Level 2 inspections, home sales & inspection-response
What is a Level 2 chimney inspection?
A Level 2 inspection follows NFPA 211 and is the standard for a property sale, after a chimney fire, lightning, or earthquake, or when changing the fuel type or appliance on the flue. It includes everything in a Level 1 plus internal video of the flue, an accessible attic/basement/crawlspace check of the chimney structure, and a written report.
We're selling our Sandia Heights home and the buyer's inspector wants a Level 2 - can you do it this week?
Yes - escrow-driven Level 2s are a regular workflow for us. Same-week scheduling, video documentation, and a written report delivered to you and (with your consent) directly to the buyer's agent. We bill the seller, the listing agent, or escrow per your direction.
The home inspection report says the chimney needs work before we can close.
Send us the report. We quote the specific items flagged (often cap, crown, liner, flashing, or a deferred sweep with heavy creosote), schedule the repair before your close date, and provide a completion letter for the buyer's side. Inspection-response is one of our highest-volume real-estate workflows.
We had a chimney fire last winter and want a full re-inspection before using it again.
That's a Level 2 inspection per NFPA 211 (post-event). We do a full video pass up the flue, inspect the masonry and liner for damage, and provide a written report. It's a critical step before the next fire - chimney fires often crack the liner and masonry where you can't see from below.
We're converting from a wood-burning fireplace to a gas insert - do we need a Level 2?
Yes, per NFPA 211 - changing the appliance attached to the flue triggers a Level 2 requirement. We inspect the chimney for fitness for the new fuel type, document with video, and provide the report your installer and inspector will need.
I'm a listing agent in Sandia Heights and get this flag on a third of my deals - can we set up a standing arrangement?
Yes. We pre-flight chimneys on your new listings, prioritize your closing-driven inspections, and bill on a portfolio basis. Message us with your listing volume and we'll set you up with a dedicated dispatch contact.
