A Level 2 inspection adds accessible attics, crawlspaces, basements, roof areas and video scanning of the flue interior when applicable. It is designed to reveal concealed liner gaps, cracks, offsets, restrictions and connection problems that cannot be evaluated from the fireplace opening alone.

  • A final inspection
  • An additional magnetic sweep
  • Final drone photos when conditions and location allow
  • A complete quality-control review

Exact payment milestones, closeout steps and return visits are stated in the written contract for the selected project.

Service questions

Details worth understanding.

Final specifications depend on the inspected conditions, appliance listing, selected manufacturer and applicable local requirements.

Does a Level 2 inspection require opening finished walls?+

Normally it evaluates accessible areas without destructive work. Concealed conditions that cannot be confirmed are identified as limitations, and separate exploratory work may be proposed.

Will the report include camera images?+

Representative images are included when the camera and site conditions allow useful documentation.
