NFPA 211 Inspection Levels Explained
Level 1 is a visual inspection — suitable for chimneys used normally with no changes to appliance or fuel type. Level 2 includes video camera inspection of the full flue and is required when buying or selling a home, after a fire, or when the appliance or fuel has changed. Level 3 is invasive and involves removing components to assess hidden areas — reserved for serious damage.
Why Video Camera Inspection Matters
Many chimney problems — cracked tiles, separated joints, deteriorated liner sections — are invisible from outside or from the firebox opening. A Level 2 video inspection is the only reliable way to see the full flue condition. ChimmerJim uses high-resolution cameras that capture every inch of the liner.
Inspection for Home Buyers and Sellers
A chimney inspection is critical when buying a home. Issues found during a real estate inspection can be used for negotiation and help buyers avoid costly surprises. Sellers who pre-inspect and address repairs can document their chimney's health as a selling point.

ChimmerJim was at my house within 24 hours. They cleaned the full flue, found a cracked tile I didn't know about, and gave me a clear repair quote. Professional from start to finish.

Used them for a Level 2 inspection before closing on our home. The report was detailed with photos and the inspector was patient explaining everything. Highly recommend.
Sarah K.

Fast, clean, and honest. No upsells, no scare tactics — just a thorough sweep and a real inspection. The price matched the quote exactly. Will use every year.
Mike T.

My gas fireplace had a pilot light issue. ChimmerJim diagnosed it immediately, replaced the thermocouple, and had it working the same visit. Great service.
Jennifer L.
Austin, TX
Crown was cracked and leaking water into the firebox. They repaired it in one afternoon and applied waterproofing. Two years later, still no leaks.
Robert W.
Boston, MA
I scheduled a dryer vent cleaning after noticing clothes taking forever to dry. After ChimmerJim came out, the difference was immediate. Should have done this years ago.
