  • What are the levels of chimney inspection?

    At The Original Chimney Sweep Inc., we adhere to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) guidelines, which outline three levels of chimney inspection. Level 1 is a basic inspection for chimneys under normal use, examining accessible parts. Level 2 is more thorough, required after system changes or events like chimney fires, often using video scanning. Level 3 is the most comprehensive, conducted when serious hazards are suspected and may involve removing structural components. Contact us to determine which level is right for your chimney.
