Level 1 & Level 2 Chimney Inspections

Not all inspections are the same. We follow industry standards to provide the right level of care for your home:

Level 1 Inspection

A standard visual check of the fireplace and accessible parts of the chimney. Recommended for chimneys in continuous use under the same conditions.

Level 2 Inspection

A more in-depth review, often involving specialized cameras to inspect the flue lining from top to bottom. Essential for real estate transactions, or after a chimney fire or weather event.
