Inspection: When serious hazards are suspected. May involve removal of chimney components for access. This level often leads to chimney repair recommendations.
