Visual and Accessible Inspection
A Level 2 inspection involves a thorough visual examination of all accessible areas of the chimney. This means the technician will closely inspect the fireplace and chimney exterior, as well as readily reachable places inside attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
Unlike a basic Level 1 inspection, a Level 2 will involve a more in-depth look at the chimney and its components without requiring special tools or removing parts of the structure.
Video Scanning
One of the key parts of a Level 2 inspection is video scanning. This allows the technician to examine the chimney flue's interior closely, looking for damages or blockages that might not be noticed during a visual inspection.
The video scan helps detect any buildup or hidden issues that can compromise safety, ensuring that the flue is clear and functioning correctly. This method offers detailed insights beyond what the naked eye can see.
Documenting Findings
After the inspection, the technician will document any findings, providing a detailed report on the condition of your chimney. This report includes recommendations for repairs or maintenance needed to ensure safety and efficiency.
This level of documentation is especially important for property transactions, providing assurance that the chimney is in good working order or identifying concerns that need to be addressed.
