Understanding the Levels
Types of Chimney Inspections in Boston, MA
Level 1 Inspection
This is the basic performed inspection. It entails a visual inspection of the chimney's inside and outside, with an emphasis on ensuring the chimney is structurally sound and clear of blockages or creosote accumulation.
Level 2 Inspection
This is more thorough and is usually needed after a substantial change in your heating system, such as moving to a different fuel source or after an extreme weather situation. It looks into hidden areas like the flue and chimney liner and often uses a camera to analyze the situation.
Level 3 Inspection
This is for more complicated circumstances or when Level 2 inspections indicate possible threats that necessitate additional examination. This may need the demolition of portions of the chimney to get access to difficult-to-reach locations for a thorough examination.
The level of inspection necessary depends on several criteria, such as the age and history of your chimney, the type of fuel you use, and any special problems or difficulties you’ve seen.
