The Original Chimney Sweep Inc adheres 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 to ensure safety and functionality. Level 2 is more comprehensive, required after system changes or events like chimney fires, often utilizing video scanning equipment. Level 3 is the most thorough, conducted when serious hazards are suspected, potentially involving the removal of building components for a complete assessment. Our team is available to assist in determining the appropriate inspection level for your needs.
