Chimney Rebuilding Experts in Dedham, MA

A Level 2 inspection follows NFPA 211 and is the standard for a property sale, after a chimney fire, lightning, or earthquake, or when changing the fuel type or appliance on the flue. It includes everything in a Level 1 plus internal video of the flue, an accessible attic/basement/crawlspace check of the chimney structure, and a written report.
