Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Austin, TX
Need a closer look at what’s going on inside the chimney? A Level 2 video inspection can give us a better view of areas that are harder to understand from a basic visual check alone.
Do You Need a Closer Look at the Chimney?
Not every chimney concern needs the same type of inspection. A Level 2 inspection is intended for situations where there is a reason to look more closely at the chimney system and its condition.
Here are some situations where a closer inspection may be useful.
You’re Buying or Selling a Home
A property transaction is one situation where a more detailed look at the chimney may make sense. The inspection can provide more information about the chimney before decisions are made.
See Home-Buyer Chimney InspectionSomething About the Fireplace or Chimney Has Changed
If the fireplace, appliance, fuel type, or venting setup has changed, the existing chimney may need a closer review to understand how the current system is working.
There Was a Chimney Fire or Another Damaging Event
Heat, storms, impacts, or another event may leave damage that is difficult to understand from the fireplace opening or chimney exterior alone. A more detailed inspection may help show what happened inside the system.
Pieces or Debris Are Falling Into the Fireplace
Tile pieces, mortar, masonry, or other material can sometimes point to deterioration farther up the chimney. A camera inspection may provide a better view of where that material is coming from.
There May Be a Flue or Liner Problem
If there is reason to suspect a problem inside the flue, a closer interior look may help show areas that cannot be seen easily from the fireplace opening.

Smoke, odors, debris, or other symptoms do not always have an obvious cause. When a normal visual check does not provide enough information, a more detailed inspection may be the next step.

Questions Homeowners Ask About Level 2 Chimney Inspections
Clear answers about detailed chimney inspections, interior video, camera inspections, inspection costs, property purchases, and service availability.
What is a Level 2 chimney inspection?
A Level 2 inspection is a more detailed chimney inspection used when the system needs a closer look than a basic visual inspection provides.
The exact areas checked and the inspection procedure depend on the chimney system, access, reason for the inspection, and the confirmed service scope.
How is a Level 2 inspection different from a regular chimney
inspection?
A general chimney inspection is the starting point for many chimney concerns. A Level 2 inspection goes farther when the situation calls for a more detailed evaluation.
For broad inspection needs or a problem with an unknown cause, start with Chimney Inspections .
Does a Level 2 chimney inspection include a video camera?
A Level 2 Video Chimney Inspection uses interior video scanning to provide a closer view inside the chimney or flue.
The areas scanned, equipment used, and whether photos, recorded video, or a written report are provided should be confirmed when scheduling.
When should I get a Level 2 chimney inspection?
A more detailed inspection may make sense during a property transaction, after certain changes to the fireplace or venting system, following an event that may have caused damage, or when another inspection does not provide enough information.
Tell us why you need the inspection so the appropriate inspection type can be confirmed.
How much does a Level 2 chimney inspection cost?
The cost can depend on the chimney, access, number of flues, inspection scope, and whether additional work is needed before the interior can be viewed clearly.
The chimney and requested inspection scope should be confirmed before an accurate price is provided.
Do I need a Level 2 inspection when buying a home?
A property transfer is one situation where a more detailed chimney inspection may be appropriate.
For information specifically focused on evaluating a chimney during a home purchase, see Home-Buyer Chimney Inspection .
