Level 2 Chimney Inspection in Miami
A Level 2 inspection is a more thorough, defined examination — including accessible video and a written record — used when a routine visual check isn't enough: a property sale, a change to the system, or after an event like a suspected chimney fire or major storm.
What we examine
- Everything in a routine inspection, in more depth
- Accessible portions of the flue by video where appropriate
- Connections, clearances and readily accessible areas
- A written record of findings
When a Level 2 is appropriate
Common triggers include buying or selling a home, changing the appliance or fuel, or checking the system after a chimney fire, earthquake or severe weather. It's about scope and documentation, not a pass/fail grade.
What it does and doesn't cover
A Level 2 examines accessible areas, including video of the flue where possible, but it isn't a destructive opening of concealed construction (that's Level 3). We explain exactly what's included before we start.
What affects the estimate
We don't publish one-size prices, because honest pricing depends on what we find. Factors include:
- The reason for the inspection and documentation needed
- Video examination of the flue
- Roof access and system complexity
After we inspect and explain the findings, you get a clear written estimate — no surprise line items.
How to prepare
- Have property or appliance details available
- Note the reason (sale, event, fuel change)
- Allow access to the fireplace and, if possible, the roof area
