Why Is a Level 2 Chimney Inspection Important?

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection is a more detailed evaluation of your chimney compared to a basic Level 1 inspection. It involves everything covered in a Level 1 inspection, with the addition of a more in-depth examination of hidden areas using specialized tools like video scanning technology to assess the chimney’s interior.

This type of inspection is required when:

  • You’ve changed or upgraded your heating system (eg, switching from a wood stove to a gas fireplace).
  • You’ve had a chimney fire, earthquake, or severe weather event that may have caused damage.
  • You’re buying or selling a home and need a complete chimney evaluation.
  • You’ve noticed performance issues like excessive smoke, poor ventilation, or strange odors coming from your chimney.

A Level 2 inspection helps identify hidden problems that could lead to costly repairs or dangerous situations if left unchecked.

Why Is a Level 2 Chimney Inspection Important?

1. Identifying Hidden Dangers

Many chimney problems go unnoticed because they occur inside the flue or behind the walls. Cracks, gaps, or structural weaknesses can lead to dangerous gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, or even fires. A Level 2 inspection uses advanced tools to detect these risks before they become hazardous.

2. Preventing Costly Repairs

Minor chimney issues can quickly turn into expensive repairs if ignored. By identifying early signs of deterioration, such as liner damage, blockages, or moisture intrusion, homeowners can avoid major repair costs down the line.

3. Ensuring Proper Ventilation & Safety Compliance

A poorly functioning chimney can reduce indoor air quality , leading to carbon monoxide buildup, increased fire risks, and inefficiency in heating your home. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns that carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly, making proper chimney function a critical safety concern.

4. Meeting Real Estate & Insurance Requirements

If you’re selling your home, a Level 2 inspection provides a detailed assessment that potential buyers and home inspectors may request. Many insurance companies require this inspection after a chimney-related incident before providing coverage.

What Does a Level 2 Chimney Inspection Include?

A Level 2 Chimney Inspection includes:

  • A complete visual inspection of the chimney’s structure, both inside and out.
  • A video scan of the flue liner to detect cracks, damage, or blockages.
  • Assessment of chimney clearances to ensure proper safety distances from combustible materials.
  • Examination of venting systems to confirm they are functioning correctly.
  • Inspection of the chimney cap, crown, and flashing to prevent water damage.

If any issues are detected, we provide a full report with recommended solutions, whether it’s simple maintenance or necessary repairs.

Signs You Need a Level 2 Chimney Inspection

Even if you haven’t experienced a major chimney event, there are warning signs that indicate you may need a Level 2 inspection sooner rather than later:

  • Cracked or deteriorating bricks and mortar
  • Excessive creosote buildup or a strong smoky odor
  • Water leaks around the chimney or inside your home
  • A history of chimney fires or past storm damage
  • Sudden poor chimney performance, including smoke backup

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to costly damage and safety hazards. If you notice any of these, it’s time to schedule an inspection.
