Your Guide to Chimney Inspections
It might still be summer, but cooler evenings are right around the corner. And nothing says cozy like a crackling fire. That is, until you hear a strange noise from the chimney or catch a whiff of smoke that shouldn’t be there. It can be alarming when this happens, which is why Anarumo Inspection Services is here to help you with a chimney inspection.
What Happens During a Level 1 Inspection?
A Level 1 chimney inspection is your standard, annual maintenance check. If you’ve been using your fireplace regularly and haven’t made any changes to your setup, this is the go-to. We inspect all easily accessible parts of the fireplace and chimney—including the firebox, flue, and damper—to ensure everything is functioning properly and safely. No fancy tools or demolition needed—just good, old-fashioned expertise.
When Do You Need a Level 2 Inspection?
Planning to sell your home, switch fuel types, or recover from a chimney fire or earthquake? That’s where a Level 2 inspection comes in. It builds on Level 1 by utilizing specialized tools, such as a video scan, to inspect the internal components of your chimney system. While still non-invasive, this inspection provides a much more detailed look, allowing us to catch hidden damage or buildup that could cause problems down the line.
What Makes a Level 3 Inspection Different?
A Level 3 inspection is the most comprehensive—and it’s usually only needed when we suspect serious damage or safety concerns. This level may involve removing parts of walls or chimney structures to fully access problem areas. It’s rarely needed, but when it is, it’s a crucial step in preventing significant hazards like structural fires or carbon monoxide leaks.
