Exterior and Accessible Interior Component Evaluation

During a Level 2 inspection, we examine all accessible portions of the chimney system, including the attic, crawl spaces, and basement where chimney connections pass through. This thorough review ensures proper clearances from combustibles and verifies that the chimney structure maintains safe separation throughout the home.

Identifying Structural and Safety Risks

Over time, settling foundations, moisture damage, or weather exposure can compromise a chimney’s structural stability. Our detailed assessment helps identify these issues early, preventing potential collapse or costly repairs. Every Level 2 inspection includes recommendations for targeted maintenance or restoration to extend your chimney’s lifespan.

Detailed Reporting with Repair Recommendations

After inspection, homeowners receive a full written report with photos, findings, and suggested next steps. Our certified experts take time to explain every observation in clear language, helping you understand your system’s current condition and prioritize necessary repairs or cleaning before seasonal use.

Fireplace & Chimney Cleaning and Sealing for Chicagoland Homes

Annual chimney cleaning helps reduce creosote buildup, improve draft, and spot blockages before winter use. Professional sealing adds a vapor-permeable barrier that repels rain and snow without trapping moisture in masonry.
