Level 1 Inspection
As professional certified chimney sweep company we recommend the LEVEL 1 inspection for chimney or fireplaces that are in continuous service under the same condition and continued use. In the LEVEL 1 inspection our technician will verify and note the accessible portions of the chimney and fireplaces inside and out visually, accessibility to the devices or appliances which allows to us to determine carefully each connection and condition. Also our technician will notify to the client on the main base of the structure and the chimney flue which will ensure better performance and efficiency when in use.
As part of the LEVEL 1 inspection will verify that the chimney is fully free of any obstruction and contamination of combustibles deposits, which allows better airflow and prevent any toxic gases such as carbon monoxide.
